Long Overdue

So the past few weeks have been CRAZY around here, so I haven't been able to update my blog in a couple of weeks. Between swim lessons, the girls starting at a new daycare and the school year starting for both Erin and Abigail (who started kindergarten this week!!!!), I have barely been able to keep my head on straight. So here is what you have missed the past couple of weeks.

• I managed to get in A LOT of good training and am feeling well prepared for my race. 
• My pace run on Saturday 2 weeks ago was my best training run of the year as I ran 3 consecutive miles under 9:00 minutes
• After breaking 2 spokes in 2 weeks on the same wheel, I decided to invest in a new set of wheels for my road bike. They have been working well so far
• Speaking of broken spokes, I have to mention out awesome Bike World has been. I have needed service done on my bicycle 3 times this summer and each time they have had me in and out in the same day!
• My brick workouts have progressed very well as I completed a 21 mile bicycle ride followed by a 5 mile run this past Tuesday
• I was surprised to find out that the pool would be closed for 2 weeks for maintenance, but it has turned out to be a blessing as I have spent a lot more time in the open water. My speed and sighting have gradually improved
• Due to a scheduling conflict, I had to swim, bike, and run after work today. I ended up doing a 100% swim (1,500 meters), 75% bike (18.15 miles), and 50% run (3.05 miles). It went extremely well and now I'm even more excited for the race
• Speaking of the race, IT IS ONLY 10 DAYS AWAY!!!!

I'm sure I missed a few things, but you should be caught up now. Next time I won't wait so long to post.
