The recap (a couple days late, but whatever…)
Training Goals: 5/24 – 5/30
Monday: Easy swim – FAIL! I was not recovered from my 24-hour flu that knocked me out Sunday, so I rested instead.
Tuesday: Run + Yoga – SUCCESS! I ran two speedy miles while my running buddies did 800′s on the track, then we packed it up & headed to yoga. (I also walked just over 1/2 mile to the track before my run.)
Wednesday: Triple Day! Morning spin class + post-spin brick run, evening Open Water Swim with the Ambitious One! – 2/3 SUCCESS! I did my morning spin class, but the foot was sore from the previous evening’s run, so I skipped the brick. I didn’t OWS, but I did do my fantastic 2500 yd swim! Yay!
Thursday: Swim – SUCCESS! I swam an easy 1000 yards to stretch out my really sore shoulders from the previous day’s swim, and then I walked just over a mile to MAX
Friday: Yoga + Bike (actual plan – bike to & from yoga!) – half SUCCESS! I yoga’d, but it was so rainy that I decided to skip the bike.
Saturday: Run 5 miles + party prep (yay! Brad’s 40th birthday) – FAIL! I did not run. I don’t even have a very good excuse – I did homework & party prep all day instead.
Sunday: Rest/Recover from said party – SUCCESS! I rested AND recovered (and planted all my tomatoes & peppers).
Training Goals: 5/31 – 6/6
Monday: Rest – spoiler! I was successful
Tuesday: Swim + Yoga
Wednesday: Triple Day! Morning spin class + post-spin brick run, evening swim with the Ambitious One!
Thursday: Bike to work + lunch swim + post-work 20 miler
Friday: Yoga + possible Forest Park run
Saturday: Bike
Sunday: Run (4-5 miles)
I can’t keep up with all these goals! I especially like the new heathly eating one. Your body will love you for it! I’ve switched over to buffalo meat (from regular ground beef) and I LOVE it! You should try it.

We almost always do buffalo when we’re doing red meat…the architect doesn’t really like beef. It is so good!
It’s IS so good! I’ve only had it twice now (both hamburgers) and honestly I couldn’t tell a difference. Can you?
gazelle reply on June 2nd, 2010:
I can tell the difference between buffalo & most beef, but not b/w buffalo and the low-fat organic grass fed beef that was fed on unicorn tears and leprechaun’s special four-leaf clovers. (i.e. the really expensive shit.)
I think it has more flavor (due to the way its fed & the fact that it’s impossible to feedlot a herd of bison, so they get more exercise).
I like that I always show up on your goals list!
