double leo duty means more miles. ;)
this combined with the 800s = tired Momma.
- Miles:
- 5920 total / 819 in 2013
- Goal:
Balance new-mom duties with running, riding, and weights in order to maintain a healthy level of sanity. Or something like that. :)

Yasso's for Breakfast! 7.2 km 00:39 08:43 pace
My plan called for 6X800s with 400m recoveries.
DUDES. That's an 8:43 pace WITH recoveries. Can you see my happy snail dance? :)
I was told to do the repeats at 80% - when I inquired what 80% ... read more-
Wow, look at this former snail reincarnate as a cheetah! Great job, Barb-- thats an awesome pace with recoveries averaged in!

And subject you to a screaming baby for the majority of the ride? I like you too much to allow that to happen. :) Leo + Car Seat = Sobbing.

It is so tough when you are in the midst of it but my guess is that Leo will eventually like the trailer and I believe your projections on his future, are spot on as well. I love the Barb and Leo episodes here on dailymile. They are some of my favourite stories because they are real and honest. Thanks for sharing.

Anna - ha. yea...he's a baby of extremes - VERY happy and then VERY angry. There is hardly a middle ground. Been that since he was born...I remember the midwife teaching me to breastfeed and he was SCREAMING at my breast and Pat said something about babies doing that and she said, "Nope. That's just his little personality!" The kid was 24 hrs old. Jeezus. He is, I do believe, what people refer to as "High Needs"... ;)

Sam - I'm going to do a small race in June - just a 10ker from the MEC running series. It's small in size too - max. 500 people. I have no idea how many will actually sign up, but I want to use my giant marathon training base to see if I can get a nice fat PR in a 10k. :)
Mike - my new plan has me clockin' miles. It was weird actually because I'm used to pacing in kms. I *might* go back to ks and do the equivalents...just because my brain is better adept at knowing what the pace feels like for Xkms... -
Busy lady today! That a nice progressive run for sure!

Nice Cycle and strength training (That said, I assumed there was strength training involved in the picking up of dinner, but on further reflection, unless you were getting Flinstonesque Ribs (the kind that tip the car over) there would likely be no strength training involved...)

I would love to have carried home a huge side of ribs, but alas, it was just greasy food from the stockyards. also: have i ever mentioned my immense love for the Flintstones? You have no idea...

Marina - nope. my bike is a piece o crap. i got it at a garage sale for 80$ 5 years ago. it is supposed to be a 12 speed mountain bike, but it really only clicks into about 3 gears. i love that i can beat the hell out of it, the tires always take a great pounding, but it weighs a ton, and the gear thing is really annoying....sigh...

Thanks peeps! He is a very happy baby - and trust me I've seen some very angry babies lately. I just assumed all babies were happy, but apparently that's not the case. yikes! It was good to hear he looks happy - we had a rough start, but things are pretty good these days. (ruhroh. i said the wrong words. now we're going to turn a corner...... ;) ).

Thanks peeps. Yasso had a 10day cycle plan for 10k. I think I'll try it. His marathon plan worked well. I've never used a plan either - just usually wing it, but I really want to focus on actually doing well this time, so I think I might try a plan!
