AND...LOVING IT!
I finished week 1 of operation svelte and "going rogue."
Totals:
3 runs (3 mi, 5 mi hills, 10 mi long run) + 1 brick run (1 mile) = 19 miles
2 bike (1 hour spin, 1 road ride 14.5 miles) = ?? miles (anyone know how many miles you ride in a spin class?)
1 swim (200 wup, Emily's SKIPS x 2) = 2200 yards
2 weights (30 minutes from Mr. Speedy Pi's Pfitz book + pushups and abs, 40 minutes at the gym, mostly free weights some machines)
I think "rogue" is agreeing with me. I did only manage 1 swim, which is lame b/c I love it! This week starts week 2 of rogue/svelte. Mr. Speedy Pi and I are likely moving on Saturday so I may not get in the long weekend workouts this time but am still hoping for:
2-3 run, bike, swim (1 long of each)
1 strength session (already have this planned with Gazelle for Wednesday...yes, I did plan something!)
Speaking of long weekend workouts. Gazelle and I did an awesome workout yesterday. We swam (I did 2200 yards) then we went out for a 10 mile run. I guess I should caveat the run since we did do some (lots) of walking but we still covered 10 miles! (Note to self: Eat breakfast before embarking on a double workout, bring more than 2 bottles on the fuel belt since you know you'll get sucked into going whatever distance your friends are going and bring two Gu's so you're not so hungry at the end you want to eat your arm.)
Saturday, Mr. Speedy Pi and I went to the Banks-Vernonia trail and rode our bikes. This was the first time in a LONG time that I've been on my bike. I didn't really have a goal for this ride, just to get comfortable on the bike again. I didn't figure out how to set Garmin for a bike until we were almost done. We did stop a few times but overall I felt good, especially since the first 7ish miles were uphill (not a huge grade but still uphill). This also means the last half was downhill. I'm not a huge fan of going fast so I really tired to make myself be comfortable with the downhill and not ride the breaks the whole way. By the end of the ride, I felt like I could keep going but also felt accomplished that on my first ride I completed a longer distance than a Sprint Tri.
Operation Svelte is also going well. I only went over my calories (according to DailyPlate) once this week, I splurged a little on Friday. I weigh-in Wednesday to see how the first week and a half went.
Here's to another week of rogue/svelteness!

Great job for week 1 and i think days that you allow yourself the freedom are important, it'll make you more likely to stick with it!! Always been curious about distance in a spin class too :)
I made it home before I had to eat my arm (I had a granola bar in my gym bag), and then ate a lot of pizza. Still was under for the day, though, yay me!
It was a great workout yesterday, but my left ankle is strangely sore today - what did we do to our ankles?
I'm excited for our Wednesday weights (+ my swim), and maybe next week we can 'not plan' some hills! :)
Nice work! I need training buddies like you all in my life. People to kick my butt down the street and in the pool. Hopefully week 2 is even better.
Good work. Rogue seems to fit you well!
Way to go chica!
sounds wild, way to go!
I'm glad your new "plan" is agreeing with you! 10 miles after a long swim!? Hard. Core. I took a bike handling course which actually was very good for my confidence. They covered things like emergency stops and cornering. Maybe you can find a similar class near you to gain more confidence on the bike?
Awesome week!! That swim+run is hard core. Great job! See you Wednesday
You are off to a great start. 2200 yards is awesome! Have fun moving this .eekend,
you are kicking BUTT! Rouge agrees with us. well Hopefully when I get back in the swing of things I'll be in the game of going rouge :) great job though, you are a workout fiend!
wow - it seems to work for you!! keep at it!!
I'm proud of you for sticking to Operation Svelte!
Oooh you're doing great lady! I am soo jealous of all your workouts, I need to start operation rogue too.
Ok, I'm starting today.
I have also been thinking about doing some two a days. If I could drag my ass out of bed in the morning for a short run...maybe I could start this thing off right.
yay girl! you are doing awesome. love how motivated you are sans-plan! seems to suit you well :)
That's awesome. 10 miles after 2000+ meter swim. That's so sweet! Your totally kicking ass.
Good job!! How was the trail? As good as we all hope?!
Rogue is the way to go.
look at you kicking butt and doing all sorts of workouts!!!! sounds like going rougue is just right for you! keep it up :)
