1250 meters. That's 0.77 miles. What happened to the other 0.23 miles? Ugh. I am the worst at math & I work with numbers all day. I think that 0.23 miles is about 15 more laps. I'll have to make that up next time in the pool, which I think is Monday.
My training plan starts on Valentine's Day. Hmmmm. That's kinda sucky, but I suppose since I have nothing else planned on Valentine's Day, seems like a good a day as any. Honestly though, it is the official day that the Alcatraz training plan starts. I wonder if that was a coincidence or not? Probably.
So instead of indulging in sweets & flowers I'll be at the gym, then the dentist, getting a root canal. Fun fun. If you have any extra Valentine's Day gifts lying around...feel free to send them my way.

Sugarush
Training for Alcatraz starts in 1 week. Scary! Considering I haven't been swimming lately, I should probably be a bit afraid! But I am confident in my new training plan & as long as I stick to it, I should be fine come June. Fingers crossed!
The funny part of the plan is that it begins on Valentine's Day, which normally would be a conflict, but not this year! Ha ha. I think. So I will be at the gym dutifully next Monday night, training plan in hand, or at least memorized for the big kickoff. I think I will have to reward myself with a cupcake from my new favorite store in town Sugarush. They make cupcakes! I know, I know, this isn't part of the training plan or diet, but they are so tasty. I think I have already bought 50 since they opened a few weeks ago, but hey! People have been having birthdays & parties, so what's a better gift than a cupcake? Yes, I knew you would agree.
I'm a little anxious to get my hands on this training plan, as I am unsure of how hard it will be. I have also been toying with the idea of renting a bike for Alcatraz, as opposed to hauling my bike 3,000 miles across country. It's cheaper & sadly, the bike is a lot nicer than my bike. Oh well, what can you do? I'll keep everyone up to date on my training, as well as what my favorite cupcake flavors are, as of now, I have to say I am a huge fan of the vanilla, vanilla, vanilla combo - yes, that's right - 3 vanillas! Which means - they are stuffed with icing! Yummy!!! Can you see a few extra 100 miles on the treadmill.....
Check out their link - they really have great cupcakes & if you go...make sure you tell them I sent you!
