Welcome Spring!!

About time. Supposed to be b-e-a-utiful today. Let the daydreaming from my office window begin!! And the hot dog bus should be open soon...I can see it from my window, will keep y'all posted as I am sure I keep that place in business during the spring/summer months. Had a long talk with Justin yesterday. I am really liking having a coach. He is supportive and ecouraging and makes me feel like I can do anything I put my mind to. Love it!! He gave me a great tip yesterday for all of those who own and use a Garmin. I am now set up on motionbased.com. I download all my Garmin info to that site and he can analyse it and tell me what I am doing right and wrong. And it is FREE!! I was having trouble sending my Garmin stuff too him using the software and of course I am cheap and did not want a membership to a different site. Apparently, Garmin is in the process of buying Motion Based. It is pretty cool as last night I was tinkering around and the site actually downloads the weather of the day of the workout and an actual map of your route. He gave me a bit of a hard time yesterday as he is "Still waiting for me to get the Garmin figured out" And he was sure he could do a better job coaching me if he had that info. Well, there you have it JP!! Coach away... His advice for this week was work as hard as you possibly can for the next three days...the bike ride this morning (hence the extra two intervals, I could hear him in my head for the entire workout), the swim tomorrow and the run on Thursday. Then Friday is a rest day and Saturday is yet another brick workout. Oh joy!! Oh joy!!
