Recently, due to the articles at the college of pharmacy, people often ask what I would do if I didnt have class during the day, "Would you train all day?" Since Friday was such a great day I decided to make it my next blog entry and answer that question.
The perfect day would start with a great breakfast (pancakes, eggs, bowl of fruit, and a couple cups of black coffee) then time to set up for the day.
This is my "transition" area for the day
After a couple of hours on the bike I got home, spent a few minutes prepping for the run and headed out the door. Things were going great until about mile 8 when the wheels started to fall off. I'm not sure if it was because of the lack of water, long bike ride, or long hours of the past couple of weeks, but I was on struggle street for the last 4 miles.
Once I made it back to the house first things first, a nice cold ice bath to help the legs recover a bit
(this is after most of the Ice had melted)
Followed by a nice recovery shake
(The glass is eluding to my next recovery beverage this evening)
After the recovery shake and a quick shower it was off to work. I got a couple hours in at the clinic and by the time I got home it was almost past my bedtime, I got in a couple snacks and I think I was asleep before I hit the bed.
I hope this brings a little insight to the perfect day. Since it is raining now, and supposed to be the rest of the day, I think it will be a perfect day to get some things done inside the house and let the body rest.
Until next time keep training!
