One week from today...

I can't believe race day is just one week from today!!!!!!  I am feeling so many emotions right now but most of all, I am excited.  I've done the work and I am ready.  I can't wait to go do it!
Thursday nights "easy 3 mile run" turned out to be my fastest run yet!  I felt great and was happy to cruise along and finish holding just over 8 minute miles.  It's been a while since I've ran that fast!
Friday morning I tested out swimming with my tri shorts and sports bra and other than my extremely pale stomach, it worked out ok.  I've gone back and forth with a few options of what to wear for race day.  The top that I bought at the tri shop a few weeks ago is a little too big so I ordered a few more tops to try on and choose from.  I think I have it figured out, for now...
Saturday I had an awesome ride - just under 28 miles and I felt great.  I cruised along at an average of 18.8 mph for the first half, then a little slower on the way home but finished feeling great.  A quick change from tri shorts to run shorts, put running shoes on, and I was off on my 5 mile loop.  I walked to then end of the street (about a quarter mile) and my legs didn't feel wobbly at all as I started to run!  I cruised along and felt great.  I finished the 5.2 mile run on 43:25, very happy with that!
Today is a full rest day, it seems strange to have a rest day on the weekend since we are usually doing a long run or ride each day!  We were able to sleep in until after 8 (thank you Makayla and Conner!!!)  We had a great family breakfast and then made it to church.  It's been a while since we've been and it was nice to be back.  After that Jason took the kids to get a treat and I did some work in my classroom.  Now I'm enjoying a relaxing afternoon!
