Tweaking Sarah v.2.010...

I know I've mentioned that I rely a lot on the support of others, and so here's something I wanted to call out. People have noticed that I am looking toner. I appreciate this a lot, because I have noticed that my weight has yet to change drastically, which has been a little discouraging. I've adjusted my diet to be more balanced, and have increased my protein intake especially in regards to eggs, reduced-fat peanut butter, and milk. Overall, I feel like I'm doing a lot of good for myself, and it feels good. Sarah v.2.010 is looking and feeling relatively good about herself, but can definitely take it further.

This might seem like nothing to most of you regular athletes out there, but I'm honestly completing a minimum of 3 workouts a week.

This week I had completed:
1) Sunday: Indoor run on treadmill (raining in NY): 3+ miles
2) Monday: Indoor swim with Group Training Session (raining in Brooklyn) - 1/2mi approx
3) Thursday: Indoor bike (3 miles) and swim (.5mi) in Omaha (torrential downpour in Omaha)
4) I'll probably do a Friday night or Saturday morning workout here in Omaha, but it'll be tough squeezing it into the Thomas Family fun we're having. :)

I'm currently staying at a Hampton Inn near the Yahoo! Omaha office, and its pretty spiffy with the workout gear they've got. Specifically, every machine is hooked up to a state of the art TV, they rent out headphones (with disposable ear covers), they've got medicine balls of all sizes, and a pool/hot tub setup. The weather in Omaha was pretty amazing yesterday, and I was tempted to go for a run outside, but was too exhausted from the red-eye I took out here. I'd like to work on my stamina for things like things, and, of course, a certain endurance race that I'm completing in July.

I need more time, and more running buddies. Let me know if you ever want to do a early morning run on the Brooklyn Bridge! I'm thinking I might need to start doing this on either Sun, Mon, Thurs, or Fri mornings, minimum of 5 miles.
