Training last year is 100% different now that Scott and I are both on the Iron train moving forward together this year. I love that he decided to join me! The balance is something we are paying very close attention to. At the end of the day our marriage and relationship is the most important thing...but that does not stop of from pushing each other during our training sessions. We are pros when it comes to TRASH TALKING with each other!
Saturday we turned our legs INSIDE OUT with a 2 hour non-stop suffer session on the bike and toped it off with a solid swim. Sunday is where the true MENTAL test would take place. COLD, WINDY, and steady RAIN would join us for our entire 10 mile run. It really was brutal as far as the conditions but neither would give in and bag the run so we just sucked it up. As we arrived home we both immediately went on to share that the legs felt amazing the entire run. SPOT ON FANTASTIC!!
This weekend we are completely unplugging from training so that we can just connect and decompress from of daily packed filled schedules. A short two day mental vacation that will leave us fresh and ready to rock and roll next week.
Until then....we are sweating it out and having fun!

You guys are amazing! It's always so inspiring to see how hard you train. Keep up the good work!
That is awesome that you are training together! Love that you are trash talking! The spin class I do is led by a local pro whose husband is often in the class. She gives him more crap than anyone else!! haha
i run with my hubs too and its awesome on so many levels...great to see another husband and wife doing the same!
So fun to be training together and awesome having such a strong long run, despite the crummy conditions.
Enjoy the reprieve this weekend!
So proud of y'all!! I miss you!! We need to do lunch sometime.
Hugs!!

:) enjoy the journey!
H and I have had some of our best conversations on our long bike rides or runs last year. It's a great time to escape life's stressors and just enjoy the moment :)
Love that you guys are able to train together. Keep on making each other a little bit better each day!
built in training partners are awesome!
That is awesome. As Karen begins her journey toward triathlong (first in August) I can see us doing a lot of the same.
Sounds perfect! I'd love to have someone in my life who likes to do the same things!
