It seems that this week, the Universe decided to unhinged its jaw in an attempt to swallow me whole.
I think it miscalculated. Hasn't it seen my chubby thighs? There's no way you can eat me in one bite, Universe.
Saturday was my 18-mile run of doom.
Monday was a brutal stair workout.
Tuesday was a double dose - hardest kettlebell workout and hardest swim workout.
Why would Wednesday be any different?
We were set to do a ladder workout.
Warmup
400 Hard - 200 Recovery
800 Hard - 400 Recovery
1200 Hard - 400 Recovery
1600 Hard - 400 Recovery
1200 Hard - 400 Recovery
800 Hard - 400 Recovery
400 Hard - 200 Recovery
Cooldown
Which is completely doable - and FUN even. I have a special place in my heart for track workouts.
But this run sucked because...it was raining. And cold-ish. And did I also mention the rain? Because It Was Raining.
But a run in the rain is better than a run on the treadmill, so we put on our rain gear...tossed on hats...put the gummy bears in a Ziploc baggie...and headed out.
Eight miles, in the bank.
Damn it feels good to be hardcore.

That is a badass workout in some badass conditions . . . which equals badass squared (I think? My basic math skills are pathetic). Anyway, awesome week thus far!
we *are* hardcore to the bone! love the title line btw ;)
You are bad ass. That is all.
Gummy bears are the best incentive and reward for that kind of workout.
Well done, my hardcore friend.
you are definitely hardcore!
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
You seriously rock. I get tired just reading your blog. :)
NICE JOB! Way to get those workouts in!
And was there ever a question? Rain over the treadmill ANY day!!
p.s. Are you doing the Gear West or Apple Duathlon?...
