My Journey to the Pro stage....after the fourth baby

The greatest tragedy of man is never realizing or reaching his full potential~"Dont TALK about it,BE about it!"











WELCOME to my blogspot! I am utilizing this space as a journal of sorts,where my workouts as well as random thoughts are posted....



Now that I have a few good Pro shows under my belt,I am in "off season" until 2013,due to the VERY unexpected news of my 4th child!! In the meantime, I will be keeping a journal of how a pro athlete reclaims her pre-baby body and juggles fitness and family. I am planning a Pro show just a few months after the baby arrives, as well as gearing up to hit new PR's for 5k's,half and full marathons! My ultimate goal is to simply get better with age....(and hopefully snag an IFBB pro card and break 19 min in a 5k in the process)so come follow me on my crazy journey to the Pro-Stage and Beyond... after a fourth child!!Feel free to leave any comments or advice!

workout and rough outline POA for triathlon training

good workout today.
4x15 decline DB bench with Arnold press ss with
4x12 barbell skull crushers with 15-20 mini presses
4x15 pec dec ss with
3x18 traveling pushups (lateral,center,lateral)
4x15 cable crossovers
3x30 dirty 30's ss with
3x12 over head rope extensions on cable
3x15 kickbacks with twist

the cardio area was very crowded today so i did 20 minutes of the stepper(i.hate.that.machine.)
and then ended with 40 min on TM
2miles on stepper and almost 5miles on the TM.
felt good to run and get my thoughts together on training,and how to incorporate triathlon training,with contest prep and 1/2 marathon training as well.

i think i got a plan that will work.
this is just a rough outline,and I'm sure it will change to accommodate what will fit in the schedule of life with 3 kids......
2xa week will be swim practice at the butt crack of dawn,weekends be bike miles and BRICK sessions,on top of LSD on Sunday's
so t/th swim
sat/sun BRICK or just bike miles(sat) and LSD(sun)
m/w HIIT
mon-sat gym time,hitting each major muscle group 2x
mon-Sunday closer to the show (4-6wks out maybe,depending on how I'm looking) will be AM and PM cardio....
and fitting in bike rides when possible.
i know how to run
i know how to swim
but ive never biked before aside from when i was kid.
this should be fun to figure out!

AND i think the cross training will be beneficial to contest prep training.
you don't have to be an athlete to look like one,but i AM an athlete,so i will train like one,and BE the athlete junkie!

so lots to think about,February 1rst is the cut off day for early registration,race day is April 17th,2 weeks before the 1rst show,3 weeks before the Pro show and 4 weeks from the 1/2 marathon....
looks like April and May will be some busy months!

but its all good!!!!

happy Saturday yall!
