THursday, Friday, Saturday and Increase!

THURSDAY:

Honestly, I can't remember anymore! aha- it was a weird day, cuz I slept in again. This follows through with the weekly goal, to listen to my body.

BIKE: 1 h 15min
  • On the trainer (or the rollers as Steph calls them)
  • 10 hills- it was very intense, I worked very hard.
  • I hoped to run after (make up for the missed run on Wed.), but I was between teaching blocks, and I sacrificed that time to clean up my bike and especially my chain from Sunday's ride. I really need to hire a student to clean my bike... so much time!
SWIM: 43 min
  • 350 warm up
  • Skipped drills b/c of time factor
  • 6 x 150's (builds) this was weird- it seemed noisy in the pool and it was hard to tell how hard I was swimming. There were some great swimmers in my lane, pushing me to work a bit harder.
  • 10 x 25 sprints
  • 10 x 25 kick
YOGA: I was very tired at yoga, but the stretch, none-the-less, felt great.

Didn't get much core in, totally got in my ankle/leg strength.


FRIDAY: And let the holidays begin! Yahoo!


Morning:
  • woke up to the power outages and gleaful children abandoning campus. yippee- time to chill.
  • Opted to train at Commonwealth (weights and cardio) where there was light.
  • This was nice, more social and I enjoyed watching the swimmers.
  • 30 minutes treadmill, full core, full glutes/ankle work, upper body weights.
  • I worked only with the 7.5 lb bar-bells and I was sore the next day!
Afternoon:
  • I had a hot date that evening. Yippee!
  • Had to cut short my run so that I could try to ease out the swimmers' frizz my hair has developped.
  • 38 minutes: 10 minutes moderate, 8 x 30 sec sprints (w/ 30 sec recoveries)
  • It wasn't until the last 10 minutes when I finally felt limber and fluid as a runner.
SATURDAY: Bike - Swim
  • I'm really going on strike with the early wake-ups! I opted to stay in bed and forfeit the breast stroke.
  • I then took mini-naps between trying to make a pre-bike swim plan. Have you ever found those phone services for pool sched's at Crystal and Commonwealthy make you suicidal?
  • Well, (by the time I figured out the length's times) I just kept finding myself 15minutes behind sched', so then I slept some more so I could call Kristi up for a ride. It was a terrific ride. IT ROCKED! So glad I found some cycling companions.
  • We just about missed the rain too! I was full on smilling and happy on that ride. I tried to fake that smile on my other rides when I kicked it solo, however it was a strained grimace. I was sooooo happy on the bike today! yippee!
BIKE: 4 hours - 4 hours 15.... distance ~100 I am so not interested in my computer...
  • Great... I think for the protein meal supplement I will try the orange creamsicle thing "Perpetuate."
  • Gels were great. Minus the Power- Mocha-Gell. felt like that candy I bought as a kick that would snap and crackle on your tongue.
  • I was craving an Elevate bar.... I really like those squares.
Rested with some lunch and the news paper for a couple of hours

SWIM: 1 hour (2300 m) at the Y
  • Nice to have a tri-focussed programme.
  • My shoulder is quite sore again, I think partly because I was tight from the weights.
  • I did some arm-swings before the swim, but I think I need to do some more.
