Well it's Tuesday so that means a long day at work and off to the pool. I was reading my June issue of Triathlete magazine during lunch, they have a colum called "My favorite work out." Austrailian Craig Walton shared a favorite swim session. I decided to try this work out today. I cut mine down a bit. He warms up 800-1200 then does 16x50 on the 45, 12 on the 50, 8 on the 55, and 4 on the … [Read more...]
Bad Mood
May 5, 2008 By
Maybe it was missing two days of training due to total debauchery in St. Louis at Courtneys bachellorette party, but I woke up in a really bad mood. I could have stayed in bed, but I some how forced my running shoes on my bilstered feet.(5 inch heels are rough when wearing them all night.) The first two miles I pondered what was wrong, and what needed done. The good endorphins must have started … [Read more...]
Long swim
May 3, 2008 By
Friday morning I did a straight mile 1/4 swim before work. Nothing fancy just a long swim. I can swim a mile no problem in the pool, but an open water swim makes me nervous. If I am going to do the Railsplitter in August, I better get some open water practice in. After work I did a weight lifting class at Fit club. Satuday night is my best friend Courtney's bachellorette party in St.Louis. … [Read more...]
Back on the trainer.
May 1, 2008 By
I brought my bike in last night and put it back on the trainer. I got up early and rode for about an hour. I can't always make it out on my bike during the week due to the kiddo's. My legs felt great. I tried to do half a high cadence, and half at a tougher gear. I just cranked the tunes on my ipod. After work I made it out for my "long" run. I did 6 miles down Washington. Now I know 6 is … [Read more...]
Ice My Knee
April 30, 2008 By
I woke up early this morning and did 3.5 miles on the treadmill just to get a good start to the day. I had planned to do sprint work after work. I got to the park and start with a 1 mile warm up. My knee was really hurting, so for once I listened to my body and quit after 2 miles. I headed to pick up the kids and went to fit club. I ended up doing a sprint workout in the pool. 4x 200 warm up. … [Read more...]
