Intensity Up'ed

Before this run was thinking that I've been running about the same for awhile now. And my legs didn't feel like they were getting stronger. (As you've heard me whine about in previous posts.) So mapped out a shorter run and was going to run faster, even though I would need to walk. There is nothing wrng with walking. One thing i do like about walking is... in a future run i will run past a prevoius walking point and know i am getting stronger.

Group Run and Swim

Our group training time was pushed back this week from 730 swim then run to 9 run then swim. I was the only one at practice today doing the Mooseman Tri. So one of the coaches and i went for a longer run. Again my legs feel heavy and i felt sluggish. I ate breakfast (oatmeal) at 7:00 and had OJ with protein at 8:30. I think i needed more fuel. Speaking of the Powerbar is a sponsor of Team in Training and we all got a bunch of bars and recovery drinks. I'll let you know what i think of them.

Busy with The Green

I got a short run in today. Finishing up the illustration for the cover, ad creation and layout for the Billerica Green. Leg are feeling tired but fighting through.

We're back running.

And I'm running. Power came back on at 6pm on Sunday. Almost 4 nights without power. I didn't mind except now I am super busy with The Billerica Green making up 3 days. Fighting a nose cold for the past 3 days but it did feel good to get out and run in the fresh air. Except for the guy with the stinky stogy, and the dumpster truck leaking what can only be described as yuck, and then yet another guy with a stogy... What are the chances.

No Power No Swimming

Along with 144,000 people (down from 330,000) I don't have power today and the training for the Triathlon was canceled.

Rain Rain Go Away...

Wet snow and rain today so i was inside on the ol' treadmill. Not much else to say.

2 Muffins and a Coffee

So I did a little experiment today and had 2 apple muffins and an 8oz coffee at around 8am. I than ran at noon. Guess what i discovered. Yep! No energy. I was draggin'. When i run in the morning i have an 8oz glass of OJ and a half- ish scoop of protein powder and i feel great. Or least i feel awful when i don't. Next run (might be a while from now. We're suppose to get a bunch of snow all week.) I'll let you know how i feel.
