Great Workout

We had a killer swim workout on today. We did a bunch of 50m drills and then I did 4x75 and then we all did 4x50 with pool buoys so we were just using our arms no kicking. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. Then we cooled down with more 50m drills. After that we went for a run.

Added note. I fell asleep on the couch at 7:00 woke up and went to bed at 9:30 and woke up in the morning after 7... it was a good workout.

Missed it yesterday

I was planning on running yesterday but the rain and cold kept me inside. And just not wanting to run on the treadmill kept me at my desk. And a deadline kept me busy. BUT i got out today and it felt really good. My legs were still tired and sore from lifting on Wednesday but as i starting running they warmed up and felt great. I was planning on a sorter run because I have swim at 730 follow by a run at 830 so i didn't want to do to much. I did ran a little easier and walked tons less. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)

Did Squat Today.

I did squats today. I did some weight training this morning to strengthen my legs. It felt good until i went to step up a step and my hamstrings were so fatigued that my foot didn't come up. I guess it was a good work out. I'll post more weight training details in future posts.

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.
