Speedwork Fail, win fail…
My coach has designated Fridays a heavy speed work out day. I do mean Intense and HEAVY. First week I had 7 miles of 2 mile repeats, Last week, it was 8. This week 9. I did the 7 and 8in the weeks past. Neither one ws executed very well, but I got loaded up …
Summer of Weakness
I’m in a bit of a Mood funk. I just Feel BLAH. I am enjoying my training. That seems to be the only thing right now that I’m liking. Today I did the Swim/Run/Swim/Run workout. The coaching person had specified exactly where to run…. So I ran around Panera Bread. Which turns out to be …
Highlights from this week in training.
Currently I am not sure if I am training for Bryce Canyon half marathon, getting ready for Jacksonville Bank Marathon, or just maintaining…. I’ve been kind of doing whatever workouts I have and enjoying them very very much. Last week I had 28 running miles. This week I managed 29.5. SO far on both …
Loose end, or just….
Today I am feeling a little bit Blah. Training is going well, though I have had a few questions for my coach, which hopefully he will answer. I think I may actually just be reacting to the Mundane-ness of my life currently. It is a lot of work, go home, workout, walk dog. I do …
And the resolution of Monday Blues…
Well. I got up on Tuesday in a state of “muddle-ment” On Monday I wrote abut my goal to organize and compartmentalize my life. Well… The above did not really happen. I knew on Monday that there was a problem at work. I did a pretty good job at shelving it, but once I …
Monday Blues
I am trying to continue to be 100% focused on my training and my goals, which is proving to be a bit difficult…As Skeletor said…”It will come and go” Work has turned into this big horrible nasty Ball of knotted up Yarn that is going to take some time to unravel.. Luckily, I got …
28 weeks to go….
I finished off this week fairly well. Very SLOW long run…and a nice 45 minute Spin. Yesterday I did a Spin Class (for an hour of spinning on the plan) and a 3.5 mile run. Lets start with the Spin Class shall we? REALLY Awful. I’ve gone to this class one time before. I did …
Super fun week, with one little concern….
It’s been a great week. I was excited about my workouts, and I have enjoyed each and every one of them, as much as I could. Monday was fun. Tuesday I did the workout with a friend and it was a new one to us. It involved a lot of transition practices for Triathalons. I’m …
SO FREAKING EXCITED
about next week’s training plan!!!! It involves so many things I’ve never done, and looks SO different from the buildup to the Marathon. Yahoo! I have swims and runs, and a run swim run swim thingy and a swim run swim bike thingy….and well a RETURN TO WEIGHTS!!!
So this week rocked.
This week was of course dubbed as “wicked Easy” by the guy who writes my training plan. Pffft. It wasn’t particularly difficult, but “Wicked Easy” it wasn’t…. Mon June 3: either swim 2000 straight and easy or tread water 1 hour. On Monday I ended up treading water. My shoulder has …
