Peak…week.
This week has lower miles than last week….but… it’s still…. exciting. Monday I had a swim. This was not exciting. It was peaceful, and long and stretchy. I was still tired from the longer run on Sunday, so… Monday night I had a deep tissue massage. It was a challenge to get through. The …
Yassos
I have not been very faithful about posting for a bit now. I have been entirely full up of “life” on time, which I think is a great thing. I’m frankly amazed at myself that since the end of August and beginning of September, I’ve managed to go to Nigeria, interview for a new job …
Recovery Miles.
Wow. So Sunday I did my ever so slow 12 miler and then spent the rest of the day kind of recovering. I woke up a few times in the night and found moving about to be challenging. I knew I had 2 measly miles on the schedule. I debated doing them in the pool…doing …
Could I be winning?
So yes, I am still sitting here in Florida. Limbo Limbo. I go back and forth, i want to go, then part of me doesn’t. In part because training is going pretty much better than I expected this week. Tuesday I awoke and was disappointed to find out my left back tweak was still …
Boring…
Sooo, my leg… It isn’t really better. It also isn’t all that bad. It’s a bit hard to tell what exactly is going on with it. I ran 2 miles today and struggled with all sorts of little niggles here and there, the intense heat and a feeling of frustration. I never settled into a …
Injury list…possibly
So I had a great great weekend. I’m still on cloud nine about my nice long swim. I will say It really was great to have a big accomplishment. In addition, since it was a swim…and not many people swim, I really enjoyed not having my accomplishment compared immediately to everyone’s past experiences. My …
Rest week continuith
I’m enjoying the workouts from rest week. They are all very short, and as such I can “push it” a little on pace and such and kind of have a bit of fun seeing how fast I can go on these shorter workouts. I also feel somehow energized from the workouts, rather than beat down. …
Time Trial Friday
I’m rarely asked to do a time trial by my coach, so I was a bit surprised to see it on the plan, but, it occasionally happens. So today was a 1500 time trial in the pool. Sadly in the morning, I realized there was also a 2 mile run. 2 miles is not …
It continues…
I had a bit of a bad feeling about Speed work today. I wanted to do it, but…like everything this week, I got out of the house a little late. I slept OK. I’m not really recovered from the lack of sleep. I saw the coach of tuesday and he reminded me that I need …
Sufferin’
Yeah, this is the week of suffer. Monday I swam long and ran 1 mile. That one mile was incredibly painful. I was so excited too about monday as it is typically massage day. Noooooo. My massage therapist took ill. So I had to foam roll. which helped but it is not the same. Had …
