Friday in the bag
Well Friday’s work out was really simple. 2000 swimming meters. And a weights workout. Sooo. The swim got done. It was slow and I didn’t love it. My Friday at work was amazingly intense. It was not necessarily bad, but it was intense. The morning was ok and then all of a sudden in the …
Friday Loose end
So UGH. Friday. I really hated work on Friday. There are too many issues going on at work and I feel I barely have a handle on anything. Everything I touch gets messier and messier, and at times I feel like I want to throttle my direct main supervisor, who is great at a distance, …
Monday’s workout.
Apparently on Sunday I start a REST and RECOVERY week. Today… is not Sunday. Today was Monday. It is a recovery day from the long run so I got to hop in the pool. No workout buddy today so…. this was what went on. I broke it into 3 sets of 1000 yards each. Whew. …
Friday Speed work and “furlough” day
So this morning, I did my Speed work in a cheating way. I did it on the Treadmill. I really started to hate speed work during my last Marathon training. I really really struggled with the Yasso 800’s. I think, truthfully, my fatigue showed up more in the Yasso workouts. They are tough ones. The …
Marathon Training Day 58
on the plan was a 20 minute cycle and a one mile run. I nixed the one mile run. The night before, I found myself waking up every 2-3 hours, and going back to sleep almost immediately…which is kind of one of the signs of overtraining. It more likely is a sign of JOB STRESS! …
Marathon Training Day 55
I had a great day today! It didn’t start out too good though. After Thursday, I realize that Bayshore is no longer my “A” race, but..it is still a race I am doing. I still want to do well. For me well is going to be about 4:45-4:50. I’m not looking for miracles. Anyway. I …
Marathon Training Day 39
What a Bizarre Day. The schedule said swim or spin 1 hour 20 minutes and do some weights. I was totally down with that. In the morning though, I was down with getting a bit more sleep. Yesterday I was the guest speaker at a collaborative meeting for Infection prevention in downtown Orlando, so I …
Marathon Training Day 37
Today called for 1 hr and 15 minute Swim or Cycle. I was stoked about last weeks miles, 102 total! This was fueled mostly by my not getting in the pool and instead cycling all my Pool or spin workouts. While the miles were great looking… I think swimming may be better for me for …
Marathon Training Day 23.
It is official, I am not really a get up and go kind of gal in the morning. I get up fine, but I admit it, I kind of like to have some time to walk the dog, drink a coffee or two and chill before getting going, or you know, talking to anyone. Since …
Marathon training Day 20
This day was a little nutty. I intended on getting up and doing the 1.5 hr cycle and a mile run and then going shoe shopping with my friend. Well. I got up, walked the dog and abruptly decided to go back to sleep.. So I met my pal and we went off and got …
30 weeks of Marathon training.
