Wow I’m really quite tired
So I did Swim/run/swim/run on tuesday. Wednesday I ran 4 miles. It did not go super well. To start with my garmin died mid run. Luckily it stopped working at mile 2.6 in a 4 mile run. It was an out and back. So to do the correct distance, all I had to do was …
Swim, Run, Swim, Run….
Back in the USA. I got home yesterday. As is expected and is only natural, I received an email last night with the rest of the weeks workouts. I was asleep. And decided after the alarm went off at 5, that I was tired. So around 7, I saw the email, and was like OHHHH. …
Rest Week
Of course a Rest WEEK, is not like a rest day. I’m still working out. Just very lightly. This came at a pretty good time, I was feeling tired out, and also still trying to heal up my left quad leg thing. The bad part is that the pool is closed for the week, …
Build weeks continue, in which I am saved by massage therapy
Soooo…my right hip has been getting TIGHT…..every day tighter and tighter like a wound up top. My Massage Therapist worked on it last week, and I guess he succeeded in getting it ok enough that I ran through the week, and weekend. This morning though, I really was not wanting to walk at all. I …
Soooo
I just got my training for this week. Holy Moley I thought last week was tough. Well. There may be some puking this week. But he did throw me a carrot in that next week apparently is rest week. Huh.
Last Rest day….
This was my last rest day. I almost totally bagged the workout. Something I don’t think I’ve ever done. It was a 1500 swim. This is a short workout. 20 mins tops. So why on earth would I bag this one? Well…. Our nice pool was closed this weekend for a HUGE swim meet. Several …
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 …
I’m an April fool!
Wow. So training. It’s become kind of regimented. This morning, April Fool’s Day…I awoke, looked at the workout, saw it was a Brick. Proceeded to post on Facebook- WITH ILLUSTRATION- “Happy Wednesday, full of Camels and Bricks!” Several people corrected me which I saw after the workout. I was first convinced it was Wednesday anyway….then …
Saturday return of the Brick
Last Saturday…I had to spend in a conference for work. I think it may have thrown my whole work week off actually when I think of this week. In addition, it POURED buckets of rain which is atypical for Florida. We have had an abnormally wet winter. Well. I can’t find any articles to back …
Coaching update.
I’ve been posting a ton lately, so folks I’m sorry. This is in part, because I’ve been injured and just hanging around a lot and thinking a lot, so a lot of gibberish comes out here. Today though was CRAZY. I went to swim/spin. I admit I wasn’t really in a super mood. It’s a …
