12.29.11 Thursday's Training

Running today.  On the mill even though it's a beautiful clear day outside.    Ordered a trainer for my bike the other day.   Wish that it would get here.

Hmm, my upper body is a bit sore from that 3000 yr swim yesterday.  Let's see if I can even things out in my lower body today.     

Five miles for me on the coldest day of 2011 in Florida.

I wish I were a simple man but I was never blessed with that gift. I've

thought about it and analyzed how I could become one but in the end it was far to complicated to undertake.

I'm simply simple too. It's just my life that is so complicated ...

30min swim for me today and a 10min aquajog after. May or may not tack on some cycling later.

What a Great day.  We're in a bit of a warming trend here.  35 degrees this morning.  I just got back from a 6.2 mi. run and I only had to wear sweats and a long sleave.  Very liberating when your used to the 2-3 layers here in the winter. 

I'm visiting family outside Fredericton New Brunswick, and there's a new YMCA in town so I went with my husband to check it out. They were really sweet and waived the day pass fee, and the facility is fairly large and quite nice. Living in southern VT I usually have a swimming lane all to myself, but being in a city (a small one, at that) I got to finally experience swimming with 6 people to a lane. I got kicked in the head hard enough to startle me, and I swam pretty hard just because I felt the pressure to keep up in the "medium" speed lane. Can't wait to be back in quiet VT and swimming in a lonely pool that's got low chlorine.

Got in some ab work, some weights while on the bosu, and tried out this machine called "Jacob's Ladder" which was pretty challenging!

Definitely been pretty awesome temp wise around here.  I am hoping for an early/warm spring to get the water temps up early for some ows before IM CDA.

Swam 2,550m this morning.

Need to run 6mi after work.

It's supposed to be 67* here on Saturday - I can't wait to ditch the trainer and get outside!!!

9 mile run with the baby:

I haven't been able to run due to PF issues.  it's been 9 days since I last pounded the pavement.  So, did another hour on the spinning bike, just like yesterday, and the day before that.

Then my coach walks into the room and I ask him when I can run.  After telling him how it really doesn't hurt much, just a little achey, he said to try out a 10 min jog on the 'mill.  So YEAH! I got to run- even if it only was for 1.25mi. 

If it feels good tomorrow morning- I get to double it... although I'll probably do 3+, because I don't listen well.
