Dang!!! didn't even get the training posted and I get a nasty-gram from the coach chewing my butt for not doing the prescribed HR zone. OOPS!!!

Good for him, he is definitely gonna earn his money as I am going to be a tougher student than he expected!

Today is supposed to be my scheduled off-day, but since I am beginning another 12day straight work period (read...hell weeks), I think I will be better off working out today and not on Saturday.  I will have to rearrange my schedule to see what is instore today.  Probably a trainer ride or maybe a run.  Swim is tomorrow!

Reverse brick: Did run then bike.

On trainer maintaining 90-100RPM after the run.

Tried to do the prescribed workout by the coach, but can't go that slow!!! Just isn't going to happen. Was again running a 13 min/mile pace trying to keep my HR in the zone he wanted. Got frustrated with that and sped back up. I still felt like I was running too slow at a 10 min/mile pace.

I will run slow on my workouts, but I can't run slower than 10 min/mile and keep up the proper cadence.

Looks like I am going to have to do the scheduled bike workout on the trainer today.  Storming pretty good this morning.

Suprise Suprise...actually went out for a run on what should have been and off day.

My cousin and I went for a nice jog this morning. Probably closer to 9 min miles, but didn't bring a watch with me on this trip, so I will call it 10. Don't want to claim more miles than I actually ran.

Wasn't a scheduled coach's training for today, but I felt guilty for not getting in a workout yesterday. Didn't want to go two days in a row not working out, espcially with all the food that is around here.

Didn't workout today.  Got out of work earlier than planned, so decided to go on over today and meet the family for the holidays!

You have got to be kidding me!!! Coach wanted me to do 30 minutes in Z1 HR, but that had me damn near walking. This is going to be tough to swallow week after week. Gonna have to talk to my coach about this!

Good thing I am going to lift weights today. Guess I will take my frustrations out there.....and maybe feel like I had a workout today!!!
