Friday - January 14

Well, I ended up taking yesterday off to get over the head cold. Not much better today. I want to swim today...well, I NEED to swim today. We will see how that goes. Maybe by the end of the day, I will be better enough to swim without my head exploding.

Ironman Florida in...T - 295 days...?? hours....

Haven't decided on the workout today. Need to take a day off to get over this sinus cold, but I was not happy with the swim yesterday, so I don't feel like that should count as a workout day. If anything today, probably will get on the stationary bike for 30-45 minutes then do a legs/shoulder weight day.

Swim

30m
1000.00 yards

Wow! The time out fo the water killed me. Had no endurance in the pool, not to mention that this is a weird 35m pool, so the laps seemed extremely long. No set workout, just wanted to ease back into it. Did a few drills, a few 50s, and a few 100s. Couldn't do anymore as I couldn't breathe. The sinus congestion is lasting longer than usual. Maybe it will go away soon. Back in the pool again on Friday.

Fighting what we call the Key West Krud. Bit of a sinus cold that I get everytime that I come down here. Only lasts a day or two, then good to go from there. I am sure it has nothing to do with the alcohol intake or the lack of sleep with my daily routine. Up at 5:30, work till 5 pm, out with the boys for dinner, then to Duval Street and home by 1. And that is just the weekdays! You know, one day I am going to have to grow up!

Another weight workout today. I plan to do a short run tonight after work if I can. head cold kept me out of the pool yesterday, pool closed today, so swim workouts will come tomorrow........maybe.

Run

Ran around the island for my prescribed 60 min run. (Continued to walk around the island for another hour or so afterwards). Did not wear my HR monitor, wanted to go on feel. Ran easy trying to keep my HR low and did a slow 12 min/mile pace. Beautiful day 75 degrees and a nice breeze. Boy can the increase in temp make a difference from the cool running that I like so much. Don't get me wrong, I like cool running, but I will take this weather any day over 40 degrees.

CAVU day all the way! Not a cloud in the sky.
