Rode with a tri training group and had a very leaisurely pace. It was fun to visit with other folks training for events and it actually felt really nice to be riding again.

Pretty pleased with my pace because this was a brick and the first time on my bike since last October.

Sport #1

Stretching

I worked in the yard from 11:00 until 5pm with one break for lunch. Lots of weeding so I got some good squatting in, my legs were so tired at the end of the day.

Joe's Run 5k

Sport #1

Stretching
10m

Stretched well before the 5k and my knee felt fine. My hamstrings were tight, but overall no real pain.

Sport #2

Walking
10m

Stretched well before the 5k and my knee felt fine. My hamstrings were tight, but overall no real pain.

Ran in Joe's Run this morning which was a 5k near my house that I had been on the committee to organize. Wasn't really thinking it would be a good run for me since I haven't been running too much and I just didn't really feel strong. We had close to 2,000 people run in the race and I came in 3rd in my age group. I think it was a particularly slow age group, but none the less I earned hardware.

RACE DAY: Run To Joe's

Tuesday - March 25

Run

30m
2.91 miles
10m 19s /Mi

This was a WINDY run. Yoblondie and I ran on the trail and it felt like I was pushing a 75 pound barrel up a hill. The gusts were crazy. My knee felt good on the run until the end. I stretched LOTS before running and I think this helped.

Strength

Sit ups, push ups and squats

Sport #1

Elliptical Training
10m

Sport #2

Stretching
10m

Sport #3

Walking
10m

Couldn't make myself get into the pool today as I had planned. I was running late in getting to the Y due to dealing with a tenant who had a leak and just decided to do the elipitical machine and see if I could stretch really well before my run with Yoblondie. The stretching helped and I didn't have the same pain in my knee on the run. It did hurt slightly after the run, but overall I was pleased.

Well we are home from Vail and I am trying to get back in the swing of things. We had a great trip, but I got sick and did not get to ski too much. It was still great hanging out with friends and relaxing. Now I feel like I have a million things to do and not enough time, plus I am feeling like I am way behind on tri training and I have an oly coming up in less than a month. I haven't been on my bike or in the pool for a long time. I am hoping to get motivated soon.

My left knee starting hurting a bit on the run and I could feel a bit of pain when skiing. I guess I am going to have to go back to my sports medicine guy to see what the deal is and I am not happy about it.
