easy run from home. HR was totally jacked in the beginning of the run. :( Wish the garmin would get it together!

Nice run from home. Switched out the workouts though...no way can I do vo2max today. Didn't drink enough water today and almost had serious calf cramps last night. Major twinges but didn't happen. Have a trip to AA too to see Miss Kaity perform...didn't want to press my luck on leg cramps! :)

Well...how long does it take Trish and Kate to swim 2100 meters? 3 hours. 1 in the locker room, .5 hour on the pool deck (long enough for the whippersnapper lifeguard to tease us about not swimming lol) 55 minutes to swim and another .5 hour to bubble tub and clean up. LMAO! That girl is a hoot! We really really really didn't want to swim. Really. But at long last, we did and gave a good hard effort once we got started. Seriously. Sometimes you just can't get it done with out your friends to shove you along!

The bike tonight was TOUGH! Gahh! Got it done, but my math was bad and I though we were done with the threshold sets when we had one left. :( Then the last build set you know will just blow come threshold and vo2max. It didn't disappoint. It blew. BUT...I got it done, in all the zones prescribed and beat Pat till the last bit of active recovery, when he was pushing tempo to catch me. Lol. That boy cracks me up!

on the drainer watching Raiders of the Lost Ark

No motivation what so ever today. Its been a long time since I've woken up a tad polluted from drinking the night before! Ate carbs all morning, made cookies in the late afternoon and ate those and finally got some veggies in at dinner. I was supposed to ride easy for 1:15, but feel pretty amazed that I got the 45 minutes in before heading to Jo's for our Sunday night date. And more wine. Such a bum today!

Beat Pat...YAY bragging rights for the year! Did not get 3rd female like I'd hoped (would have been a little cash in it). Got beat by Jules on the bike and run. :( She and Eric are the new power couple lol!

Good time at the store afterwards with my teammates, infinite folks, the product reps and customers. I managed to NOT make a purchase, which is quite the miracle!

easy peasy run all ar

Legs were tired, but my fanny hurts the most. From lifting I'm guessing. Glad today was not a heavy day! Tomorrow is the Inside-Out Du at Fraser. It's gonna be a cold one, but should be fun. I'm looking forward to hanging around the shop with my teammates afterwards and talking to the product reps. Hopefully some BT'rs will be out to the shop too! :) I have no idea what treasure I'm bringing home, but I'm sure I'll find something at the sale. :) Yay!

hilly fartlek run...no fartlek though. Unless slowing down counts.

Thank goodness Trixie met me or I might still be out at Kensington running! My legs were dead, my head wasn't in it and it was flippin' cold and windy out today! Trixie kept me trucking and entertained the whole way. She is the bestest! :) Thank heavens for running buddies! :) We grabbed lunch afterwards, and then I hit the outlet mall in Howell. Picked up some cute jeans and a compression underarmour top in ...green. Lol.

Tomorrow a 2.5 ride and a quick easy 30 minute run. Oy.
