Run

07m 37s /Mi

After being sick this weekend (flu) i was tired and weak. My first day back from vacation and rainy weather. I'm glad i got to run, but i felt crappy.

Last week's workouts were great. I felt really great and being off from work, i had plenty of time and energy. I think I overdid it and really weakened myself. I got some bug saturday and was tired and vomitting. This carried over to Sunday and Monday. Today i was about 65%-75%. Trying to go easy and get food in me. Rebuilding this week

More speed wor at Pettit Ctr. Today was what i planned the other day 3x1/4, 3x1/2, 3x1/4 with 5 lap warm-up & cool-down. My legs were fairly tired. Understandably so, they've done alot this week. My warm-up was 10:22 and didn't feel all that bad. My left hamstring/glute is tight. Did 3 x 1/4 with 60 sec rest, then 3 x 1/2 with 95 sec rest and finally 3 x 1/4 with 60 sec. My cooldown was 10:32.

decent swim, i start out relaxed and time is fast, but later i work harder and time is slower. I got swim fins today and used them for a hundred after i was done with main set. my first experience with them ever.

Run after my swim. my legs were rubbery after swim and experiment with fins. Still after about 5 minutes, i got in good groove and kept pace jsut under 7:00/mile. At 5K, i decided to go 30:00 and i kicked up pace a bit for 5 minutes, then backed down to recover last 2 minutes. Nice workout today

I bought some swim fins today from Kiefer Store in Zion, IL. I've never used anything like them before so this is different. I will do some research to see what type of drills to do with them. Today, i kicked for 25 with kick board, then swam 50 freestyle, and finished a 25 kicking. My legs really need some help.

Bike

Rode out toward Sanders Park and Petryfing Spring area, went down HwyA and through Pets, then came back home via wood rd and ohio st.

56F NW winds 7mph very calm afternoon sunny

Some repeats/interval work at the Pettit Center. It's been a few years since i had been there for that and last year i did one session of 1/4's (6) at outodor track mid summer. I didn't do too much right now, its a matter of getting used to idea of running fast. My goal was to do 3x1/4 in under 85 3x1/2 under 300 and 3x1/4 in under 85 - I threw out the 3rd half for no apparent reason. I think i was comfortable with my quality today, so save something for the next workout.
