Mon 4/30: swim 3000
yards, TRX. First swim since July (and the day of my bike accident
too). I didn’t have a planned workout,
but just some random shit in my head. Freestyle felt ok (my lats hurt), but
everything else felt uncomfortable and awkward. I think my hips went out of
place while doing breastroke. Well, who cares…I only have to swim 2.4 miles of
freestyle anyways! I paid 5 bucks to swim close to my house, so had to stay in
the pool even though I was ready to get out at around 2200 yards. Did some TRX
exercises and stretches before bed.
Tues 5/1: 65min
interval bike on the trainer, 6.2 run (53 min), stretch. I actually woke up
at 5am to do the bike. I cannot believe I got myself to get up. I kind of had to in order to split the
workout for today and do run club with some friends after work. Was supposed to be a brick but whatever. I actually prefer to run after biking, so
guess I don’t need to get that used to it. I was supposed to do 20 min of
running but ended up doing a fast hilly fun 10k with Marc instead. I’m bad at
plans.
Wed 5/2: happy birthday Mom! The big 66. She doesn’t look it
one bit. 39 for life, right? Did a more than expected route (28 miles, 1 hour 50 min…darn city
riding sucks) following doctor Systrom up to Woburn/Winchester then down
through Arlington. City riding is rough,
but once you are out it’s great.
Thursday 5/3: 2300
yard swim. Got a free 30 day
membership to a gym with a pool. So I swam. It was weird and the jets kept pushing me awkwardly. That’s all about
that.
Friday 5/4: designated OFF DAY!
Saturday 5/5: 45 mile
bike (2 hours 40 min), 2.2 mile run (20 min). run was easy did that in the
morning (had time). Then met up with Dr. Waxman and
chased him for 45 miles….wow legs are toast. Nice ride to Medfield though…gotta
love open roads!
Sunday 5/6: 7.1 mile
run (1 hour 5 min), TRX. I went out the night before for the sending off of
Lora and Erin (sadface) to PA school. None the less, I ran hungover. I like to
think it’s good race day preparation…you just got to get through it. Kept it in HR zone 2 best I could…considering.
I ran by a fried dough stand (twice…there was a walk for hunger going on) and I
almost threw up both times. Not to mention almost ran into a ton of walkers.
After 3 miles I found my rhythm and it was fine….dehydrated yes. Sore yes.
Worth the tequila? YES!
Weekly Totals: 5300 yard swim, 90 mile bike (5 hours 35 min), 15.3 mile run (2 hours 17 min), TRX x3
Looking forward to another good week...and a goodbye Erin bike ride :(
