Solid week.
Nuff' said.
Mon 7/2: TRX. I was actually kind of sore from my “recovery
weekend workouts”. For some reason that
doesn’t seem right. Haha. Oh, by the way…first day at my new full time
job J
fantastic.
Tues 7/3: 65 min bike (17 miles), 3 mile run (26
min), TRX. I have the luxury of coming into work when I please when I don’t
have patients. I have a new alarm clock
in my head that goes off early, so I figured why not get shit done before work? So, I got my ass up at 5am and busted out a
brick workout. It was nice coming home after work knowing I already did
that. But I was tired enough to pass out
early…
Wed 7/4: 4000 yard
swim, 6.5 mile bike (28 min), 60 min trainer ride (15 miles). Happy 4th of July!!! So, originally,
the masters swim workout was at 9am.
Then, due to other crap…it moved to 5 30 am. I had no real excuse not to go other than it
was early. So, I got myself up before
5am, biked in the rain to this workout, and actually enjoyed it. I really miss having a coached workout….and
someone to encourage you. I swam on the
same intervals as some couple in a few lanes over. So glad I signed up for Cambridge masters
team. I think my swimming is actually
going to start feeling ok soon. Then I
started drinking. Amuuuuurica!!
Thurs 7/5: 8.1 mile
run (1 hour 7 min), TRX. I definitely enjoy my interval run workouts the
most. I’m not just running slow and
steady…I am actually keeping a quick speed for a little bit. More or less this was 20 min warm up, 10 min accelerations,
then 6x 5 min 10 k pace odds and half marathon pace evens, then 10 min warm
down. I have no clue what my half
marathon pace is now but I did like 8 min pace-ish then 7 min-7 45 for 10k. I
ran around the Charles, which is always a good time. It was humid out…I was dying at the end
without water…but have to say one of the better run workouts again this year. Happy
running.
Friday 7/6: OFF! I went to Pour House for a few beers and
just relaxed. Also…ate sweet potato tots. Yummmm. The weekend is going to be intense…..
Saturday 7/6: 10.4
mile run (1 hour 36 min), 2500 yard swim, STRETCH. Wow. This
run down right sucked. My heart rate was
ridiculously higher than normal, so I spent a lot of the beginning trotting to
try to keep that hr reasonable. Then my legs just felt like cement blocks. Plus, it was muggy and humid out….the kind of
run where you lick your lips to taste nothing but salt. Strangely my last 3 miles I felt pretty good
and got out of whatever funk I was in.
But geez, it only took 7 miles to get there. Stretching necessary! Hammie a little angry. Skipped an optional bike due to feeling
beaten to the ground…
Sunday 7/7: 73 mile bike (4 hours 30 min), 3 mile run
(25 min). I turned down multiple “lets go out tonights” on sat night. Turned out to be a good decision (not to
mention I was half passed out by 9ish). best workout of the year so far, hands
down. I hydrated/ate much better on the bike, therefore that run wasn’t
terrible (actually It was good minus being HOT). Plus, I biked to another state and had a great
time (even flying solo). Longest bike ride ever! FUCK YA!!!!!!!!! I ate a whole entire trader
joes pizza after, then felt a little sick.
Hooray
So this looked better in person, but it's on top of the giant hill in Roslindale...you could see all of Boston!
Because I have no problem posting pics of my legs............well....they are 3 different colors now. HOTTTTT!
