02.17.2012 Finally Friday

Good morning!

4:15am:  60 mins/18 miles on the KK.  So glad it's Friday!  I need the weekend to catch up on all sorts of things that I've been too busy to do the last 2 weeks!

Good luck to any racers out there!

Kim! Zamboni! Bwah ha ha ha!

Short 45-min recovery run today. Probably 20-30 min with swim cords later.

Good luck!

As for myself, 30 minutes on the trainer this morning then maybe 3000 in the pool later.  Trainer time is called for by my plan, swim time is extra because I have some free time to kill.

Good luck!

Little over 3 mile run this morning...tripped and wiped out, but thankfully nothing more than some road rash and a tear in my glove.  Running with a group in the dark, just off the side an asphalt path on the gravel and up pops what I would best describe as a flag that they'd put in the corner of a soccer field (without the actual flag attached)...I think it's used to mark the edges of the path so they know where to plow when it snows.  It was a skinny flexible pole about waist high, but was anchored into the ground solidly and took me out.  Might have to make tomorrow's run a swim, I think my knee is going to bruise a swell a bit...overall I'm fine though.

Will try and fit in a 6 mile run at lunch today.

Have a great race Miles, I'm sure you'll do great!

Just about to do an easy 45 minute spin.   I'm actually a bit sore for last night's soccer game.  The running in it is quite different from distance training.  It's start,stop, jog, sprint, run forward, run backward, run sideways.... multiple times through out the game.  It's all the types of running that isn't distance running.     

Gonna do it again this evening. After all, reffing games have the potential to put a little excitement in my life.  I know, that's sad.........

Supposed to be almost 50 today here! In February!!!

Going to hit the road after work for a good 4 mile run, and I am so excited about it too!

Good luck!

Swam for an hour at a busy Ottawa suburb pool during the lunch hour. More than once I found myself slowing to a breaststroke behind the gentleman in the loose, loose swim trunks swimming elementary backstroke with no room to pass. Yikes!

4 mile run completely offset by a trip to the chinese buffet tonight while visiting the fam.
