1.17.15 Saturday Stuff!

Stew is in crock pot, now it's

140 minutes on KK trainer. 140 , that's a odd number you say...Paul and Wings Rock Show on Blu-Ray :0

Yes Kim, you are wierd for liking long trainer sessions ??

I had my long run this morning, 10 miles done!!

Finally managed a longer ride on the trainer, just shy of 2 hours. Sufferfest video and the effort was through the roof, I fully expect to waddle through my run tomorrow!

Easy day physically anyway....Meg's Memorial Run.

 She was a local woman who was training for Boston last January when she was struck by a drunk driver and killed.  A friend and I drove about an hour north to run in her home town with her family.  As I said, the physical part was easy....mentally I was in tears.  Her sweet young children, awesome husband and parents...his mother.  So glad I went.

Inspired by the above! Well done to you for attending and thoughts to those involved.
Down day today, just a core workout, before my long bike ride tomorrow.

wow, very inspiring and sad! Glad you could go to that celebration of her life!

I needed a break from the bike this weekend (but I do like longer trainer sessions too Kim - we are strange ;-).

8am - 80 min Hot Yoga Flow

3pm - 2300yd swim. Loving my 910xt so I can break down my sets. Just tried to stay relaxed and lots of drills!

I wouldn't quite use the word "enjoy" for bike training, but in my situation, trainer or road is really six of one, half dozen of the other. I often decide that I prefer the trainer over the industrial park, which is my only option for reasonably safe solo riding with a road/tri bike. At least on the trainer, one can watch videos (assuming Internet is normal, right now one can watch glitchy videos which look like doing Kona or riding in the Alps while drunk and legally blind.) For anything under two hours, def. the trainer, two hours about equal (depends on weather, etc.,) three hours and up, slight preference for outside....

Still not feeling that great (sore throat, hacking) but I feel okay when I work out unless I get under threshold effort (then I start wheezing) so carried on....

1:15 "long run" this AM.
40 minutes of lifting after
3000m of swimming this afternoon.'

Plus about an hour of working with the HS coach to learn shot, discus, and javelin so I can work with my elementary kids on them. Yikes! Used the HS girls' equipment but clearly I was am cut out for the throws (NEVER did anything but mile, two mile, and 4 X 800m relay in HS), even in youth track I don't think I ever did a jump, sprint, or throw). My arms are sore now!

Played with the new Garmin Swim in the pool with the kids!!

Ashley has gotten her 50m time down to 1:04 Should be breaking that 1 minute mark soon! :D

Er....edit to read NOT cut out for throwing events. Geez am I ever illiterate when I type on an I-pad!
