View albumTomorrow's Performance Depends on Today's Recovery
October 30
October 29
- 1h 02m
- 3.64 miles
- 17m 01s /Mi
More Z4:Z3 intervals!!!
I could only hit a couple of the Z4s because the higher speed runs were too much for my adductors, and I did not want to risk pulling anything.

- Walking
- 40m
My legs, and core, can definitely feel the intense workouts and 5k race of this past week. This is a "good pain", the kind where you are really proud of your accomplishments.
Today, will be a gently-active recovery day. It looks as if it will be a sunny day, in the mid-50s. I will take Chelsea for a walk at the park, soak in some sun, and get some blood flowing to the tired muscles.
Then, watch some football, and time to continue working on the party preparations.

Gray Ghost 5k
Holy cow, this was an incredibly fast run for me, a PR, in fact (at least the fastest run in the past quarter century)

I felt like real hardcore biker today. Had on my leggings and my short sleeve bike jersey, with a short sleeve tech-T underneath, and a thermal cap under my helmet. No bundling up for this ride, baby.
Gorgeous ride, Zone 2.
I had to chuckle when I passed a house on the return trip... three HUGE turkeys were eating out of the bird feeder in the front yard!!
And, the school zone speed detector was working when I was riding on a flat area... very fun to see my speed listed (18 mph) in huge, neon numbers!

7:00 PM TEAM Weight Loss
More Z3-Z4 intervals... 10 of those puppies. For some reason, it wasn't as nasty tonight as it was on Wednesday night.
I can tell, however, that I need to give my adductors a break, as they are a bit tender after all of the intense running this week.
I am doing the dance of joy this morning... I have lost 3.8 pounds of fat this week. I have been listening to my body, and eating when I am truly hungry... which has resulted in a daily caloric intake around 2000 calories (I need to calculate this week's average).
My RMR has definitely been kicked into high gear and I will need to have it remeasured during the week when we have finished TEAM weight loss and moved on to TEAM fitness.
Yesterday, I ended up skipping swimming class, and pretty much relaxed for the evening. Around 3 in the afternoon I started to get really cranky and felt fairly tired. I decided to take today as a vacation day, and ended up getting almost 11 hours of sleep last night. I feel MUCH better this morning.
I will be spending a good part of the day scanning photos of my mom into the computer. The surprise 70th birthday party for her will be on November 10th (b-day is on the 18th), and I am putting together an electronic slide show with photos from over the years. Hunh, this also "required" me to finally get a printer/scanner/copier/fax for my computer.

October 25
I woke up at 3 AM, and was just ravenous. So, I drank an Ensure and tried to get back to sleep. I was wound up for about an hour, unable to sleep. I think I finally fell back to sleep around 4:15, and the alarm went off at 5:15... so I "snoozed" for about another 45 minutes. I feel much better rested.
My mind was going full speed because we are finalizing all of the plans for my mother's surprise 70th birthday in a couple of weeks. I had a lot of creative energy going on, so I actually feel as if I accomplished something, rather than missed out on a bit of sleep.
Tonight will be swimming class. I might throw my bike on the trainer prior to swimming just for some gentle Z1 work... we'll see how the body feels at 5 PM.

TEAM was absolutely BRUTAL tonight.
Most of us were ready to either puke or to pass out.
We did 10 sets of intervals:
2 mins Z4, 2 mins mid-Z3.
I'm not saying that I didn't like the class, I'm just saying that it kicked my azz.
