2013: They call me "HILDEBEAST"....

January 19

So I was a good girl, set my alarm for 3:45 to be sure I had plenty of time to meet Anne at the pool on time.  Got up, left at a good time, then hit a huge detour on the way down, but managed to arrive at the same time as Anne.  As we go into the building we see a sign, "Pool closed due to diarrhea"... WTF????  It's 5:25 a.m. and no place to swim and I didn't have any other workout clothes.  AND I have a girlfriend dinner tonight which means no afternoon run, so an unintended rest day for me today.  Damn, damn, damn, I REALLY wanted to get in 3 swims this week!  In any case, I went into the locker room and showered and got to school around 6:15, how fun... NOT!

Ummm yeah, this was supposed to be a speedwork day, 1/4 mile intervals. I knew that wasn't gonna happen, so just got out there and ran, worked on keeping the HR down, and it is better! Got the miles in, pace is what it is. I'm not fretting too much, since I've added the bike back into the mix, I think it's to be expected, but hope to see some gains soon!

Cold front came through around noon yesterday.... brrrrrr, down to about 30, wind chill 23 this morning, glad it was a swim morning and not a run morning!  Run is scheduled for this afternoon, temps should be in the 50's.  We are back up in the 70's by tomorrow, calling for 77 on Friday!  CRAZY weather!

Ugh. Warm and muggy, felt like a run in May! Ran in shorts and a Tshirt and was still too hot. Had to take quite a few walk breaks, just didn't have it today, and by contrast tomorrow morning is supposed to be 29!

Did a little extra spinning to get mileage to 13.0 miles. Felt a teensy bit easier than last week, I was able to do about 10 seconds of the standing drills and felt a little better on the super cadence sets... totally forgot to put on the HR monitor.

I don't know if it's because I had 2 cups of coffee before I went instead of the usual one cup, but this was a great swim! Happy with the 500! Was tired by the 50's though, so need to keep building that endurance. I went during "Senior Swim", yes I am technically a senior, and when I got out there was this old man who introduced himself to me and told me what a good swimmer I am... and he's the guy the swim center is named after! Nice ego boost!

Aaaaah, good long run! Took it nice and easy, HR was still a teeny bit higher than I would have liked, but still manageable. Had one walk break during mile 5 to take a Gu and water and zip the sleeves off my jacket. GORGEOUS morning for a run!

Suckage, pure suckage. I have NO idea why my HR is so high, must be the diet or something. Walked a couple of times to try and bring it down and soon as I started again, up it went. Funny thing is that I CAN run with it that high?! Stopped at Kati's house when I saw her hubby wasn't home, spent about 20 minutes there and then ran the last 2/3 of mile home. Twas a nice cool sunny morning though! Felt good to be outside.
