Today is going to be another challenge completely crappy (from a food and exercise standpoint). A good friend of my husband's died of breast cancer in November. Today is her birthday and there's a gathering in her honor tonight at her favorite restaurant. I hope that we'll get home in time for me to run tonight, but maybe not. I should have gotten up this morning and ran before work, but that would have required planning ahead. :-/

1530: Slim Fast High Protein bar
1630: FiberOne bar

Run Speed
Speed/Efficiency
20
20' run with 6x30" strides. These are best if done on a slight downhill on a dirt path. Warm up for at least 10' before the first stride. For your recovery, you can walk back to the starting point. Strides are quick bursts that are as fast as 5k pace.

(This was on a treadmill, not outside, and I didn't walk to recover; I just ran slower.)

Sport
  • Spinning Class
  • 25m

Second half of spin class

Today was supposed to be swim and run, but since my daughter called me just this morning from school to tell me that, oh, by the way, she has a choir concert tonight, I was in the high school auditorium during the 1.5 hours of available lap swim. So it was run and spin instead.

0715: wwheat toast, pb, apple butter (350)
0945: protein bar (150)
1230: leftover goulash (300?), yogurt (80)
1500: orange (60)
1715: carrot cake (400; gah! and this was the Cooking Light recipe!)
1930: 2 mozzerella sticks (200; yeah, I know; nice dinner)
2030: lettuce salad, carrots, cherry tomatoes, italian dressing (150); 5 reduced fat wheat thins (50?)

Est. total: 1740

Outside ride!! :)

Nice day today (although windy, again) so I layered up and went outside! I didn't want to get my freshly cleaned tri bike all muddy, though, so I broke out the old hybrid and took her for a spin. I think the tire pressure was down at about 20 psi from sitting so long. And I forgot that the computer on that bike doesn't work, so I don't know how far I went.

It was great to be outside and I was plenty warm enough except for my feet that got wet going through the many puddles.

Back home late this morning, then off to a piano recital. Then loads of laundry. And a bike ride in there somewhere.

March 10

Run
  • 43m 15s
  • 4.00 miles
  • 10m 48s /Mi

Nice outside run after the swim meet session. Sunny but a bit windy and *very* sloppy. Still much better than the treadmill though!

Strength
  • 50m

BodyPump

I really must quit with my pattern lately of going to BP once and then not again for a week-and-a-half. Ouch.

Travel (again!!) to Rochester today for another swim meet. Staying overnight and then home tomorrow.

March 9

Swim
  • 30m
  • 1749.78 yards
  • 01m 43s /100 yards

Well, that was relatively painful.

400m WU

6 x 50m on :15 rest
TT-4 x 200m on :30 rest
(3:16, 3:21, 3:19, 3:16)

100m CD

This was not a great day for TT of any kind, but I gave it a try anyway. Plan called for 7 x 200, but I just didn't have that much time.

The plan today is to hit the Y at lunch and see if I can remember how to swim...
