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. :-/

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.)
- Spinning Class
- 25m
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.

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

Outside run with the husband. He hasn't run a step in three months, but of course was still faster than me.
500m WU
10 x 100m
(1-3 on 1:50, 4-6 on 1:55, 7-10 on 2:00)
I couldn't keep track of all the splits, but I know the last one was 1:37.
100 CD
So, no workout last night. Again. Argh!
I was a good wife, though, and didn't say a word while at the bar (where I knew about two people, and couldn't relate to a single story they were telling during the 4 hours we were there, and had to sit next to a woman with the most obnoxious laugh in history), but I kept thinking to myself, "ok, if we leave soon, I can make it to the Y for a good run," and then "ok, if we leave right now, I could still squeeze in a short run," followed by "is 10:00 too late to run outside now that the Y is closed?" and finally, "ok, forget it." It was nice that the husband could catch up with all his old college pals for a while and celebrate the life of their friend. I only met her once about 2 years ago, but she was very nice. She would have been 43 yesterday.
Planning on a swim and run today.
