Run
  • 42m
  • 4.50 miles
  • 09m 19s /Mi

After all of my knee issues, I decided to bump long run to Saturday and do short run today. Besides I didn't get to bed until 10 p.m. last night after our TriClub meeting! I got up on time but got to tinkering around while having coffee and was enjoying the relaxing morning so much that I talked myself into putting off my run.

So this was a lunch hour run from my office. Weather was wonderful and I felt good.

February 17

Swim
  • 45m
  • 1550.00 yards
  • -----

wu: 2 X 200
main: 1000 @ 22:20 (2:14 min/100 yds)
cd: 50 breast, 50 back, 50 Stingray!

Got to the Y at 5:30 a.m. and no lifeguard. He was a no show and did not call. The lady at the front desk was trying to call him and trying to find a substitute. Well, you know how "we" are. We do not like to waste a single minute of scheduled workout time. So I'm sitting there thinking do I:

a. Sit here idly and wait to see what happens with lifeguard.
b. Go upstairs and get on treadmill.
c. Drive over to HealthPlex to see if they have any open lanes.
d. Drive over to HealthPlex in time for morning spin class.
e. Chaulk it up as wasted workout time.

Finally the lifeguard calls and says he had car trouble and is on his way. Yea, I would have said the same thing had I OVERSLEPT! If it were truly car trouble, he would have called earlier. So I'm sitting there waiting for the lazy irresponsible lifeguard to show up when after 40 min, this young, sweet, clean-cut little fella wearing glasses comes in with a look of "oops, I screwed up" on his face. All I could think was, that poor little sweetheart; it's hard to be at work by 5:30 a.m.! Poor kid. I just wanted to pinch his cute little cheeks and say, "it's ok honey."

So my 5:30 a.m. swim started at 6:15, but I still managed to do what I had planned to do since today was a short day. I'm just so disappointed that my timed 1000 was not better. I am not making any headway. Very disappointed indeed.

Spin Class - Blah.

Run
  • 54m 28s
  • 6.00 miles
  • 09m 04s /Mi

Felt good to finally run again! Knee felt good up until the last 1/4 mile. I guess I was running faster than I thought because I intended for this to be closer to 10 min/mi. Took an ibuprofen and iced it a few min.

Sport
  • Yoga
  • 1h 00m

February 15

Swim

  • 2450.00 yards

Long swim
wu: 600 w/ bilateral practice
main: 1700 ladder down
Cd: 50 breast, 50 back, 50 stingray!

Felt good to get back into a routine after having down time. Butterfly Guy came and swam next to me. He butterflies back and forth like the Man from Atlantis churning the water like a washing machine. I think he actually enjoys it. But I sure don't; I get tossed around in his wake and water in my face!

Myrtle Beach has 3.5 inches of snow?!?  The Myrtle Beach Marathon/ Half Marathon has been canceled!  Oh wow, and we have some BTers there; all that training and travel and expense.  And there is a 63 mile bike leg tomorrow; I wonder if that will happen.

This is to be my first marathon next year.  Oh no, imagine all those people who were doing their first this year, or who were trying to Boston qualify.  I would be so crushed...
