Getting back into the swing of things

March 7

Picked up some new tires last night, CO2 cartridges, a chip strap, and some tri shorts.  Unfortunately, when I looked up the specs on my bike, I misread them which lead to purchasing the wrong sized tires.  So embarrassing.  I'll just have to suck it up and return them on Friday and pick up the right size.

Would like to get a swim in tonight, but have my monthly girls night planned (I asked them to move it to Wednesdays for me so I could go to my spin class on Thursdays).  We'll see what happens.

Run
  • 50m
  • 3.75 miles
  • 13m 19s /Mi

Nice run with Annita on the treadmill. Much easier than it was in Santa Fe. The run there had me a little scared, but now I feel better. I was pretty tired though, even though I made it to bed by 10, it's still 2 hours shy of the sleep I would like to get. I need my sleep. :-D

My HR seems to averaging a little lower, of course it goes up when I have someone to talk to, but it didn't go up to 160 until 20 minutes into my run when Annita got there.

25m kick drill (would have done more, but a charlie horse was trying to rear it's ugly head)
300m cool down

It was a nice swim, hard, but nice, definitely a work out. I'll continue to do at least a little pace work at every session from now until Lonestar.

Doubt I'll make my workouts today.  Maybe when I get home I can get a little in after mass.

Bike

Rode on reclined stationary bike. I miss my bike. :-(

Run
  • 35m
  • 2.50 miles
  • 14m /Mi

Ran on treadmill. It was a lot harder. Don't know if it was the altitude or the time of day. I ran around 1pm, I had hoped to run in the morning, but we opted to have breakfast with family and enjoy a little bit of Santa Fe.

The wedding and reception were so beautiful and sooooo much fun.  Everyone danced the night away.  I even managed to get my hubby out there for a few songs.  yipee!  Congratulations to the happy couple, Alison and Adam Cunyus.  We're so happy for you two.

Coach Todd's spin class was pretty tough tonight. It is every night really, but I pushed myself even though at the start I felt tires. Seth treated me to nacho's afterward ;-)

Run
  • 52m 15s
  • 4.00 miles
  • 13m 03s /Mi

Ran with Annita on the treadmill. Warmed up for 25 minutes. Did some speed work, I ran 30 seconds at 5.5mph and 90 seconds at 4.5 for twenty minutes 10 times. Had a 5 minute cool down that I stretched a little over so I could hit the 4 mile marker ;-) woohoo! The run felt good, although I'm not sure about my new shoes, we'll see if I can adjust. I saw some other asics on sale at REI last week (my size) on sale, if they are still there, I might have to try them on
