1st 2 sets of Spinervals 5.0. (Had wanted to do more, but I got the computer for the bike today and it took forever to install it and then, I can't really read it too well.)

Run

34m 30s
2.39 miles
14m 26s /Mi

Nice brisk morning. Did a 1:50/3:10 run/walk ratio. HR a little higher than I wanted, so I'll keep this ratio for Friday's run as well.

Swim

22m 27s
600.00 yards
03m 44s /100 yards

Managed to sneak off to the pool this afternoon. 200 kick, 200 pull, 200 swim.

Quite a "tri" day -- first time I've ever done all three sports in one day -- granted I ran at 5:00 this morning, did the swim at about 2:00 this afternoon, and finally got to the bike at about 9:30 this evening. Off to do some chores (yuck) and then to bed. Strength training will simply have to wait until tomorrow.

Day off. I was going to substitute a bike workout for the scheduled swim, but my legs (and myself) are too tired. Running in the AM mañana.

Did Spinervals 23 C since I was supposed to do an efficiency workout with a lot of high cadence work. My knees and ankles are feeling the biking -- tomorrow I'll either do the easy DVD, or just 30 mins. of pedaling while watching TV (since I have to substitute something for that swim workout that I can't make.)

Run

36m 34s
2.45 miles
14m 55s /Mi

Nice run this AM. 1:40/3:20 run/walk pace for 6 reps. HR during the runs stayed in the 130-150 range for the most part (Z3-4 for me). I probably hit that 160 trying to yank Shadow one of the times that she stopped to pee. If I'd let her, she'd love to stop every other block. :|

Got some unfortunate news today vis-a-vis my training - my friend who has been sharing the carpool with me for our girls has to put the carpool on hiatus for awhile. She's in the process of opening a new business, so her schedule is in limbo for awhile. So, there go the Tuesday swims. I guess that I'll try for Friday after school, Saturday, and then try to haul the whole family over there on Sundays until I can work something else out.

Spinervals 16.0 - aero base. I did most of the DVD; but my knees got kind of unhappy near the end, so I skipped the last interval set and then stopped about 7-8 mins. before the end.

Run

36m 06s
2.36 miles
15m 18s /Mi

Gentle run this morning -- managed to keep the HR out of the stratosphere. Did 6 reps of a 1:30/3:30 run/walk. The walk was ample recovery and I'm going to increase the run to 1:45 for Monday.
