Another pretty solid week of training. I had an extra day off for Christmas, so that was pretty cool. Thanks coach! I have been able to avoid any major pains lately, but I do feel a little tight. I still need to work on stretching. It is tough to find the time when you work out for an hour or so, twice a day and then throw in 20 minutes of stretching too. It is way to important to ignore, so I have been trying to spend more time doing it at the gym. For some reason I have a hard time at home. For one I check my email and phone. If something comes up, stretching gets pushed back. My dog Reggie also causes a lack of stretching. Seriously. The minute I hit the floor, he is all over me. A 130lb Bull Mastiff can seriously get in the way and I don't have the heart to push him a way!
Swimming - Still steady Eddy. I swam a mile today at 36 minutes at the gym. Yes slow to some, but I really didn't push it at all. That is after doing hill repeats yesterday too. I gott get my legs higher in the water though. That will be something I work on the next couple of weeks. 36 Minutes in the pool should equate to a 30 minute swim at Mooseman. I could tell ya how I get that number, but I would have to kill ya...
Bike - I got outside for two rides and it was a mixed scenario. The first day it was around 26 degress and I was not happy. I did some hill climb repeats, so that was the highlight. I think I was only out for 46 minutes, should have been an hour. ( but I did ride for 10 minutes at the gym in the am before weights) Second ride was much better. Still getting used to the new aerobars, but gettting better. The head wind was nuts for the first half. I took me 25 minutes up and only 17 back. I kind of dropped the hammer on the way back and averaged around 28 mph. Scary fast, with a lot of help from the wind.
Run - Running is great. My legs are a little heavy, but once the engine starts, its all good. I go for a longer run next weekend, so I am interested to see how it goes. I haven't run more than 7 miles since the half marathon on Nov 9th. I should hit around 7.5 miles in that time. Not lighnting fast, but a nice steady pace.
Weights - My fatigue from weights is diminishing. I have a lowered the actual pounds on my legs to try and relieve the tightness. My upper body feels great. A little shloulder pain, but nothing too bad. Just tightness.
