Week of 2-9-11

Wed.
Masters swim- The whole set was breast stroke. Ugh. We did a good warm up and then lots of 50s and 100s. My lane mates were choosing to do a lot of fly so I followed along putting in some good efforts of free. In the end I did a 400 build by 100s just to add a little more. Good swim. I was tired afterwards. Changed and went and did core for 30 minutes.

Thursday- Ran after work and before the meeting. The 10 minute effort was challenging but in a good way. It felt nice to get outside.

Friday-Ran at lunch. Easy. Went over to Cooper Park and back. Rode the rollers after work for an hour.

Sat.-Did the ride. Felt a little more tired during the ride than the previous weeks. The 45 min effort was harder than the 20 minutes a week before.
Swim- felt better on the swim than the week before. Actually had some umph. Broke up the 1500 by doing a little pulling and some builds.

Sun. - 2 hour run in Laurel. Fought the wind and took a little trip down memory lane. It was kind of sad. But Grandma is doing good and that is what counts.

Monday- Did core and then went to Masters swim. Moved down a lane to have a mellower pace. We did the whole workout very quickly. Finished with a 300 breath 3 and 5 by 50s.

Tuesday
Easy run outside went over to the trails and ran for 45 minutes.
Ride: Was a little worried about this ride since you told me it was going to be hard. Got myself all psyched up for it. I like it better when you say. Just a good solid ride and then you are done! (talking to coach here) The 20 one minute intervals got hard by the end. Then the last 20 minutes was very hard. My back was so tired from trying not to fall off the rollers. I have been riding my TT bike, but might use my road bike on the rollers just to have some more position options.
