Week of 2/23-3/1/11

Tuesday
Run- outisde and on a little loop that leads from work over the the trails and back. Did the 6x1 minute strides. The first one hurt, but the rest felt good. It felt good to try and really open up.
Rode at home doing the prescribed workout. Was soo happy it was on the trainer not on the rollers. The four minute efforts were pretty hard. I was definitely feeling it by the end of the workout. Ahh Tuesdays!!!

Wednesday
Masters swim
Tonight was a typical Jordan workout. We started with 200 SKIPS then moved on to lots of wall pushups and dolphin kick (vertical in the deep end and across the pool). We also did some sculling and lots of 100s. I finished it off with a few swim, pull, and kicks. This was a good core workout. The muscles around my ribcage are still a little tender days later.

Thursday
Met Susan at the gym at 730 to get in my run. I am going to do that more often. Feel like everyweek I have one slacker workout and this was probably it. Set a pretty slow pace on the treadmill and gave myself no incline for the entire run. Did the 2X1 mile tempos. Those were good. A little more than an 8 min. mile pace. Felt really good after the run. Wasn't tired.

Erik and I went to Team trainer night. He and I were the only ones to show up. I guess we could have stayed home. It was soooo cold that night and day. Probably the coldest I have ever felt it in Bozeman. The ride was good 1:30 on rollers. Peters little studio is pretty sweet!!

Friday
Ran on the treadmill at the gym for about 25 minutes. Didn't think I was going to get that run in. Very busy and early day at work. Meeting with the Tritons at 530.

Saturday
Lots of people at Computrainer. So funny. One guy is training for IM St George and lives in Clyde Park. He swims in the Best Western pool in Livingston. Said one of the first days the maintenance guy said it was the law to leave in the rope by the deep and so he was having to swim duck swim turn rather than swim swim swim turn. Anyway, should stop complaining about pool. At least I have one. Ride was good. I actually rode for 3hrs. The 4x10 minutes took me right to 3:45. Maybe did and extra one of the 10x everythings. I have to have a pen and make tick marks otherwise can't remember what I have done. The last 15 was very easy though.

Swim- went over to long course city pool and guess what? It was closed because of a maintenance problem. I feel so bad for people who really rely on that pool for whatever reason. Went up to MSu and thankfully it wasn't just rec swim but they also had lane lines in. I am not even bothering with the public pool anymore. The swim was good!!! I felt super strong. Did the 1800 continuous no problem. Practiced lots of flip turns. There must have been a youth group or something there. Got caught in the locker room with a bunch of teenagers. Had to wait forver for a shower. It was pretty funny though. Them all doing their hair etc.

Sunday
Am planning on getting out for a trail run today!! and hopefullyan outside bike ride!!!
