3/9/11 to 3/15/11

Wed.
Ran during lunch. Felt good. Nice to be outside

PM- Masters swim- A Jordan workout. Lots of wall pushups, dolphin kick in the deep end, and sculling. My arms were pretty sore after this workout. Did core afterwards.

Thursday
A cold has come on. Feeling a little achy and my throat is a little sore. Wonder if I got it from Noah. Went to team trainer night and rode, just spun. Felt good to ride and drank lots of water.

Friday
Skipped out on the options and got a massage instead. Matt didn't work too hard because of the race and me being sick. Will go again next week.

Sat.
Race day- Not feeling 100%. Decided to just run at a good comfortable pace and not try and race. Susan had a cold too and some stomach problems so we ran together. It was a good solid run. We finished ~1:48. My results were all screwy but her pace was an 8:14. I will take that. The other thing was that I wanted to physically feel better that last year when I did this run. I definitely did! The inhaler is working.
We got drunk at the bar. It was a pretty fun afternoon. Drank lots of water and went to bed around 9pm.

Sun.
Beautiful day!! The Mules had a planned ride that I partook in. Took out the cross bike and did some dirt and pavement. Ride was about 3hours not including some of the stopping time. Tried to take it easy since my cold is still here.
PM- Ended up going to Masters swim instead of doing to swim workout. Couldn't get there early enough. The pool is though when I have a mildly sore throat. It makes it hurt worse. The workout was a long warmup some kicking and some fast 100s 50s and 25s. All free. Hope that was okay to deviate from the plan.

Monday
Still have a cold. I am thinking now that I need to take one of those easy weeks to get over this cold. Called in sick to work this morning. Probably tired from the big weekend and the cold. Will work this afternoon and see how I feel tonight for a swim. The gym closes at 7 so it will only be ~45 minutes.
