This next week

Tuesday: Had a big day at work so did the workouts after. Left work at 4 to get home and get things done. Ran outside for 45 minutes or so and did the 6X90 second strides. We should actually talk about what you mean by strides? Felt good to run fast and tried to really think about my form. Wish I was a faster runner, where is all the effort going? Rode the trainer when I got home. Rode for 1:30 and put it in some harder gears to imitate hills. Did them variable from short harder ones to longer easier ones. Wed. Rode the TT bike for the first time outside. Wow that was fun!!! Kind of missed that I had an actual workout. Think it was ok. Had a really strong headwind on the uphill and rode uphill all the way out of town. Masters swim- felt really strong, but maybe Tony and Dan were slow. Dan is a big guy and if I get into his draft I can keep up with them. It was a fun workout with lots of 400s and 300s alternating some IM strokes. Thursday Snowing today, so wasn't to motivated to run, so drove over to trail. It was actually really beautiful out and had a really nice run. Watched a lof of mallards hanging out in the snow. Spring snow is so different from winter snow. Rode the rollers after work. Lisa and John invited us over for dins so didn't ride for much more than an hour. Am having a hard time staying motivated on the trainer. Actually my trainer broke and I have been borrowing Rich's. Don't like the way it works. Would rather ride the rollers. Friday Swim after work. Like spending the time doing drills. Good for my swimming. Sat. The weather was somewhat uncooperative. Decided not to risk it and went to Computrainer. Carrie, Lawrence, and Jeff L. were there which was nice. Did the 3X30 minute intervals and maybe another 20 minute one trying to finish out the ride. Brought 3 bottles of Accelerade with 360 calories each (one for each hour). These fulfilled me. Ran right after for ~20 minutes and other than an orange flavored burp my stomach was just fine. Going to stick with Accelerade for the time being. Nutrition cost me 9$ for that ride. Am trying to get RH to carry the stuff so I can get a discount on it. This is an expensive sport. The accelerade had the suggested amount of sodium that I needed so didn't supplement with anything else. Might get some nodoz for caffeine. Sun. Breakfast with Jenny and her friends. That was fun and lasted a while. Then went and ran. The first 3 4 minute tempo parts were good, but I was pretty tired for the last one. Tripped going down a curb early in the run and now my ankle is pretty sore. Hurts to take my foot out of the bike pedal. Debated about riding outside and decided to go with it. Sooooo glad I did. The sun came out and the ride ended up being really nice. Maybe a little harder than you wanted but it was sooo nice out. Got a massage within an hour of the ride. Matt really worked my neck and shoulders which needed it. Turns out some whiplash from when I was 18 might be causing my back to be so sore. Felt really good afterwards and on Monday. Maybe Sun night is the day to get the massage. Matt is great because he is so flexible. Monday Nice morning communte. Will go to swimming this evening. The sun is out, but probably not for long.
