Training Log

Ran the wagon trail down through Johnson Park and the Peterson Lake Road look the opposite direction.  Starting to feel stronger.  Thankfully.

Class tonight - no run.

Mountain bike about 7 miles or so on paved trails and my neighborhood.  Then ran 6.2 miles with Carbon the wonder dog.

Swam 1800 and ran 7 miles after getting home from the pool.  I feel triathlon fever coming on...

Rode 25 miles in the afternoon.  Felt pretty strong, and found a few hills to ride.  Ran 4 miles and stopped home to just change out of long pants but got caught up in helping with Jacob and didn't get back out to finish the last 3 miles. 

Rode 25 miles on the tri bike and actually felt pretty strong.  Ran 4 miles with Carbon, then dropped him off in the yard and ran 3 more.

Swam 2000 yds at the indoor pool around 5 pm. Had worked in the yard most of the day, cleaning out the shed, taking apart wooden shelves, lots of heavy lifting.  I guess that doesn't really count as aerobic exercise, but it sure tired me out!  Went to work after swimming to do planning and scheduling for this week.  Pretty busy day.  It feels like winter again - cold, grey, and windy,

Ran 7.27 on a new route at 6 pm, pretty fast to finish in time to take Carbon to agility class.  Windy and chilly.

6 pm rode 22.5 miles. Met up with several Tues night groups riding in c'ville area.  Felt a little slow during the ride and tired after the ride  Didn't run afterward. Will have to run tomorrow am to fit it in.

6 pm - peterson lake rd, poplar, in back of walmart and through surrey oaks, up the hill near by the high school.  Nice evening for a run.

I think I ran 7 miles today but forgot to record it.  Jacob left with his dad, Kevin, to go to Florida on vacation right after his T-ball practice, so I was a little distracted.  He'll be gone for a full week!

Felt very tired and a little sick at work in the afternoon so didn't run today.

Charles Finney Memphis Hightailers ride at 8 am.  Pretty cold starting out this morning but a really fun ride!  6 pm - ran 4 miles with Carbon.  3 miles on my own.

1800 yd swim around noon.  18.25 easy bike ride on tri bike 4 pm just to keep the legs going.

Congratulations to all who ran Boston today!

Quick 6.2 after work before taking Carbon to agility. 

8 miles with Carbon at 8:45 pm

Swam 1800 yd at the pool 6:20 a.m.

Ran 6.3 miles 7 p.m.  Feeling very tired.  Took a different route and it didn't turn out to be 7 miles as I had hoped.  Mapped it after the run.

Went to the podiatrist after work to find out about replacing my worn-out orthotics.  He said they are pretty old and have deteriorated, so he did the foot mold with cast material and ordered new ones. They should be in within a week and a half.  He's doing the bike portion of the Memphis in May Triathlon on a relay team and another triathlon later in the summer in upstate New York.  He's from the same area (Finger Lakes) in New York where my grandparents lived (and my uncle still lives).  Small world.

6 pm - 4 miles quickly before book club

7 pm - 7.27 route at an easy pace, then to sleep very early.   Jacob is back so we got to read stories before bed.

27-mile Gtown loop ride on tri bike in the afternoon.

7-mile run 7 pm.

Jacob's first t-ball game in the morning with picture and party day for all the players and their families.

6 pm - 2100 yd at the pool.  Still felt a little sluggish.  No run today.  Will try for a morning run tomorrow.

The morning run didn't happen - dropped Jacob off at day care 7:30.  Evening run did happen after work - 5:30 pm, 4 miles with Carbon, 3 miles with Luke.   Watched Jacob's tball game for a little while before taking Carbon to agility.  Whew - busy Monday!

5:30 a.m. - entered the lottery for the St. George Marathon with some trepidation.  I think it was Lybi that mentioned this was a good one for BQ.  What are the chances of getting in? The scenery looks gorgeous!

6 pm Bike World group ride - 28.5 mi.  There were only guys on the ride except me,  most of them probably 10 years younger than me or more.  They dropped me but did wait 3 times at the larger intersections for me. Was able to hammer with them for a short distance.  Good workout.

8:30 pm - 7 mile run, easy pace.

At work late and then had too many errands - didn't get home til 8:45 pm.  Went to bed early.
