Training Log

Still felt a little tired from being sick but better as the day went on. Road the triathlon bike later in the afternoon and felt pretty good. 6 days of running starts tomorrow, mixed with cycling since the triathlon club challenge for January is cycling.

Swam 1 mile then ran mid-day - 60 degrees in Memphis today!  WoooHooo.  Happy New Year's Eve!

Strong headwind on sections of the run.  Chilly.  2 pm.  Rode 20 miles on the trainer before running and 5 miles after.  Legs felt a little sluggish at first on the run and was running into a very strong headwind.  Both factors worked themselves out as the run progressed, so felt pretty good by the last 2-3 miles. Happy New Year!

Moderate pace...not fast.   It is about 20 degrees at 7 pm.  This is probably the coldest night of the winter season so far.  Tomorrow's high is 38. By Sunday, it will be 65 again.  Strange weather here in Memphis!

Got home late from work - it was cold all day today again.  Getting ready to run, my bed actually looked more inviting for a long winter's nap than going out in the cold after a long day.  Dressed with two top layers, a long-sleeve Nike sphere shirt base layer and the top layer a hooded sweatshirt, a knit hat under the hood, running shorts and running tights, knit gloves.  Ran slow miles - felt a little sluggish.  7pm.  Temp outside is 30 degrees but starting out, it felt colder than last night even though the temp was warmer.  Right quad feels like I pulled a muscle or somthing.  Probably from ride-run-ride on Tuesday.  Stretched really well afterward.

7 very slow miles.  Felt very tired - there's a vicious stomach bug going around and I felt a little queasy so hoping that is not the cause.  Temperature in the upper 40s felt warm compared to the last two nights.  : )  Happy Friday!

Started out feeling tired but felt good toward the end of the run.  Moderate, steady pace. I think this is the first week I've been able to do 7 miles for 6 days!  I'm really happy about it.
