KSH--I'll skip a workout here or there too. I wish I was up to riding 64 miles already!

Easy 5 miles on the trails this afternoon. Storm blowing in but it's warm, so it felt good to get blown all around.
OK, I'll play:
Monday: weight training and easy run
Tuesday: Day Off! (it's supposed to snow)
Wednesday: run and probably weight training
Thursday: sit on a plane all day! :mad:
Friday: sit in a conference all day and evening thinking about how nice it would be to run instead of talk about superior internal customer service blah blah blah! :mad:
Saturday: sit in a conference all morning and afternoon then a plane all evening! :mad:
Sunday: run on the beach in Cali! :D
Monday: repeat Sunday! :D
Tuesday: repeat Sunday! :D
Wednesday: sit on a plane all day! :mad:
Hum.
I'm six weeks away from my first official half-marathon now (although I've run the distance before). As the weather gets better and better I have more motivation to cycle and less to run. Let's come up with a plan for the week so I have something to be accountable for.
TODAY
Relaxed bike ride to rest.
TUESDAY - 27
7am: Run 7km.
WEDNESDAY - 28
Swim 1000m or rest.
THURSDAY - 29
Will depend on the weather. Either easy 30 min run or bike ride.
FRIDAY - 30
Run some speedwork, 45min.
SATURDAY 31
Long bike ride (3h)
SUNDAY 1st
Long run (1h30)
We'll see...
OK..I will play too...
Monday-rest
Tuesday-lift weights, swim intervals hard
Wed-trail run intervals hard, 1.5 hours mt biking
Thursday-recovery run, lift weights
Friday-rest or easy ride
Saturday-long easy swim, long slow trail run
Sunday-sufferfest mt bike ride, probably 2-3 hours
I may move my Saturday run to a post sufferfest brick. Next week is an easy week....yea!
yep, I can have two rest days if I want them cuz I be "older" he he he....turn 45 and you can have two rest days too.....
5m 5.00 miles 11m /mile
2.50 Mile Run from House - Climb: 85.00 feet
Ran my loop from my apartment after work.
This was a good run for me. I felt strong and the side cramp stayed at bay! It started to rear it's ugly head towards the end, but I kept it off.
Otherwise, my legs felt pretty good. I made sure to Bio-Freeze them before the run!
What's that biofreeze thing, KSH??
Whatever it is, I could have used it on my run today. I was more tired than I thought from the bike rides (hadn't ridden much in a while), it felt like I was funning in jell-o, my legs were just not responsive. "There are no legs at the number you have dialed. Please try again..." was all I got for a response when I tried to run faster.
Oh well, I still went for a little over 45 minutes on nice trails on a gorgeous afternoon in Vancouver. There's worse lives than mine!!
I'll say. Funning in jello sounds like a good time.Quote:

I think I might try funning in jello later this week.
It's kind of like a icy-hot gel that you put on painful areas. It seems better than icy-hot though. You can only get it from a chiro, or a Dr. or something. Maybe? I know I haven't found it in stores.Quote:

45 minutes is a great run though! I got to run for 55 minutes next to traffic and fumes... so you certainly do have a nice life :D
I get confused from alternating between French and English keyboards! (Not that the j and f change place though, but maybe it's my left and right brains that are mixed up??)Quote:

:cool:
Actually the legs were rock hard (not like raw meat, unfortunately), only the air around them was jello!!!Quote:

Ok I'll stop goofing around. But why do I have a craving for jello now? I haven't had jello in years and never cared for it. Oh well. I'll have some V8 instead for now.
Forgot to update yesterday. Ended up running a total of just over 6 miles. The first two miles were really spent calibrating the footpod for my new Polar SD200. Once that was done I set off again on a run, the combination of beautiful spring day and new toy meant I did another 4.5 miles at 8.27mm average. The reason its so fast is that there is a pace setting on my new watch and I was playing! Legs felt good by the end and they felt good when on the climbing wall last night as well and they feel fine this morning. So I am almost up to running for an hour again already which puts me in a bit of a quandary - I need to find an event to train for otherwise I'll get bored. I'm struggling to find a 10K that isn't in the next two weeks! I need to have a good search then plan some running. My week is currently panning out as follows:
Monday: Day off (work and training) loads of gardening
Tuesday: 6 mile run lunchtime and climbing PM
Wednesday: PM 2 hour MTB ride (start in daylight :D )
Thursday: 5 mile run with short fartleks lunchtime, yoga class pm
Friday: 5 mile easy run lunchtime, sports massage PM :eek:
Saturday: Rest (more house type work)
Sunday: MTB ride (3 hour min)
My winter commuter is currently broken and my road bike not ready yet so no commuting to work for me this week :( . Next week will be similar but I'll hopefully get to ride in one day and increase one of the five milers to 6 then the week after I will back off, lets see if I can.
