Run and Swim
Changed things up a little bit today. Instead of going and swimming at the Andover Y at 5:30 I went down to the Danvers Y early and did a quick 5 mile run before swimming. It’s hard to get a run in when I go to the Andover Y because I would have to get…
Swim and Bike (long and short)
Long day today, but a fun day. Started out with an easy 3000 in the pool. Just a straight forward swim alternating pulling and free every 500 yards. Just about 45 minutes to do the swim and felt pretty good. Then it was off to bike at 10am. Wasn’t really sure how far we were…
Long Time Short Run
Went for a short run with Julie today. She is still in recovery mode after her impressive Boston Marathon performance. Did a short 5 miles at a pretty easy pace to try and loosen up her legs. No rest for the weary! IMLP is only 94 days away! Weight: 164.25
Late day trainer ride
Decided to sleep in this morning and do my ride after work. I should have got up and did it in the morning. By the time I get home from work I never feel like doing anything like that, but I went and got it done. Felt pretty good really once I got warmed up…

Sunday Ride
This was just one of those rides…. Some rain, flat tire, dropped chain, wind, some more wind. Then it actually got better. We must have beeen riding into the wind for most of the ride, because once we got about 8 or 9 miles from getting back we were clicking off miles at a pace…
Friday Run and Saturday Ride
Yesterday afternoon the weather was so nice, I went out for a run, did just under 10 miles. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/79329108 The usual Sunday ride was moved up to this morning because we are expecting rain for tomorrow morning, may still go out tomorrow afternoon for another ride, depends on the weather. Very windy out there today,…
Conflicting water temp reports
You know it’s getting close to pond season when everyone shows up to the pool reporting the water temp. This morning there were reports of 45 degrees and 48 degrees. Still a little too chilly. It also seems like most of the pond swimmers are becoming more steady in the morning to get ready for pond…
More Long Intervals
Yep, just another Thursday morning on the CompuTrainer. Today was the same workout as last thursday. Two 20 minute intervals at 98% of FTP with 5 minutes of recovery. Heart rate ranged from 155-158 for the first one and from 157-163 for the second one. Each recovery my heart rate went back down to mid…
