Headed to the Y this morning to swim, but was really wondering if George was going to show up with the latest temperature readings from the pond. George did not disappoint and said the water was 64 degrees on Sunday afternoon. That is plenty warm enough to swim, a bit surprising though I really would…
Disqualified!!!!
Today instead of the normal long ride our training program called for doing an Olympic distance triathlon. It’s a little early in the season for doing those in this area so we just did a 23 mile bike followed by a 6 mile run. Well, I guess the run was supposed to be longer but I…
Good swim morning
The Y was pretty empty at the start of the swim so I had about 1500 yards in before we started the workout. Then we did a few sets and another young woman showed up who is very fast. She really upped the intensity of the workout adding probably another 900 yards at the end…
CompuTrainer – Long Intervals
I just realized this morning that I forgot to post yesterdays workout. It was another CompuTrainer workout with long intervals. It is getting kind of warm in the garage, I may have to take these Tuesday and Thursday morning rides outside soon if it gets much warmer. Weight: 165.5
Finally a long run
I have been planning to make wednesday my long run day, but up until today it just hasn’t happened for one reason or another. Today though, I made was able to get 10 miles in. I think if I’m going to go longer than that I will have to have Gatorade or something at the…
CompuTrainer Tuesday
Another Tuesday and another day of Interval training on the CompuTrainer. It really feels like doing a series of hills outside. Weight: 165.5
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…
