Back to running

Ran indoors due to lots of rain. 5 miles in 43 minutes and 18 seconds. Don't have splits in front of me, but I felt faster towards the end which is a good thing.

Home sick today

might not be working out today because I do not feel that good(no softball tonight either), but I did work out the past 2 days. Monday I did a BRICK (16 minutes on the spinner and then upstairs for 2 miles on the track). I transitioned in about 1.5 minutes which included wiping down the equpiment.

Yesterday I was in the pool. 36 lengths (0.5 miles) in 18:24. At this point I am not terribly concerned with what place I finish in or what time I finish in, but I want to finish the triathlon without stopping. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake. My bike is in the shop getting a tune up and I will have it back sometime this week so I can hit the road for a long ride this weekend while Em is in Cadillac.

Wow do my legs hurt

I don't know if it is from softball or my run yesterday, but my legs are killing me. It is a good thing that I am getting a massage with Em tomorrow. I had to do something today and didn't feel like going all the way to the gym and it was so nice out, so I had to run outside again. It was rough because of the humidity, the sore legs, and the not healthy lungs, but I went for 2.85 miles which puts me over 10 miles this week. I don't know if I've ever ran that much in one week. I ran it in 27:53 which put me at a pace of 9 minutes and 47 seconds. I felt like I was going faster, but I guess not. Massage tomorrow!!!

Finally getting back to form

I went for a run today and it felt pretty good. My lungs and legs started burning towards the end, plus my legs were a little sore from softball.

A total distance of 4.84 miles in a time of 41 minutes and 22 seconds. That worked towards a pace of 8 minutes and 32 seconds per mile. This would bring me in at 42 minutes and 44 seconds for my 5 mile race distance. We are down to crunch time!

spinning

Hopped on the spinning cycle on tuesday for a half hour. Then softball game yesterday.
