Felt good...

Today's workouts:
LR: 60 min (10 ellip, 30 run, 20 ellip)
MS: 2,500 yds (58 min)
EB: 45 min on trainer

Today I did my long run part on ellip and actual running. Things went well. Swimming started off being a bit tired but got into it and wasn't bad. I have listed the time in hopes that I will be getting faster and faster. This time included the rest intervals. Tonight I rode the bike on the trainer inside since it was easy spinning, while I watched desperate housewives.
That's pretty much it for the day now I am going to make a spinach frittata for dinner and watch some tv :)

Long bike

Today's workout:

3:51min bike ride (about 67 miles).

Today I rode the frontage road up to Johnstown exit. It was a good ride going out but on the way back the lovely wind returned. Lots of in your face wind and some cross winds. The worse part of the ride was that I was starving and I hadn't planned on being out the full 4 hours because of the wind...but it was nice on the way out so I didn't feel like coming back. I was going to setup the trainer in the front for part of my ride, but being out was good, even with the wind. Anyway, since I was sooo hungry and had no food I was tempted to stop at Starbucks on my way through Longmont to get a scone. It sounded soo good..but I had no money and I wasn't sure they would take my cc number from my head without anything so I just kept going. When I got home I ate everything a person could find..smoothie with protein, half of a chipotle with some chips...then I napped a bit, went to the store and then had yogurt with kashi before practice. My new computer is awesome...keeps heart rate, speed etc...and keeps averages of those things as well. It also told me I burned 1700 calories on my bike today (no wonder I am starving).

One note to self is that on days that call for long bike and swimming (like today) I need to swim first because after the long bike I am too tired to go swimming...especially on practice days that are late nights.

Day from HELL!

Sunday I was in VA with a few players. We left to go to the airport in Norfolk. The flight was delayed and we were told we would miss our connection in Philly. We arrived in Philly and had 15 min to make it to our gate. We ran as fast as possible and made it..only to find out I had a ticket but no reservation, whatever that means..?? They wouldn't let us on the plane. Long story short we ran back and forth between usair and united trying to figure this out and it was (seriously) about a 5 min full speed run between the areas...we did this about 5 times and we were sweating. They wouldn't let me on the plane and everyone was so rude. We ended up being stuck in Philly overnight, but by the time we ate and watched Juno (trying to put us in a better mood) we had about 3 hrs of sleep before we had to go back to the airport for our long journey back home. It was about 7 hours of travel time.
Once we got back we were lucky to find our bags had just arrived on a different flight. Then we went to the car and our car wouldn't start. So, we had to find someone to jump the car for us...it was a long day.

When I got home I unpacked and went to the gym for:
Weights
45 min elliptical (didn't want to run after such a long flight)
90 min bike on trainer (at 10pm)

I had to take a nap after the gym and eat...then I did the bike. I guess this is the official start to Ironman Wisconsin training.

Lots to do.

I leave tomorrow for VA for basketball. So, today I had a lot to do. I had originally thought I was going to get a lot of working out done today...but that changed.
While I was getting ready to go to yoga, I got a call that my new bike computer was in. So, instead of going to yoga I decided it would be good to get the new computer on since I have a long ride on Monday and I don't get back until Sunday night. When I got there it took them about 1.5 hours to find the computer and put it on and adjust it...good lord. Then I went to the gym to lift and do an easy run. I was also suppose to do a swim but I didn't have time because I had lessons. Needless to say I didn't get much done and now I am debating getting up early to take yoga just so I have some workout before I leave in the morning and sit on a plane ALL day (we arrive at 700). We will see how I feel in the morning.

Todays workouts:
Easy run (20 min run, 10 min ellip)
Weights

TAX DAY

I have decided taxes are sooo ridiculous. You end up paying something like 25% of your income to taxes...and that is me..someone that doesn't make very much money. Being self-employed I guess since I wait to pay taxes at once it makes it seem really bad...ugh.

Today's workouts (very hot but windy outside today)
Long Cardio: 15 min ellip, 22 min run, 45 min ellip (82min)
Easy spin: on trainer in front yard (lol)..45min

Practice tonight...blah.

Nice day...

Today's workouts:
Weights
18 min run (don't laugh)
70 min bike

Very nice weather today. However, I got a late start to the biking so just went out for an hour. The new bike setup seems really nice...I was flying. However, it could be that today was the first day riding without wind.

This morning I went to orthotic guy and he did a computer gait analysis. He discovered that my left foot (bad leg side) still overpronated even with the addition of the orthotic. My right foot was perfectly balanced. So he added a lift on my left orthotic to help stop the pronation. Hopefully this will help with the leg pain.

Lazy

I decided to not really do much on Friday. Today I did 45 min on the elliptical. Again my hr was relatively low. They said that the race may have pushed my fitness level up so that could be why I now have a lower heart rate.

That's about it for the day and the end of a week.
