Week In Review

100%, y'all!  100%!!!!  I did ALL of my workouts last week including two optional workouts.  Who the heck am I???

Swimming
I did three swims last week: one pretty long one and two shorter ones.  There was speed, there was a long set, there were drills, there was backstroke, and there were even flip turns. 

Totals: 5900 yards

Biking
There were also three bikes this week.  One was a cadence workout; one was a threshold workout; and one was "just" a spin.  My poor lady bits don't want to ride the bike for a few days.

Totals: 34.2 miles

Running
I don't know how many runs I did this week.  It felt like a lot.  There were shorter runs: one off the bike and one before and after a strength routine.  There was some speed work including a shorter speed set and a longer run with longer repeats.  And then there was the long run - 14.42 miles in shorts, outside!!!!

Totals: 30.42 miles

Strength
I even did all the strength workouts.  Seriously, who am I???  This week started with a new basic strength routine that was really challenging on my T-Rex arms.  I was sore for days.  Then there were two more short routines: one for the lower body and one for the core. 

Totals: 1 hour

Another big week is coming up.  I told Dave the other day that I didn't work this hard when I was training for Ironman.  The hours might have been longer but I certainly didn't challenge myself like I am now.  Dave said he has never seen me this dedicated.  I sure hope it pays off this year.

Week in Review

There's not much to report this week.  I was recovering from my marathon last Saturday and for me that basically meant doing nothing.  Here's a small rundown of the week.

Tuesday - 2.52 mile treadmill run before Anderson's swim lessons.  My left leg felt a little wonky but otherwise feeling okay.

Thursday - 2 mile walk on the treadmill sandwiched around some weight training - 3 rounds of 21 reps of deadlifts at 50 pounds and 7 burpees.

Friday - 2.22 mile walk pushing the stroller around the neighborhood.

Saturday - Busy Babes 10K.  You can read the race report here. 

Totals:

Run/Walk - 12.94 miles
Strength - 0.25 hours

Week in Review

Ugh!  I just didn't have the week I was hoping for.  The weather was terribly hot and my motivation was in the toilet.  We'll just call it a recovery week and move on to next week.

Monday
Planned: 2300 swim with lots of butterfly.
Actual: I'll excuse coach because she obviously had pregnancy brain when she wrote this workout.  I can't do butterfly and I certainly can't do a lot of it.  So, I hopped in the outside pool for the last time for the summer and did 2300 yards straight.

Tuesday
Planned: 40 minute run
Actual: It was crazy hot so I did this on the treadmill. 4.19 miles

Wednesday
Planned: 55 minute run with 10K pace intervals; 30 minute strength routine
Actual: Ran at the local hilly metropark and was hoping to do a longer run.  Only make it one loop and felt terrible.  5.6 miles, 51:26.

Thursday
Rest Day

Friday
Planned: 1 hour speed workout; back strength training
Actual: Nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  I suck.

Saturday
Planned: 45 minute easy run
Actual: So damn hot outside!!!  5.15 miles

Sunday
Planned: 10K walking "race"
Actual: New Albany 10K Walking Classic.  Race report coming tomorrow.

Totals:
Swimming - 2300 yards
Running (walking) - 21.14 miles
