I picked up the training in the spin room this week. I have about 2 weeks before I start leaning toward tri season and 6 weeks before I need to start taking tri training seriously. I also ventured back out on the trails twice. All in all a great week and now back to the grind
Monday: Spin and brick run
Headed to the gym with Laney. I got in a quick warm-up, some stretching and headed to the spin room. Pushed myself through the class and 54 minutes later I was 15.9 miles deep (the new spin bikes are surprisingly accurate). Then a short stint on the treadmill and a few reps on the abductor machine.
Tuesday: Track w/ Ralph and Angel and lululemon
Since I'm not working this week I didn't really want to have to host afternoon track on Thursday, especially since most people are out of town and lights are questionable. I started out strong and then had to push through some stomach cramps...2x(4x800), 3:30, 3:32, 3:35, 3:33, 3:28, 3:32, 3:38, 3:35
Followed by a stretch and relax class at the gym and the grading of papers
Lululemon run: just put in 3 and picked up the pace more than I thought I would
10.14 miles total
Wednesday: Hike w/ Laney and Cameo
Headed to Mt. Diablo open space and went for a 3 mile hike with 6 impromptu hill repeats. A beautiful day on the mountain.
Thursday: Tempo Run
My tempo partner was out of town for the second week in a row so I mentally prepared myself for 4@tempo pace. After a 2 mile warm-up I cranked out 7:41 and 7:45 uphill and then 7:27 and 7:28 downhill
Friday: yoga
Didn't want to push my legs the day before my first trail half so I was a yogi for the day stretching it all out.
Saturday: Brazen New Years Eve Half
Woke up bright and early, beautiful but cold morning. I survived all 1,600ish ft of climbing and finished in 2:06:25, 5th in my AG. I was pretty proud of myself considering I haven't been trail running lately so I was a little scared about it.
14.21 total
Sunday: New Years Spin and Pilates
I thought about running the Brazen NYD half or 10k and I thought about getting up to cycle, but I chose to sleep in an hour and head to the gym with my favorite instructor. After a 1 mile warm-up on the treadmill I had my butt kicked! Cut out 5 mins. early to do a grueling ab workout at Pilates.
1 mile run/17.6 spin/ 1 hour pilates
