The rest of the week...
Thursday I took a day off...not sure I needed it, but I did anyway.
Friday I went 15 miles out of the 30 planned on my bike. Averaged 16 - 17 mph into a headwind.
Saturday........ 5.2 miles!!!!!! I'm so happy - the farthest I've run since the whole IT band incident. Felt pretty good the entire way. Pushing at the end was challenging, but good practice for the upcoming 5K.
Sunday disc golf = Walking.
Here's my loose plan for the upcoming week:
Monday - If I can get my tire to cooperate, group ride with the Monday night group.
Tuesday - track workout. Strength.
Wednesday - a.m. run
Thursday - group ride from Trek store?
Friday - easy 2 mile a.m. run. Strength.
Saturday - 0
Sunday - 5K at Idlewild!
This week I need to eat better. And do more strength dammit! 3 more weeks until Greece!!!!

Monday Night - Different Kind of Workout
Brick workout...
The first duathlon I want to do is the Tri for Joe May 29th. This kind of workout is essential. And it reminded me how hard, but fun, duathlons are. I am looking forward to it.
Run 1: 8:17 mile
Bike: 10 minutes, kind of easy with 2 x 1:00 pickups
Run 2: 8:32 mile
Bike: 10 minutes, harder - felt the burn
Run3: 8:28 mile
Fun!

The Weekend
Friday, nothing. Unless tossing the Frisbee around in the back yard counts. :) I did break a little sweat.
Saturday 3.1 run at the Girls on the Run 5K. With some speed sessions built in.
Sunday a horrible round of disc golf on a beautiful course that was fun to walk. And there was a lot of walking searching for discs or chasing down my horrible throws. Who knows how much we walked, but I bet it's farther than any of the recent courses we have played.

Wednesday and an Assessment
It was a pretty good day for exercise - the 3.3 mile run in the morning and then some decent kickball in the evening. Man, when you have a good game and score you actually get to run around the bases and stuff. Felt like some exercise!
I need to figure out something to do today. I wanted to run this morning but ended up working instead. But I don't see a reason that I couldn't go later. It's another beautiful day today. My legs this morning actually are a little bit sore from the sprinting during kickball, lol. So maybe a slow longer run is what I need.
I did my wall pushups this morning. I think the next step will be to do them at an angle on the dining room table edge or something. (Have you started doing any pushups Casey? That's not a wagging finger asking, just curious) I really need to do more strength stuff - I am just so mushy and it's really starting to bother me. I need to get going on the lifting and especially core stuff. Maybe I should set some sort of goal with it - like be able to do x amount of pushups or crunches or something. I don't know - it's a hard thing to try to predict. The only thing I keep thinking is the stronger I am the better I'll be able to run and do well in the duathlons I want to do this season.

Monday Bike Ride
33 miles, pretty easy. It was a slower pace than before.
The evening was beautiful. Couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. I need to start going out more than once a week. The thought of going that many miles solo is not fun though. Guess I'll resort to the ipod in one ear method cyclists sometimes do on the trail.

Wednesday 4/28/10 Exercise (Steph)
Ran 4 miles this morning with Casey. 4 MILES!!! Yaaaay!!!!!! 41:13. 10:18 pace.
This is the farthest I've ran since the whole IT band mishap, and I feel great! And this was after doing a track workout the night before! I would say I'm on my way to getting back into distance running and that makes me sooooo happy!
It was chilly and not humid at all. Big difference from our run on Saturday.
Kickball tonight...we'll see how the leggies feel then!
Oh, and 50 wall pushups. Haven't done them yet but I will for sure.

Tuesday Exercise 4/27/10 (Steph)
Track night:
1 mile warm up
5-7 x 100 (I lost track)
2 x 200
1 x 100
Jogged maybe another mile cool down.

Saturday 4/24/10 Exercise (Steph)
3.1 miles around the Gallowhood with Casey, Greg and Daryl - it was awesome.
9:34 pace. It was sunny. And hot. But it went by so quickly. I am so happy to have gone that pace. If I had been by myself, I know I would have faded away in the back half.
Then we played disc golf.
Unfortunately that's all I did this weekend. I definitely feel like I should have done more. Monday is looking to be rainy, so I don't think I'll be going on the group ride from the shop (though I am anxious for a redo after last week's ride). So I might try to Spinflix instead - it's been a long time since I've done that.
When are we running this week, Casey?
ZOMG 6 weeks till Greece!!! :)

Ran 3.2 miles with the best running company evarrr!!!
Didn't do much else during this past week. Hopefully this coming week will be better in the exercise front. Need to get on the bike.

Tuesday 4/13/10 Exercise (Steph)
Tuesday Track Day.
Warm up: 1 mile with Roman (10:00/mile pace)
Session: 10 x 100, 100 recovery (walk)
I did each of them around 21 - 22 seconds. The wind wasn't nearly as bad as last week. In fact, I believe it was a cross-breeze for both straights. The 9th 100 was rough. I began to feel the twinges of nausea after finishing and bent over to stop to catch my breath, lol. Note: my 100 "sprint" pace is Roman's 800 repeats pace. Bwaaaaahaahaahaa!
Cool down: 800 jog, 800 walk with Roman
I wasn't cooling down again, like last week. Couldn't carry on a conversation too well after the second lap. So I decided walking was better than running and we walked 2 laps.
Feel pretty good now. Felt good during, aside from the last two 100s. I can tell that my body gives up when I see the line, so I have to keep pushing past it.

Tuesday Exercise
Today I decided to take a run outside in the beautiful 70 degree weather. Again, I chose to run without my knee brace to try and continue to strengthen my knee. Today I ran 1.2 miles, walked .2, then finished with another 1 mile run. I didn't time it, but I wasn't pushing very hard either. I think my eyebrows may have gotten a bit sunburned. The sweat beads up there and catches the sun.
I ran clockwise this time, where I had been going counter clockwise before. The track has more steady uphill grades, and 1 steep short uphill. I think I like running uphill a bit more than running down hill. I never feel like I'm in control... I hold back where gravity could help me run faster, but it feels really clumsy. Oh well. My legs work, and my knee feels ok. I didn't even need to use my AK

Monday Exercise.
Monday is spinning day, and yesterday's class was pretty great. Monday's are generally difficult classes. I'm not sure if this is because I(we) are all out of shape from the weekends, or if she just pushes us harder. Yesterday was no exception. It was hard. But this time I really felt good in our "hard" Monday class. I pushed really hard to keep up in the speed work, and used a bit of extra resisance on our climbs. I must have been the chicken dip!

Friday 4/9/10 - Sunday 4/11/10 (Steph)
Not much on the workout front these past days, but they've been a fun past few days. The most activity I did was walking.
Friday afternoon- I walked as I shopped, does that count? ;)
Saturday- walked around leisurely at Keeneland Horse Race Track.
Sunday- walked around a disc golf park.
All very fun activities, and it was a beautiful, very enjoyable weekend.
Here's to a great week for both of us, Casey. Rock the spinning and run/walking and healthy eating!!!!!!!
