All Day

Hey,

I took the day off today and it was wonderful - I spent all day outside in the sunshine. I went out for and run with my friend Julia this morning (and Rexy too:).

We then went to the dog park where we played for about 2 hours - and then went to meet up with another friend for a walk along the river. Needless to say that Rexy is tired! Which does not happen often.

Other than that training has been going as per usual - the same old swim, bike, run routine. I am really enjoying the MAP intervals on the bike. I can slowly feel my endurance building again. Swimming is taking me a little longer to get ahold on, but I am getting there.

That's about all for me. Happy training my friends!

Please warm up...just a little

Hey!

Holy crap it has been a cold run over the last few weeks. It has been super chilly and I would like it to warm up just a bit and I am just talking like 5 degrees warmer. I would love for it to be around -15 tonight when I go for my run. Last week I was soooo cold when I got back from running. It was not very fun. It is March and I would like some milder weather...hopefully mother nature will listen to me :)

In other news I would like to run the Calgary Police half marathon, but in my typical style I was too late and the race is full. I know people can sell their spots, but where do you find these people who want to sell their spots? Anyone know?

I have also started MAP (max aerobic power) intervals on the bike. I love these. They are a good old fashion ass kicking and you can feel during and after the workout that you are workin hard and will reap the benefits.

Swimming, is well, swimming. Not much has changed on that front. My cramping in my feet and calves has come back with a vengeance. I ended up doing a lot of pull on Monday and I was STILL cramping. Blah.

Anyway, back to work!

Happy Training :)
