ONE TOUGH WEEK

It's been awhile since I posted something...

Last Friday, I went for a run.. Run felt great, but after the i began feeling ill.. very achy with a headache/ Sat is when i got really bad, so I worked came home a went to bed.... I didn't do anything Sun, but take it easy.

Monday, I went out for 4 miler. For the most part felt great.  My chest started burning.. from cold.  So I didn't do anything Tues. wanted to rest.  Wednesday I began feeling better but i felt a knot in my calf.... WTH... will anything go wrong. I massaged it with massage stick, thumbs, and foam roller..  Oh Man did it hurt..  HURT LIKE Shit..

More Massaging Thurs...

Fri, i decided i need to do something.  I did a mile on the treadmill. No pain from calf, physically i felt great.. I had a tough time breathing, which sucked.. So afterwards i went to pool to get some laps in.  Cranked out maybe 800 meters. honest i felt good in the pool.. breathing was a little better than on the treadmill running.. probably because i only did 50's.

Ill post about wicked later.

Missed a couple log days....

Thursday
I went swimming, i actually had a really good swim.  I ended up swimming maybe a 1000 meters.. Breathing and rhythm were good, until i got tired and lactic burn overcame my shoulders.. But i still kept going.

Friday
First decent run since tues.. Last run i only did a mile.. It was extremely warm and humid.. It was like i was getting heat acclimated again.. So back to friday. All in all a great run. I felt really good. The temp was high 60s -low 70s.. I think i started out a little to fast.. Around mile 3, it got a little tough.

After the run, i felt like poop.. I was very achy, had the feel of getting sick.. The rest of my night was miserable..

As if this morning.. I have a runny nose and minor sore throat.. This may through a kink in my run plans for the weekend. Grrrrrrrrrrr

Temp feels running good.  

Aches

I had a minor collision yesterday playing basketball. Knee to knee contact with opponent.. Lil achy today but, it back to work tomorrow. Suppose to rain though, so chances are i will be inside doing something. Dreadmill, biking or swimming.. If i can wake up in time ill do too things.. Running is something that will happen tomorrow.. Just what else..  Hmmmmmmm..

Felt great...

Ahhhhh, the temp was great.. The wind was a bitch though.. Every corner i turned i was met by a good ole headwind...

But

Overall my run was great.. I felt strong and relaxed   active recovery was working like it should.. I had a couple time when i lost focus and HR got away from me..  I have to get some big mileage in soon.. I have an 8K on the 29th and a half marathon nov 13th.. So, i will need to get a big run this weekend.. I will try an 8 miler on sun eve.. Honestly i think i can do it with know real problem. I felt i could have done it today..

Cross training day..

Well yesterday i felt like i had been in an energy zapper.. I had a tough physic day.. Dont know why.. I thought i was coming down with something, but no.. I was gonna take the day off and get back to it on thurs..  But i thought about it more..  How about cross train and take thurs off.. I have to work at the gym.  So i probably would have to cut workout short because of timing..

I grabbed my booty and went to gym.. On my way to gym i couldnt figure out what to do..  I decided to swim for a half hour and pedal for a half hour..

The swim was like death as execpted.. I hadnt swam in a while.. Shit i havent swam consistently all year.. The fact that i attempted 30 mins was insane.. Opened with 200m. Then it morphed in to 50m with breaks.. I really need to get back into the pool..

The pedaling was easy.. 11 miles 30 mins on random hill, level 10.. I thought i was gonna tap out at 15 mins but i didnt.. Lots of hot distractions roaming the gym floor..

All in all work was good.. I really need to work on consistency in the pool and the bike, while building my run base for next season.. Looking forward to the challenge of ironman..

GET SOME!!!!!!!

A sucky run

I ran on tues, I didnt log it on here because I didnt have time.

The run sucked majorily.  I think im getting sick.. Im sounding a little stopped up.. This could be playing a factor with my sucky runs lately.. I dont have time to get sick.. So, of course I will continue to workouts.. Today (wednesday).. I will cross train.  Swim and bike or one or the other..

I have been getting some pains in my left side (lower back).. Not sure why.. It feels deep like a kidney pain.. I havent been drinking enough water.. So quiet possible that whats going on.. So, I will test it out..

All in all workout are going ok, but still a shit sandwich.. Achilles is feeling ok.. Weight is peeling off slowly.. Im happy..

This frickin weather

I went for a run today, thinking it would be a breeze.. MANNN, was i wrong...  1st mile was great.. physically i was strong...  2nd mile, everything changed... i was like i was running through molasses.. rhythm and breathing went to shit.. HR sky rocketed... I was like WTF!!!!.. 

So i stopped for a second to gather my thoughts get my HR down and do some yoga breaths.. all was well after about 20 secs..  so i took of again.. tried to cruise it worked for the most part.. but after a few minutes.. nature pace came back..   and i was gassed again.... DDAAAAMMMMMMNNNNNN it..

So i stopped again.. i was almost home by this time. so i sucked it up and run it in...

i remember while in my car.. the temp was 77 deg.. overcast.. with the threat of rain looming tomorrow.. so im sure this played a factor... this is only thing changed since fri.. there's no i can run 5.5 on fri, comfortable and easy.. and run 4  on mon, with death hanging over me..

back at it tomorrow..
