Two good workouts...
Friday I was able to bail on work a bit early and get a run in. I was out in Woodbury and was able to create a new running route. You can check it out at Favoriterun.com. I ran for an hour, nice and easy. The weather was great, the sidewalks were a bit sloppy with snow. It was also a hilly route. Not the kind of hills that are short and steep, but longer hills with solid grades. Now keep in mind, I live in MN, so a hill is relative to me. At the end of the run I felt o.k. I could definitely feel the miles in my legs and I wish that was not the case, but heck I am getting my workouts in.
On Saturday, we packed most of the day, but I was able to get an hour on the bike trainer. I started out with a 20 minute warm-up and then went into a 5x90 strong aerobic set with 30 seconds off. I took a few minutes rest and then went into a 2x10 minute set. I backed off the gearing a bit so I could hold a good cadence. I then cooled down until the hour was up. Considering the run the day before, I was happy with the effort.
I was hoping to get a swim in on Sunday, but with packing and other obligations that did not happen. Instead I had a beer with dinner and made some Linguine with Clam sauce!
So in total I was able to get in a about 4 hours this past week. Not bad, but not my goal of getting to 5 hours. We will see what this coming week brings.
