Afternoon -
I know this is a running blog, but today I had a big PR in my swimming. The workout I do the most is 1000 yards alternating 100 free and 100 breast. Over the past couple of weeks I have still been doing a 1000, but mixing up the strokes and effort a little. Here is today's results versus my previous best. (25 yard pool)

I know I am no Mark Spitz, or today its Michael Phelps, but I am still pleased with the improvement.
Airdyne - 6.2 miles - legs only, no arms - 20:49 - (3.1) 10:29 (6.2) 10:20
Evening -
4 miles - 30:25 - Splits: 8:17, 7:21, 7:18, 7:29 - 7:36 avg.
Started slow. Legs felt very heavy and tired. Tried to run faster middle 2 miles. Slowed a little on 4th mile. Quad pain has been the same since last week. It has not gotten worse with the increase in running.
Walked 30 min. with the family.
Needed to start getting ready for work and had forgotten push ups and crunches. So I did 25 of each. |
