feeling the groove

last night i was fully committed to skipping the gym but by morning i had totally forgotten that i was going to sleep in and was up and at the gym before i knew what was going on...had a good session of my standard weight routine...felt good since i haven't done it in a while...it looks like my training schedule is going to give me one gym day a week...i hope that is enough...there is plenty of core in my life so that should help...

got j off to work...and was back into cleaning mode...cleaned the oven with out serious chemicals or a self clean setting...oh yeah...i think that is the first time i did that in a year...eww...anyway there was a lot of other stuff to do so i only spent a couple hours on that project... ;)

the high was going to be 100 so i was hydrating for the track workout at 6pm...but i don't think i got there...we did an 8 minute warm-up...drills...strides...then the main set was called 3-2-1 starting with 3m at 1/2 marathon pace...2 minutes rest....3m @ 10k...2 minutes rest...3m @5k 2minutes rest...then 2m @10k,2 m5k, 2mfast, and last was 1m5k 1mfast 1m really fast...all with 2 minutes rest between...i felt fine until the 2mfast...then felt a little nausea...but was able to finish strong...i had ~2 liters of water through the day one plain one with nuun and i had brought a ~20 oz bottle with electrolytes and a 1 l of water...guess my pre-workout snack wasn't the best either...so stuck with water for the last two laps...straights and curves but it was a variation...backwards on the straights....forward on the curves...tummy didn't want the recovery drink so i stuck with water...and went home to ice bath and eat dinner...

soba noodles with grilled chicken and farm veggies with cilantro and basil all topped with peanut sauce...yum...i had started a batch of pea sprouts but they were not ready...i'm guessing they will be in a few days...they take longer than my spicy sprout mix...good workouts...will try to hydrate more...
