woke up tuesday wanting new legs and thankful that a swim workout was on the schedule...over to lost creek country club for practice starting at 5.45am...yeah...i love that we get up early just so we can get our first practice underway before the sun rises...the pool is a nice place to watch the sun rise...you should try it some time...
300 warm-up...then 8 x 150...1 and 2 swim with negative splits...3 and 4 pull and paddles negative splits...5 and 6 50 fast 50 controlled 50 fast....6 and 7 same but with pull and paddles...then there was more swimming...some technique and drills work for a total of 2700 ~1 hour w/o in the pool...
home and saw j off to work...worked on my mtn. bike a bit (she has been feeling left out) pumped the tires and ran errands...nice and easy...on the bike...just spinning...not any of that pushing big gears that i like to do on my mtn. bike...trying to get my legs feeling better...came home and did some yoga...a video i have where you can do the workout one of three ways...i went for the flexibility one...and just got some good movement...different movement into the legs...did the whole thing...and promptly fell asleep in the meditation part of the video...oops...guess i was relaxed :P
made chicken stock...to freeze or make some soup...i can't decide...and finished animal, vegetable miracle...this book rules!...it is exactly what i have wanted to do for so long...she and her family lived on what they grew and raised and what was grown and raised near where they lived...she talked a lot about bananas...i know that is going to be a hard one to give up...but they come from SO far away...not to mention all the other bad things about them...one step at a time...and about fruit in the winter...thankfully i live in a place where i can get fruit in the winter...i think i would cry without fruit in the winter...so eventually i would love to tackle this project...and hopefully have it not just be a project...but a lasting change...that is after i am done with school...
second practice was core/spin class...set my bike up on saturday after the new member's meeting so i knew i had a good spot for class...and that was nice...i came in and brought some stuff to clean my bike off...it was so dirty from the ride in the rain...was thinking about skipping core...but did it anyway...and i was hard and fun...spin was hard...my legs were burning a lot of the time...when we were doing the high resistance med-high cadence stuff...but felt better when we were doing the high cadence low resistance which thankfully was at the end...after i did some yoga poses drank my recovery and the legs felt good...strange how that works...
