spin-n-swim

morning brought spin class...starting just after 6am...i like this class...half asleep though the first set so i didn't seem that hard...but it got hard...fast...did a lot of high cadence work...with some big chain resistance stuff thrown in...and some threshold pushing too...very good workout...and got some quality TP rolling after...my legs were feeling tired from the track workout the night before...and was feeling a little something in the right hip flexor and hamstring...just a little twing but something that brought about my attention in the morning...

home to do house stuff and to the library to pick up barbra kingsolver's take on being a locavore...i like her writing...very readable...and an interesting project...one that i would love to tackle myself some day...and made some new york style crust pizza for dinner...

off to swim practice at lost creek...tonight was lightly attended by T3 folks...two lanes of swim clinic...then 3 lanes with 2 folks and one lane with 1...swam 3,300m (the workout was printed this time so i could see the total)...did my first set with fins...wow...so fun and fast...lots of fast swimming...8x100 at 85% with 10 seconds rest...uh...8x75 with paddles on 15 seconds....8x50 swim @ 90%...8x25 @ 95%...you know like that...lots of swimming...but good...got home just after nine...and noticed my legs were feeling better than they had all day...so i decided that was a good sign to keep them happy...and went to bed...looking forward to an off day friday...

Funny, I just dropped off an article by Barbara Kingsolver at your house!
