tues/wed

sorry the blogging has been kind of hit or miss since school is back...haven't really had a normal week yet...so nothing is really routine yet...getting there...

after racing monday i decided that i would just get back into it...and went to my regular tuesday workout morning swim...did the T-2 group...my legs were tired...really my body was tired but the swim was a really good way to start my week and get the blood moving to all those parts that raced the day before...ended up swimming 3200...coach chrissie said that the race counted in the schedule as 1h run 1h bike and a 30 minute open water swim... :) sweet...so i get an extra afternoon off this week...delightful...

chem class between workouts was actually much better than day one...i think i am going to be able to survive it...he had power point slides and actually put together some coherent notes up there so that was good...much less intimidating than day one...still i did study before and after class...quiz thursday so we will see where i am...

tuesday pm was core/spin...class was a little lighter than it had been but not by much...had a good workout...needed to drop a gear at the last part of practice...maybe the last 10 minutes...but other than that kept up well with the cadence/gear work...

had turkey pot roast that had been cooking pretty much all day in the crock pot for dinner...totally yummy...j and i ate it all...as i said to him i guess that is ok since it is from a cook book called crock pot recipes for two...i'll make that again...

wednesday am core class...also pretty packed...good solid core workout...

three classes today...all generally good...had a pop quiz! in nutrition 307 (food science) i think i got them all right...i hope that she counts my slight miss on the HACCP question...i put hazard assessment critical control point instead of hazard analysis critical control point....i wonder...close...so far...a lot of this class is a combo of stuff i learned while working in kitchens and stuff that i have figured out from kitchen work...

then some life cycle nutrition...then some anthropology...we started a video about a gold prospector that had the first contact with tribes in the highlands of new guinea...very neat...

pm track workout...a 2.5 mile run before practice a warm up...drills...strides...1mile repeat...4x400 repeats...another mile...then 2 laps cool down...my mile times were sad...nothing like that one 7 min one...worked hard for a 7.50 mile...the second one we were aloud 10 seconds slower than the first...i was happy for that...i made it...but just made it...i am looking forward to thursday pm off and a whole friday off...almost there...
