so friday i was cleared to run 7 miles on saturday...this was very exciting news for me since my longest run since mid january had been 4 miles...it was very nice to be able to meet up with the group and stick with some people for at least one loop on the trail...ran with blythe, jim, laura, elizabeth and caught up with liz on the other side of ther trail...
the run went well but i knew that i was not going to go back out for another loop...i'm healing and i don't want to push too far and hit that pain point...i know when i do that i'm not making forward progress...
saturday night j and i went to see the aggro lights and flogging molly...great show...it was COLD! (outside at stubbs) but really great...got home around 11pm and the i was up early to ride..
i was prepared for it to be cold...but not THAT cold...my hands were totally numb...and it hurt to hold on, shift, steer and break...so i thought that rather than hurt my self i would go home and ride on the trainer...i was really disappointed...i really wanted to ride on the road...but i guess it's time to invest in some real winter gloves for cycling...since i seem to want to ride in the winter....anyway i tried...made it a mile and headed home...
had my meeting for vineman training...got our periodization and started on week one of pre-season yesterday...nice...i think i am going to try for the B plan this time around...and even with that i needed to cut back on my workouts or i would be over A hours for the week...so no run monday...just yoga in the morning...
hit up swim this morning...then to spin tonight (this is going to put me over on my cycling hours but i figured i would like one class and one road ride...it's only 25 miles this weekend)...i think i am going to try and get to track this week...just to test things out...and not do mile repeats...just get a little speed work going...to see how i feel...
both PT and the DR only want to see me once this week...so all in all things are looking good on the training front...this 4 weeks of pre-season are going to be just getting back into the game...i'm looking forward to it
