Weekend and yesterday

On Saturday I did two separate workouts. First, I went running at the beach. I ran about 4.8 miles in 38 minutes. After, I swam at the gym for about 45 minutes.

Last night I was supposed to run, but things changed. I ended up swimming with Skyler at the gym after dinner. It was fun except that Skyler didn't like swimming with me. I haven't swam with him in over a year and he doesn't like that I'm faster than him. We swam for less than 30 minutes.

Today I will probably go running in Peter's Canyon. Although I might ride my bike instead. Who knows?!

Bike hurting my thigh?

Yesterday I went on a bike ride instead of swimming. I biked to the beach and back. It was windy heading down there so it took 44 minutes, but the way back took 38 minutes. I think I hurt my thigh while biking because my leg is a little sore today. I didn't go all out yesterday because I was a little worried. Hopefully it's ok

Feeling Ok

Yesterday I ran. I was worried about my thigh muscle so I didn't run fast. I ran 5 miles total, with a rest at the half-way point. My leg feels ok, but I want to take it easy for one more day. Then, I will be training again. I am going to do a 5K on the 4th of July. I should be ok by then.

Tonight I'm swimming. I need to do some biking, hopefully this weekend.

Swimming

Yesterday's workout felt great. I swam 72 laps (1 mile) in 31:45 minutes. That's a 26.75 second/lap pace. Not bad. Then I did 6 laps of pulling and 12 laps of 55 second sprints. I ended with 4 laps of cooldown.

Today I am going to try running again. My leg felt ok last night during our softball game. Hopefully all goes well.

Ouch!

Monday I decided to do a run workout. I started running and within one minute my thigh was hurting. I tried stretching it out, but that didn't help. I scrapped the workout and went home. That night I tried playing softball and realized that I couldn't run at all because of my thigh. I must have pulled a muscle or something. Bummer.

Wednesday I swam since I chose not to run or bike for the rest of the week. Swimming went well.

Thursday I swam again. Worked on drills.

Today I am going to give my left thigh a little more of a break. I will be swimming tonight. Maybe I will add in some eliptical if I have time. I will try running again tomorrow, if my leg is feeling good.

I need to really get going on my training because the OC Mud Run is in less than 4 weeks. I am doing the 10k and I need to be running fast. AND my next triathlon is a week after that! I want to do well in the race so I can qualify for the World Champiosnips in Australia. I don't think I would actually do to the World Championship race, but I would feel pretty good if I qualified.

Speedy Bike Ride

Saturday I decided I wanted to work on my bike sprinting since my next race is a sprint tri. So Skyler and I did a quick beach ride. He pulled me most of the way down there (he turned around about 2 miles from the end). I made it there in 38:20 minutes. On the way back I was flying! I rode back in 36 minutes! That's an average of 20mph on the way back! I think that's the fastest I've ever ridden that trail (it is 12 miles both ways).

Today I want to try to get a run it. We will see how much time I have. Softball game tonight!

wow

I took a few weeks off to tour Italy and I completely neglect my blog after I return. Bad Elise. I've been doing pretty good at working out.

Saturday I swam and did the eliptical. I even rode my beach cruiser to the gym.

Monday I did a running workout. I ran to Orange High (about 1-1/4 miles) then did some sprints around the track. I was clocking 200m around 1:35. That's fast! That night I played softball. More sprinting, which led to sore legs!

Tuesday I went mountain biking with Carrie at Whiting Ranch.

Wednesday I swam at the gym with Carrie and Kelly.

Yesterday I ran for 42 minutes.

Today I will not do anything.

Tomorrow I would like to do a road bike ride to the beach and back. I need to work on my bike sprinting for Pacific Coast.

I'm Still Here...

...although I haven't done any triathlon training for a month! That's not entirely true. Skyler and I went on a trip to Italy and rode 600km on our bikes while we were there.

This morning I woke up at 5:30 and went running. Random. I ran 3.7 miles in 31 minutes. Not bad considering I haven't ran for over a month.

Tomorrow I would like to swim and did another cardio activity. I don't want to run because I ran today, maybe the eliptical.
