SO , this wasn't so bad....i've had better weeks, i've had far worse...but this was good..with only 33 weeks or so left to ironman canada, and few more after that to the nyc marathon, it feels good....i could have got a few more training hours in, but seems like things are progressing along...a couple spins on the bike trainer, a couple of good runs, and a couple trips to the pool...feel okay.
WELL not really.....for some reason my left hamstring is throbbing right now..and though i thought the magic of my physio had heeled all, well, i guess i'm still in recovery...so ouch, but it's a pain i can handle. think i may have something with running out in the cold...i felt it during the run and then during yesterday morning's swim. really struggled with my kick board drills..and actually, then it wasn't my hamstring that hurt, but more like my left hip...oh well, no pain no gain right????.....that's why my hearts so big and tough....
ACTUALLY THE swim yesterday was okay, but left tougher then it should have been. only 1400 meters, some kick board and pull thingie drills, and struggled. after a short 5 mile run, it should have been better then that...will have to give it another go on monday and just put my head down and go 4 it.
LOVED the bike this week. the spin class with the edmonton tri club i think was just what the Md ordered. it was first spin, except for doing stuff on my own with my spinerval dvds, and this was definitely more fun....it was hard, the core stuff afterwards was great too...but the key was, it was fun!!
I KNOW THAT ONE OF MY resolutions for 2009 was to get out and swim with the gang every friday night, but that just doesn't seem to be happening. with the spin at 8:30 saturday morning, i just can't see staying out, swimming my ass off, and then being any kind of shape to spin the next morning. think i'm gonna give swimming at either the kinsmen or peter Hemingway saturday afternoons next week...i really wanna get everything in 3 times a week each....i should be able to handle that. it'll be tough once the distances get more demanding, and co-ordinating schedules with the kids and my responsibilities at home...but the long stuff is always on the weekends, so i can't see that being a problem
TOMORROW should be interesting....am taking the hyper ADD autistic Sasha to see disney on ice at rexall place tomorrow afternoon.....i know she's looking forward to, it's going to be something brand new for her...just hope she stays relaxed and focused enuff just to enjoy it......will just have to see, play it by ear, and hope for the best....i don't think the performance is extremely long, so that'll help
