Had an 8:30am con call at the office (who does that on a Friday? Clearly they don’t know that’s the slowest day of the week at the gym and that I like to linger in the peace and open equipment!). Anyway - so only had time for a quick 35 Mins interval work on treadmill today and 30 mins strength. Plus we have our first tennis match tomorrow if it doesn’t rain so I want to be fresh.
The run was super tough and slow again - wondering what’s going on. I felt like I was speeding along (meaning I was working hard), looked down to see 12minute miles. BLAECH! Now I AM slow, I know that…but sheeseh. Bumped the next speed interval up to 10ish and was really feeling it but managed to hang on to better speed for the remainder of the workout.
If I’m looking at the week - M 60mins spinning & lifting, Tuesday 45min run & lifting, Weds off, Thurs 45mins on stair climber and lifting and an hour or so of tennis in the evening, then today. Doesn’t seem like enough to really be killing me. Very frustrating. I know by looking at the list you’d think I’m lifting too much but I don’t think that’s it. I don’t lift a lot of weight and I really work different muscle groups differently each day. Like yesterday I did a bunch of upper body stuff but missed my delts, lats, and a couple of Tricep bits I like to do so today after the run I did those things and threw in a one-legged bosu ball bicep curl to overhead press combo just because that’s my favorite!
Sunday I’m going to test my bike commute to work! I’m SO excited about that. I live sort of at the bottom of the 7 hills of Kirkland so it will be a tough climb out but then I can hop o
