Just do it

Went to the base gym and swam first.  I tried out my new PGTRI swim cap!  It was pretty sweet!  I did a warm-up of ten laps and then I did some intervals of 8, 6, 4, 2, 4.  I was kinda tired but it was good.

I then did 3 on the treadmill at about a 7:34 pace.  It felt pretty good until the last mile and after I finished.  My legs are pretty beat.  I think they are just mad at me because they weren't used to racing.  

After some core work with push ups I departed from thence. 

Today felt a lot better than yesterday I must stay.  I ran outside on the path at Hill for 3 miles at just under a 7:30 pace, which is exactly what I was shooting for.  My legs felt a lot better than on the treadmill yesterday.  Oh and I forgot to add in my blog yesterday that there was a guy next to me on the treadmill walking backwards.  Is that normal?  Do you see that?

 After my run I got bike outta the truck and biked the base perimeter twice.  This is a really good ride!  One lap is about 11 miles (obviously) and it's pretty flat or downhill so I didn't kill myself.  The end has about 3 miles of uphill but it's not bad.  I will definitely do it again! Before this I had only gone 8.5 miles on that bike at once so I decided to bump it up and see how it went.  It was a fun ride!  Averaged about 20 mph and got up to 36!  YEAHH!  

I then went and lifted with chest, shoulders and triceps to top it off.   I also plan to hike Adam's Canyon with Rebecca "The Rampage" Rampton a little bit later.  GoOd DaY!

Went to the base gym with Rebecca.  I just jumped in the pool and swam for forty laps.  It was kinda boring but good.  I had a know in my back so that wasn't great.

 Then we went on a bike ride with my parents around the perimeter road once.  We had to make sure we kept our speed down so we didn't leave them in the dust.  Comparing bikes is like comparing sports cars and semis... It was a fun time :) 

Today was grand!  I ran 4 miles!  Woop woop!  I did an out and back on the base road at about a 7:10 pace.  I was loving life!  My legs felt great!

 I then took my bike on one loop around the base.  I am a bit saddle sore these days.  I think I need to take one day off from riding.  It's just too fun though!  The loop took me just over an hour.  I pushed about 15 mph on the hill climb at the end.  Good ride.

I was going to lift a bit but there was little motivation.  By the time I got up to the weight area in the gym and saw all the people it dwindled. I stretched and left. 

I did some interval work swimming today.  It basically sucked.  I did a 15 lap warm up followed by intervals of 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1 to equal 70 laps total.  It was hard to not cut the workout short but I was motivated by the fact that each set was one less than the last.

I then did a bit of lifting and was outta there. 

Went to Ragnar and ran with Rebecca for her last 3 miles.  Got in trouble cause I didn't have a number.  Happy Birthday to me!
