Fuel It Right

AM- Pretty tired this morning.  Made it through 2 rounds of hiit, total 16 minutes + planks.  Ran 20 minutes after.  Emigration or spin later.

PM- Decided to ride from home.  Wasatch to Millcreek Canyon.  Made it up a couple miles and then the road turned to a sheet of ice all the way across so I turned around(I was about ready to turn any ways).

I was sooo hungry when I got home from my ride. I grabbed some chips to curb my hunger and ended up finishing the bag.  oops!!! Then I finished a box of Girl Scout cookies to make it even worse.  Not such a good day food wise.  I did eat all my pre-prepared good food though so it wasn't a total wash but not great. I have too many treats laying around right now. Tomorrow is another day.

AP 7:53 55:16

I was planning on going to the track.  It was pretty warm but the wind was ridiculous so another TM run. 1 mile warm up. 3x1600 @ 7:08 w/ 800 between. After last 1600 I did a 400 rest then 800 @ 7:03.  10/50 for a total of 5 minutes of plank work after.

My knees are sore today.  Probably from my ride yesterday. 

My knees are super sore today.  After thinking about it more, I think it is from the squats I did on Tuesday.  I've never done them this way and my form must have been off.  You always remember how important form is when you do something stupid.  That is the only thing I did really different any ways.

PM- No hiit, no running, got on the spin bike to see how my knees felt spinning.  Debated, spun for about 10 min, got off bike, left class, debated more, decided to go back and do an easy ride. Did a few hills with the class then just rode my own ride.  We'll see how my knees feel in the morning.

My knees feel so much better today! So glad. They are still a little sore so I'm gonna take the day off and do a long run tomorrow.

5k AP 6:55(aided)  9.9 AP 9:10

Went and ran the 5k course of the race I'm doing on the 23rd. It's a down hill course and I wanted to see where I was at.  Parked at the finish and ran the course backward plus a couple. Started the tempo @ about 6.4 miles.

7:03, 6:52, 6:49, :39(total 21:24).

I'm happy with that. It was hard but I didn't really make myself that uncomfortable.  It's kinda scary to go there.  Should be interesting to see what happens in a couple weeks.  Finished with loop around the block.
