Hiyah! This morning I took my resting heart rate..it has been around 55bpm for the past few weeks since I have been taking it...This morning I checked it 5 times because it was so much lower~for a full 60 second count..Anyhow my RHR was 47! Crazysauce.

The Pool was so crowded at 6:00a.m. when I started...Must be the season! Anyhow I will throw in what my workout was if anyone cares:

3300yd "3000 Tempo"

200kick, 200pull, 200swim (warmup)

4x75yd moderate :15 rest

20x50yd HARD :10 rest, :60 after 5

200yd easy peasy

10X75yd Build (Last 25 yd all out) rest :15, :30 after 5

6x25yd 100% sprints w/equal rest :30

300yd warmdown

Saturday and Sunday as you know We went Longboarding..here are some pictures I finally got around to fussing with:

 

That Board doesn't look super long..it is 42 inches.

 

Um ok there are posted signs we aren't supposed to skate in park..I think I forgot to read them.

 

Ooooh Blackie (Unique name for sure!) is so pretty! She is a Full Lab..A bit short.

 

 Actually Higher up than it looks! Tree climbing is fun, I still do it..lol. Will take pictures next time of me.....this is the only pix of me from this outing:

 

 I'm a clown.

Anyhow....Back to Tuesday, I Spent 75 minutes doing "Hills" on the Trainer...Kicked my Butt...Stretched Legs 30 minutes as usual and it really made me feel better having done so. Slept long and hard! 9.5 hours (Made up for the 5 hours I got the night before!)

I am always a day behind on posts..lol. Well one thing is My day isn't ever finished till late..Like On this day I stretched at 11:30p.m.

So I went swimming at Noon. Was a "3000 Long" day..Longer intervals:

300yd Warmup

4x300yd Build (1st and last 50 strong) rest :15

1x1000yd Strong Pace

1x500yd Warmdown 

9p.m. Hit the gym for a late treadmill run 6 miles..Still doing heartrate training. Ran on 1% incline to prevent overstriding. It was a zzzzzzz type run. My body was so bored.

Stretchy Time 30 min. Legs @ 11:30p.m.

My husband is a goof..Likes to mess with my Wallpaper all the time:

He just wishes he could grow a manly goatee like that one. :P

Okie...so what did I do on this day? Reading my workout journal here...oooh yes! Exciting news....I finally hit the weights again....after nearly 7 weeks!!! The last time I lifted was Jan 1st, the day before I slipped on ice and fell on my rib..Rib is maybe .....97% I'm not lifting "heavy" so I am certain I am good to go.

11a.m. Lifted Back and Rear Delts. Felt so Freaking good! Love the energy I get from lifting..makes me feel huge like a giant Footballer and I own the whole gym! MOVE away from the Weights boys..I am here! :P

Super long day driving kids around to Swim Team and getting my daughters chipped tooth fixed...I actually have pix of that but am too tired to post them..lol...anyhow $200 for the tooth, could have bought say, 133 boxes of Little Debbie cakes instead! That is the first cheap junk food item that came to my mind...I could have bought 400 candy bars! Lol.....oooh ummmm. I had 3/4 of a snack size Baby Ruth my daughter rejected today cuz it had nuts in it..I was like...omggggggggg it's SO mine! Yummy.

Ok...Back to business...@ 7:30p.m. I hit the Oh so comfortable bicycle for 90 minutes w/10min one legged drills in the middle. Watched Women's Olympic Snowboarding halfpipe....was fun...until the mens figure skating came on...looked weird with what I was listening to on my Ipod...The Black Dahlia Murder..lol....

Forgot to stretch...need to do extra today (Friday)

11a.m. Had a great Swim. Same workout as Tuesday. 3300yards. Felt Much stronger today and more fluid. Had a blast doing the 6x25yard sprints at the end. The guys in the hot tub were staring..I hope it is for GOOD reason and not because I looked like a spaz. Lol. Will show swim details again. Funny thing is I forgot my notes, but since I had them written earlier, I had them memorized:

"3000 Tempo" 

200kick 200pull 200swim

4x75 moderate Kick :15 Rest

20x50 Hard :10 Rest, :60 after ea 5

200 Easy

10x75 Build (last 25 all out) :15 Rest, :30 after 5 

6x25 @ 100% All out Sprints.

300yd Warmdown

I am wondering how many calories I am burning swimming. It's hard to gauge effort in water. As it is I gauge no perceived effort except in racing really. I just don't acknowledge the feeling of working hard, which is why Heatrate training makes no sense to my body, I feel like it is doing nothing for me..IDK....Grrrr

Ran in fluffy snowflakes..Stuck my tongue out to eat some as a I ran...I didn't care what anyone thought. This low very slow mileage is killing me....Need to ask coach if I can do more...O.o 

That is all.

I know I know..why the Hello am I wearing Racing flats for an 8 mile treadmill run....My feet feel like they are suffocating in normal shoes...The Treadmill run was *sigh* long and slow..Felt like walking....My coach is doing his Magic tho.

At least I had fun right before my Zzzzzlicious Treamill Experience. I lifted Weights..yay my Shoulders are pumped! Felt good.

Then before that I stretched Legs for 30 minutes. Ha ha I told the story backward..Fancy.

That was about it, Oh besides cleaning out my closet some more...anything I haven't worn in a while.. I have like 400 pair of jeans and I wear the same two pair of Lucky Jeans that are 3 sizes too big, have tons of Worn in holes and are soft soft soft. Need to find more pair like that..100% cotton is the best...none of that lycra stretchy pants Jeans junk.

OH, one last thing...I saw two college girls trying to barefoot run on the treadmills in front of me....Makes  me want to throw up on this Barefoot running fad..ha ha...
