Week 15: Back On It!

This week I dove back into working out, even tho towards the end of the week I was just so tired so skipped a few workouts.

Monday - Rest Day

Tuesday - Run
The calendar says an 80 minute run. Uhhhh. Ok. Yi and I planned to meet at Kezar and bust it out rain or shine. I wore my old sneakers just in case it did rain and that was a mistake. I started having ankle pain about 20 minutes in and had to suffer through it for the next hour. heh. Hard core! I also did NOT wear my CWX muscle supporting tights and could really feel it in my hamstrings. Overall, it was a pretty good run and both Yi and I felt great about our stats. I went home, chowed some food and passed out.

Wednesday - Track
This morning I had such a hard time waking up and felt like I had a workout hangover! I was so foggy and sick feeling for most of the day and emailed Yi that I wouldn't be making track. She emailed me back saying that she felt like shit too but we had to go as we had to get our bodies used to training when feeling like shit. Ha! Honestly, if it weren't for Yi I wouldn't do half the stuff. She is my motivator. Made it to track where we did some speed work. That was kind of interesting. 4 sets of running 1 mile at level 5, walking half the track and then running at level 7, then walking half the track again. So it was running kinda fast, not running, running really fast, not running and then doing it all over again four times. We felt good about this run too. Came home and crashed.

Thursday - Swim
Nope didn't swim. I was just so tired and had the hardest time getting out of bed.

Friday - Swim or Spin
Nope, didn't do either of these. I think when it's gray and gross out I have a harder time getting out of bed. Plus, my new heated mattress pad makes bed MORE awesome.

Saturday - Bike
Didn't want to drive all the way to the East Bay for a ride so I joined Yi at M2 for a spin class. Kicked my ass, even tho I felt like I was a lot stronger then when I was in his class last year. Ran erands, came home and was watching a movie and ended up passing out on my couch around 6pm never to wake up again. Ha! Not really but slept later than I wanted to and missed a friends' birthday bar celebration. :(

Sunday - Run and Swim
Opted out of swimming in Aquatic Park. I just don't want to do it. The water temp is 50 degrees people. Plus, I needed to do my swim marker set so I planned on joining the team for the run and then I would drive over to my pool afterwards. The run was supposed to be an hour but about 30 minutes in I felt like I had pulled my groin muscle! Maybe it's just my psoas but I didn't want to chance it. I snuck out to go to the pool and realized that I left my goggles at home and headed there. When I got to my street it was blocked off by cops! They even had the crime scene tape out! I drove around the block to see if I could get to my house from the other end but when I got there the other end was closed off too! Right there at the intersection was a minivan smashed into a parked car. It was just horrible. I found a parking spot on a side street so I could walk to my house. A cop had to escort me to my home because, guess what, it was a CRIME SCENE. And then it soon became evident that about every 3rd car on both sides of the street were wrecked. Apparently there was a high speed police chase and the guy they were chasing just rammed every car it could down my street! Whoa! Cars were just totaled, or side swiped, windows were blown out, glass was everywhere and huge pieces of metal were stuck up in trees! WHAT THE HELL!?!

Anyways, I grabbed my goggles and went to the pool. Swam 45 minutes including my 30 minute marker set. Came home and wanted to eat everything in sight.
