Well, here's another belated post due to that beast of a class I'm taking. Plus, we did a quick little trip two hours up north for a little R&R.
Monday 10/19: Arm Circuit + 1 Hour Bikram Yoga
For some reason, this yoga session wasn't as "magical" as past sessions. I was having a hard time quieting my mind, but it still set the week off on the right note. Not every yoga session is going to be "earth shattering" - just like every swim, bike, and/or run isn't going to be a PR!
Tuesday 10/20: Swim - 2,400 Yards (Masters Swim)
I felt super tight during this entire workout. I'm not quite sure what's going on here, but I think the people stretching out their shoulders on the pool deck might be on to something.
Wednesday 10/21: Bike 28 Miles to Work
This was a nice, steady effort. It feels good to be riding a little longer in the mornings, especially now that the mornings are much cooler.
Thursday 10/22: Arm Circuit + Run 7 Miles
I was supposed to run 6 miles today...whoops! I decided to do Sunday's longer run today so that I would only have to do two three mile runs over the weekend. My legs felt great so I ended up doing this at my goal pace.
Friday 10/23: Run 3.4 Miles + Bike 24.2 Miles to Work
The run felt "meh," so I didn't have high hopes for the bike ride. My legs were extremely tight the entire run. I'm thinking I was paying the price for not stretching after Thursday's run. On the way back in from my run, I made my mind up that I was going to have an amazing bike ride. The mind is a powerful thing, and I ended up having a great ride in!
Saturday 10/24: REST!
I was supposed to do a 30 minute tempo run, but I was pretty sore from Thursday and Friday, so I talked myself out of it. I could have probably just done an easy three miles, but I didn't. We took the RV up north to a beach in Ventura, so I got to enjoy gorgeous beach views and get a tan while studying. My fiancee, my little brother, and his girlfriend were hanging out in the water past where the waves broke and a pod of dolphins swum under them! Next time, I'll bring an appropriate swimsuit/wetsuit, goggles, and a cap so I can get an open water swim in.
Sunday 10/25: 3 Mile Run + Long Walk
The spot we stayed in was literally right on the water with a bike path running alongside it, so I took advantage of it to get my 3 mile run in. Afterward, the rest of the group joined me on a walk on the path. We travel a lot, and it is rare that I don't even have to plan out a route. I definitely enjoyed being able to just lace up and run!
*Goals from last week*
1. Run to swim at least once next week - whoopsie!
2. Stick to the 15 minute time limit - this continues to improve!
3. Do all 4 runs this week - I only got three :(
**Goals for next week**
1. Stretch after runs
2. Stick to the 15 minute time limit
3. Actually get 4 runs in
