Busy week

Had a busy week, but was still able to get some solid workouts in. On Monday night, I did the Jack Rabbit swim "homework" for the week. I am really starting to fall in love with swimming. I find it so relaxing (kinda like I do with yoga), but I still feel like I worked out. On Tuesday, I attempted to do a speed workout, but my knees were bothering me for some reason. So instead of having a crappy workout, I shortened it and took it easy and did some strength training. On Wednesday I decided to do my speed workout and it went very well. My knees felt fine and I got an excellent speed interval workout in.

Not sure what the plan is this weekend. I registered to do the Bronx Half Marathon, but am not sure whats going to happen. It's only supposed to be a high of 30 on Sunday and colder in the morning. I haven't been feeling super great and don't think its a great idea to be outside for 2 plus hours in that tempature. I think it might be a morning of game play decision. See what the temp is when I wake up and how I feel.

Weekend run

So, ran the Manhattan half marathon this weekend - definitely not my best race :( Just was not feeling it. It was freezing out as well, which never helps. This was also my first long run in the new sneakers - didn't go well. My knees were very sore afterwards and my legs stiff, which is not good. I am going back to Jack Rabbit today to try and find another pair to try. Wish me luck!

First brick (kinda!)

Well, getting up and swimming before work didn't happen :) Oops. Instead I went last night after work and ended up doing a mini-brick (a brick is workout in combination - biking then running, etc. You do this so you get used to the transition of muscles).

Anyways....went and did the swim class workout and some laps for about an hour. Then dried off and changed and did a 3 mile run. Felt surprisingly ok during the run - definitely thought I would feel bad.

Tonight is swim class. Should be fun :) And on Sunday I am running the NYRR Grand Prix: Manhattan 1/2 Marathon with the girls. Then we're going to brunch. Love how I can combine food with everything :)
