Week Review

Okkkkkkkkkk ie Dokie then.... At least my calf is holding up! Yikes JK looks painful!
It has been a rather productive week here. This week I really tried to not force anything and see what kind of schedule comes of it. Surprisingly enough I got a whole hell more done than I had thought! I even got two days of 2 workouts...... I think it is due to me getting up super early and going to bed early allows me more time in the am while the fam is asleep! Sooooooo getting up around 5 has turned into my new "awake" time. I always saw how easily most 'dad's' tend to get up and do their thing; but living it has been rather fun I have to say! I don't mind the change. It is nice to accomplish a ton by 0800, and most of the time I have been eating better and getting more done in each workout as well. TIP!!!! Must go to bed EARLY TO ACCOMPLISH!

So where was I, oh yea my week. Well Tuesday marked my first "team" lift. HOLY SHIT. Sorry was trying to stand to go and get some water. Note to self..... deep squats for a tall person = REALLY sore quads. got it...... Sorry, where was I? Oh yea.. me legs. F#@! sat down again...
The workout was fun and for me I was more interested in seeing what the team was capable of doing. I soon realized I was the one in needing of catching up! I want to make Tuesday morning very productive. So having an early lift session allows for me to lift and the get a run in before I am expected home. This week allowed for no run, but because of my schedule. Wed I was able to try to muster some hill repeats mainly to see if I could. Did pretty well too. Increased my average by 1.5 mph from last Nov when I was doing them for IM. Same HR. I would say that means I am fully recovered and ready for another good beating!!

My HR has come down quite a bit for the amount of time that I have been pounding pavement. I have about 27 miles so far not including tomorrows AM 6 miler before a team ride. Jen said that everyone was going to do the Huntington Beach 1/2 and full Marathon Super Bowl Sunday, so they would not be riding too hard. SO.... that means I can afford this week to show up with some not-so-fresh legs.

As for next week I have some specific schedule commitments that are made. One being to try to add 1 more day in the pool. Thing is I HATE the pool in the morning..... YUCK!

Not drinking as much beer lately, someone is doing it for me!. See above.
Later.....
