Today is the last day to enter to with a free case of POM Wonderful 100% Pure Pomegranate Juice. Just leave a comment on this post with the flavor you would want to try. Pure Pomegranate? Kiwi? Mango? Nectarine? Blueberry? Cherry?
Thank you all for your well wishes for my dad. It was a very scary day and I'm just thankful that he should have full recovery!
I'm very pleased to have a solid week of training under my belt. It looked something like this:
Monday: Speed workout: 8 x 400 meter repeats at a 8 min/mile pace with 90 second recovery.
Tuesday: 23 mile steady state bike ride.
Wednesday: 6 mile run (1 easy, 4 tempo @ 9:15-9:30 min/mile, 1 easy) and a 3500 meter Masters Swim Workout.
Thursday: Bike workout with hill repeats on Harlem Hill. Left leg only, right leg only, race pace, power up on hardest gear, attack. Repeat. 11x up Harlem Hill and my legs were dead.
Friday: Recovery!
Yesterday my legs were quite sore from the tempo run on Wednesday and the hill repeats on Thursday. We indulged in Chinese takeout and a little time catching up on the DVR. Then at 9:30 I pulled on my new compression tights* and crawled into bed. 10 hours later I woke up, still a bit tired, but feeling so. much. better.
The agenda for the weekend includes a 10-11 mile run on Saturday, working at the Harriman Sprint Triathlon on Sunday morning and then a long ride at Harriman State Park.
*Thanks for all your suggestions about compression tights. I seem to be the last one on the compression bandwagon. Thanks to Caratunk Girl for suggesting the 2XU tights. I was borderline between sizes so I went with the smaller size and they are perfect!
