Training- 8mi Run
Training- 8mi Run by terrypeppers at Garmin Connect - Details
I damn sure didn't feel like doing anything today, but I did anyways. I did my 8 mile run at 8:09 per mile average pace... a little faster than I was suppose to (8:15 per mile). Nerve pain was shooting down my left leg after about 6 miles, but I tried not to let it affect my pace.
Afterwards I went swimming for an hour to do drills!! I did see some improvement in my balance, so I think it is paying off.... slowly.

Today I went to the group swim and then had a short bike ride. The swim was uneventful... still seem to be having issues increasing my yardage and breathing correctly... Going to Total Immersion workshop so hopefully that will help.
Bike ride was good. Went out in a group of 4 with 3 pretty fast riders. At times, they were going too slow for me, so I passed them and pushed the pace. At the halfway point my IT band started hurting again! Oh shit! Luckily, like it always seems to do, it stop hurting after a mile or so. I'm finally getting to the point where I'm averaging 20mph!!

Saturday Long Run- 10mi
Saturday Long Run- 10mi by terrypeppers at Garmin Connect - Details
It was raining outside, but the run still started off good. After 6 miles, I was feeling so good that I started thinking about running 12 miles instead of 10. Then, all of a sudden my knee started hurting after 7mi. I wasn't enough to slow me down much (I only slowed down to an 8:45 per mile pace for about a mile), but it was enough to get me to stop thinking about doing any extra mileage. I didn't have my ITB strap on today, so maybe that has something to do with it, but maybe not.

I missed the warmup so my overall mileage was a little lower than I wanted it to be. The good thing is that I increased my average speed to 16.8mph. My knee never really hurts during the spin for some reason, but that's a good thing.

Ran a 7:54 per mile average pace, which is what I should have been running. Everything was ok until my back started hurting towards the end, probably the last 3/4 of a mile. I stretched afterwards, so I hope that helped.

I was suppose to run yesterday, but didn't so I ran extra today, after the bike ride. I was suppose to run 3 miles today, but as I was running, I decided to go ahead and do another loop (each loop is 3.25 miles). I took a piss break between laps and my back was definitely tight, so I ran the laps slow. I started off fast for the first 2 miles, but then fell off. I was able to pick up the pace the last mile though and finish strong.

1st bike (spin) since accident. It went good. I didn't feel any back pain at all, so I'm confident that I can go 100% and not hold back during my rides/spin classes.

1st run since bike accident! Went good. Accidentally did negative splits and ran WAY TOO FAST the last mile cause this guy wanted to race me. He had passed me after the 1st mile, when I was just taking it easy to see how I felt. Then I picked up the pace because I was feeling good, but I wasn't trying to catch up to that guy, it just slowly started happening. By the time the second mile was over, I was about 10 yards behind the guy and he heard me, so he started to run faster... which made me want to run faster. I hadn't "tried" to catch him, but now that I was so close, I wanted to beat him to the finish. I caught up to him and we ended up SPRINTING side by side to the finish. That wasn't smart... that night my back was really killing me!!!

Had a pretty bad bike crash! Ambulance and everything...
First 30 miles of the bike was great!! I was really impressed by the progress that I had made. I was going pretty fast and hard the whole time. That good feeling made me want to go even faster and harder, so I did... more to come.

My knee hurt during the 1st and last miles. Other than that, I was ok. I DEFINITELY need to go to Koala Health & Wellness and have them look at my knee. The 1st half of the ride into the wind... not fun at all. That was the 1st time I felt winds like that while on a bike. I had to stay in the aero position, otherwise I wouldn't have made any forward progress. On the way back, the tailwind was GREAT! I was hitting and maintaining speed up to 23mph.... NICE!!!
