Missed Monday’s run due to sleep issues + pouring freezing rain. Finally (somewhat) made it up today with 4 miles on the indoor track, right before spin class. Hoping to still get a run in tomorrow and be back on track, work willing…

Wed, 5/22: Missed a week’s worth of running between a houseguest and having some other issues. Finally got 3 miles in on the hated treadmill before spin class.
Sat, 5/25: Was supposed to run 8 but internal issues made me finally turn around early, as well as slow down a bit. Great company but lousy run.

Oops! Catching up on entries here. Wednesday was a 3-miler before spin class, due to missing Tuesday’s planned run. No complaints.

We had tickets Thursday nights for Madama Butterfly, so I got into work early enough that I could knock out a run afterwards. With the rain still bucketing down I decided I’d rather not drown and (alas) went for the indoor track again. I was hoping for 5 miles but I felt like crap the entire time I was running. Sometimes it just never quite clicks internally and this was one of them.

That cold ended up knocking me for a bad loop, but this morning it appeared to be 100% gone. Didn’t have time to run in the morning and enjoy the great weather, alas, but when I got to the gym for spinning I had time for 2 miles. So I decided I’d do an indoor duathlon (or as I jokingly renamed it, a spin sandwich) and put 2 miles at either end of spinning class. All in all, worked pretty well.

This week’s been a little nutty and overbooked, and so far during the week I’ve only squeezed in stuff on Monday and Wednesday. On Wednesday I got to the spin class with enough extra time to knock out three miles right before spinnign. Another backwards brick, as I like to think of it. 🙂

Missed my planned run on Tuesday, so I decided to do a backwards brick today and knocked out three miles on the indoor track right before my spinning class started in the evening. Worked pretty well (aside from being super-thirsty, I suspect from the excess sodium that comes with store-bought soup for lunch) and I had enough energy in reserve to survive Teresa’s butt-kicking spin class. I must admit that I kind of miss my old run-after-spin bricks. In the spring I’ll definitely be reviving them.

I told myself last week that this week’s brick would go up to at least a 3 miler. But on Monday, I went for a belated bike ride (Sunday was just too windy out with its 40mph winds) and about halfway through, a tendon next to my right knee started really bothering me. It was still hurting on Tuesday, so on Wednesday I decided I needed to be careful and not mess anything up. In the end, just went for the two miles; I could’ve picked up more, but with the race on the 23rd it just seemed like a really bad idea.

After missing last week’s Wednesday brick, it looked like this Wednesday was going to be a no-go after work as well, so I got up early and dragged myself to the 6:30am spin class for a change. It was great to see Barbara again; I haven’t seen her in aaaaaages. Afterwards, I went outside and ran a 2-mile loop in the mid-40s temperature. Brrrr. I was glad I brought an extra long-sleeve shirt, though, it totally did the trick. Next week, hopefully, add on an extra mile to the brick.

Backwards brick for Wednesday; I had so much stuff to get done after spinning class that I ended up running my 2 miles right before class started. Not really a brick, but the switch-up was good and it put me a little more tired for spinning, which is a I figure a somewhat good simulation of post-swim. Also thinking that I might start shifting the post-spin run up to 3 miles. (Also might start doing it outdoors, if I can clean and break down the bike quickly.)

Another Wednesday, another brick. No complaints here, well, except that TJ’s air conditioning was not up to the 90 degree weather outside. Oof. Good tough spinning class, though.
