Theme Week

The theme for the week is oversleep. My inability to get out of bed the last two days has really put me behind the eightball this week. This morning I was able to get my full 95 minute bike ride in but had to cut the run from 65 to 30 minutes so that I could make it to work on time.

This meant that I had to run 35 minutes when I got home from work tonight...what a drag. My legs just don't respond well after a 2 hour 5 minute morning session, followed by a 9 hour day in front of a p.c....with an extra special one hour ride home from work. To top it off my car stereo has been out of commission for the last 4 weeks and I haven't gotten around to having it fixed.

Needless to say the run wasn't pretty but I got it in...and that's what counts. They can't all be gems. Anyway, I am looking forward to tomorrow's high intensity run:

15:00 easy jog, gradually raising your HR to 70%
6 x In & Out 100's
2 x (2400m / 10:00) @84-92% w/(1200m / 7:00) easy jog after each
Go straight into your cool down, bringing your HR back
under 50% during the final 2-3:00.

....that should be a bear. I plan to get my 1 hour swim in after work.
