Hangin' Loose

Hit the gym with my wife.  We lifted 2 sets of everything we did.  For legs, chest, bi, tri, back and lats.   That took about 30-40 mins.  After that we hit the spin class.  Warmed up for 15mins before and rode the 1h in the class.  It was a bit tough for me.  Some of the hills I had to stop on.  My legs were burning.  Haven't felt that in a long long time.:)  And was sweating a ton.  My back was loving it though.

Early morning run again.  Got it in before the snow and after the rain.  Was a great run with Jeremy and Pete.  And last night we went to the Nike outlet store.  And I scored a great pair of running tights for 20 bucks.  SWEET!!  Just love those running tights and they were perfect for the weather.  I got 2 other pairs that are thermo ones.  So these are lighter weight.  Perfect for this kind of weather.  I was really impressed.  Back to the run now.  Jeremy was setting the pace again.  And was kind of pushing it more on the first mile.   And slowed down on the 2nd.  Still a good run for all of us.

Mile 1 9:31

Mile 2 9:31

TT 19:03 And the distance is actually 2.1 but we will call it 2.  Dang we actually hit it right on going out and back.:)

Had about 30 mins of various workouts for shoulders, chest, bis and legs.  Then hit the spin class about 10 mins early.  Different instructor then I am use too.  And she killed me.  Not sure if it was that she wanted us to ride at 70% for the majority of the rides.  Starting each song.  And I was soon running at 100% for 50% of the time.  And she was still saying to turn it up a few full turns.  So with 5 mins left and her wanting to fit in another hill before finishing I called it good.:)  Was still a great workout.  Just need to learn this instructors instructions better or I will crash and burn again.

Early morning run with Pete and Jeremy again.  Jeremy was up till 1am he said after playing hoops again last night.  With a tailwind going out and headwind coming back.  Decided we were going to take it easier going out.  And finish stronger coming back.  I was the windbreaker for the small group and we made it back a bit faster then we went.  And had a good 50-100 meter sprint at the end.

Mile 1 10:01

Mile 2 9:44

TT 19:46

Got out for a long run with Jeff and Rory.  Jeff just ran Boston and Rory is training for his first marathon at UVM.  So it was a nice run.  I was hoping to get in 8 for the day and ended up getting 10.  The paces were around 9 or just under it.  But either way it felt good to me and so I went with it.  Felt like I could of kept going for a few more miles easily.  And my back was great for the run before during and after the run.
