After the flu last week, this week was about working back into real training.
Monday - 4,150 yard swim. I did the workout, but I could not get faster...it seems like I only have one speed and it isn't fast. This one was later than usual and at the Monon Center pool because I didn't put swimsuits back in my bag after having them washed and then it would have been even later before a lane was available at Jordan.
Tuesday - Easy run with the team. I ran 5 miles at a decent easy run pace (11:30). I had one moment right before mile 4 where I was having a bit of labored breathing, but it came back around and I was fine. It felt good to run.
Wednesday - I had to work in the evening so I did both workouts in the morning. 3,250 yards in the pool...again I only had one speed. I missed 250 of this workout because I miscounted 50s in one set and then I missed 4 of the 50 yard drills because I hadn't written them out (facepalm). Then I rode on the bike trainer for 15 miles. I wanted to get outside, but in the morning it was still too chilly.
Thursday - Before I went into the office I went to the Bike Hub Y and lifted weights. After work I went for an outdoor ride...the first of the year! I rode 19.6 miles and it was wonderful, if not a bit breezy. I did mostly ride on the Monon because it was rush hour and my first outside ride.
Friday - 3,100 yard swim at Fort Ben. There was a meet at the downtown Y and Jordan often has swim team practice on Friday evenings (though they may have been at the meet) so I went out to the fort. I didn't have more than one speed still and was coughing some, but it was a fine swim with lots of longer sets.
Saturday - I was supposed to ride in Louisville today, but it was Thunder Over Louisville (airshow) day and wouldn't have been safe to ride with the additional traffic. I rode Eagle Creek to Zionsville and back twice with some differences at the ends instead. It's a fairly rolling route but the traffic isn't bad. I had a good ride and got in 53 miles, though the last 13 was a bit slower than the rest. It was pretty chilly on the fast downhills, but otherwise I was appropriately dressed so it didn't bother me. I was pretty tired the rest of the day, so I think recovering from the flu is still affecting me a little.
Sunday - When I started this run I wasn't that into it. I flipped the watch over to HR and just started running. It ended up being one of those runs that felt pretty good, was enjoyable, and was at a quite reasonable pace. I'm glad I went out and did it. 8 miles. Eagle Creek for Earth Day.
