July 4th week was a bit of a break week, which involved me attempting to play tri-athlete.
I tried this thing called “BRICK WORK” that they like to do. It involved a Citibike and a run. Um…not recommended. Citibike was heavy and it was rather dangerous to bike with NYC cabs.
I also successfully rescued a green turtle on 72nd Transverse. He was all by himself wandering the street, where in a few minutes would have been open to vehicular traffic. I picked him up and walked over to the pond. I managed to get pee’d on in the process, but hey, he probably thought I was going to eat him. I’d be scared too if a giant suddenly picked me up.
Tuesday 7/2: Faster Finish http://connect.garmin.com/activity/336813133
I think it’s decent numbers. This was far easier than the 800m at Great Lawn for some reason.
Wednesday 7/3: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/337078238
I’ve finally concluded that clockwise is easier than counter clock.
Friday 7/5: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/337996985
Turtle Rescue! Don’t mind the splints. I used preprogrammed workout for pacing purposes.
Saturday 7/6: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/338243903
Nothing special. It wasn’t the best but didn’t fade towards the end, so it’s good, I think.
WEEK 13.
We’re back to work on Week 13 with some MP’ed runs. Which is good because I have been secretly practicing them on the TM. I can’t seem to hold it for more than 4Ms which concerns me but I’m going to blame it on boredom…for now.
Monday 7/8: 6M on Treadmill, followed by Spin Class at night.
Tuesday 7/9: Easy 5M on Treadmill in the morning, then FF.
OK, the numbers are impressive, but it was downhill for the hard parts. I think we got a break in this class. Maybe Terry finally felt sorry for us…?!
“10K Tempo” is 7:18, 7:16, 7:09, 6:55, 6:57, 6:59.
“Finishing Pace” is 6:11, 6:04, 6:15, 6:20, 6:14, 6:19.
I get faster on the “10K” and slower on the “Finishing” as I go along – not a good sign.
Wednesday 7/10: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/340616767 This was unbelievably hot and humid, but since I promised myself that I won’t complain about heat or fatigue this session, I had to work hard to keep the numbers as suggested.
Friday 7/12: This workout was supposed to be done on Thursday morning. I just didn’t want to do another hot and humid run. I knew the numbers will be crap and I’d rather have a morale booster than a downer…so I arbitrary moved it to Friday. I was STILL not into it. At the start, it felt like “ugh. It’s going to be one of THOSE runs…” http://connect.garmin.com/activity/341513348
Saturday 7/13: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/342033571
By Saturday, I’m feeling a little better. The weather was humid but it wasn’t hot. It also helped that I got rained on. My shorts and my shirt stuck to me like glue, which was annoying…but I managed to get numbers in as requested.
Sunday 7/14: TM…I secretly did a 10K run, with the second 5K being MP...wasn’t as hard as when I did it in the park (naturally).
