1/12/2010: 50 minute trainer ride to Vampire Weekend's new album "Contra". My bottom was quite sore towards the end, so I stopped (plus I had to leave for our final sendoff event at Bodega Wine Bar in Santa Monica for the AZ TNT Westside LA Marathon team). Hopefully, I can get that ride up to 1:10/1:15 for next week. It's a much more strenuous workout than biking outside.
1/13/2010: 5 mile run (my apartment to Brentwood Country Club, two loops around, and then back to the apartment). Since I hadn't run since Friday of the previous week, my legs were a little rusty and my breathing was not entirely in sync.
1/14/2010: 1 hour coached pool workout at Los Angeles Valley Community College. Tough but good workout. We learned some new drills/sets. I started off slow but was able to pick it up by the end. I definitely feel that I am improving, but I just need to keep hitting the pool.
1/15/2010: 10 mile run from my apartment to Santa Monica and back. I kept a decent pace and only used one Gu energy gel, trying to not kill myself before race weekend. It took me about 1.5 hours to complete or roughly a 8:45 pace with only a couple short breaks in between. It will be incredibly hard to sustain that over 26.2 miles, and I will also be doing 9:1 intervals.
Anyhow, I am just hoping to get a decent time on the AZ marathon and remain injury-free. It should be fun. I'm excited!!!
