Date: 05/12/2012 Time: 8:45am Duration: 0:46:36 Location: Neighborhood Sport: Cycling Workout: 45 min ride with 3-4 X 1 min mod efforts, finish with 2-3 mounts/dismounts Distance: 11.02 miles Weather: Mid 60s, sunny, breezy People: Alone Comments: Matt got up and out early to do the Armadillo Ride, but Jamie was actually tapering me a bit for Skeese Greets, so I had a short workout. Slept in a bit, then rolled out from home down to Shoal Creek and did a few loops there. Then back home to do my mounts/dismounts at the end of my street, which went just fine. (Of course. It always goes fine in practice.) (It actually felt cool to start!) ---- Date: 05/12/2012 Time: 9:36am Duration: 0:15:18 Location: Neighborhood Sport: Running Workout: 15 min run with 3 strides Distance: 1.67 miles Weather: High 60s, sunny People: Alone Comments: Kept it nice and easy.

Date: 05/11/2012 Time: 11:25am Duration: 0:58:11 Location: Gregory Gym outdoor pool Sport: Swimming Workout: 60 minute swim Distance: 3000 yds Weather: 70s, partly sunny People: Alone Comments: I was supposed to do this swim Thursday and have Friday off, but right as I was headed out to the pool at lunch, a storm rolled in and the pool closed. Fortunately I saw that before I left my office. I didn't think my hunger would let me wait an hour to use the indoor pool, so I swapped my off day and my swim. Workout: 400 as 75 swim/25 drill 400 as 75 swim/25 stroke 400 as 150 swim/50 kick 10 X 150 as 2X (1 - 25 strong, 125 cruise, 2- 50 strong/100 cruise, 3-75 strong/75 cruise, 4 - 100 strong/50 cruise, 5 - 125 strong/25 cruise) - all on 2:30 300 pull breathing 3/5 by 50 A decent workout that went by pretty quickly, other than the fact that I wasn't at all hitting 2:30 for those 150s. I hadn't looked up what pace that was before doing the workout (it's 1:40s), and I guess I don't know what 'cruise' means, because in order to hit 2:30 on those, I would have had to do strong/REALLY FAST. So I just based it on perceived effort. (Comment on this)

Felt okay by the third (downhill) mile, but then the run was over. Group run in the evening was rained out, and I intended to do the alternate workout, but then decided that I'd benefit from a night off. Felt pretty guilty, but did it anyway. It was nice to go to bed early. (Comment on this)

I considered leaving the kick part out entirely, or cutting it short, or spreading it around some. But when I got in the pool, I decided to just man up and do the stupid workout as written. Workout: 16 X 25 DPS 12 X 50 exaggerated kick 8 X 50 descending 1-4 6 X 200 best avg on 3:30 200 as 25 drill/25 swim It was just about as long and miserable as I'd guessed it would be, but I did it.

6:56 pm	Sunday. Date: 05/06/2012 Time: 7:14am Duration: 3:00:03 Location: Neighborhood loops Sport: Running Workout: 3 hour base run Distance: 18.29 miles Weather: 70s, overcast, light rain most of the time People: Alone Comments: It stormed all night dramatically, and was still raining when Matt got up to get ready for the Rookie. Since I had a 3 hour run on my schedule, I wasn't going out to volunteer or cheer (because I didn't want to get up to do my run at 2am), but I wanted to get started early, so I was sure to be done by the time Matt got home. Decided to do two loops of my full neighborhood run (West Rim side, then parent side), and hope that would be just about right. It was still raining when I started, and overcast, and it felt really good. Except I felt like crap. My left glute and ITB felt wrong, and my stomach didn't feel great. I was afraid I was in for a VERY long run. I just kept it really easy. Then after 2.5 miles or so, things settled down. The rest of the run I actually felt good. I made sure I was always keeping it easy, because 3 hours is a long time to run, and my longest run since New Orleans has been 2.25 hours. Finished my first loop in 1:30 exactly. Eerie. Restocked from my supplies on my front porch, then headed back out. Still feeling good. Picked it up a little as I got further through the loop. Never really felt tired or done. Got back to the house and was only like 1.5 minutes deficient, and I wanted my 3 hours, so I ran down the block and back. Yay, 3 hours! Except.. man, I felt good for all but the first two miles, and looking at my times, it sure isn't reflected in there. My first two miles were over 10s, not at all uncommon, especially starting out up Spicewood Springs. But then there's 2 more 10s later in the run. And a lot of 9:40s and :50s. Those miles where I felt like I picked it up were my only 9:30s. So while my body felt good, it evidently sure didn't feel fast. But, to be fair, this was a much higher mileage week for me than I've done in.. a long time. 29 miles during the week, with a 14 mile long run on Wednesday, and 7.5 hours of running total for the week. So I'm just happy that I felt good. I can't believe the overcast and drizzle stayed for the full 3 hours. I'm afraid it'll be a while before the weather is that good for a long run again.

6:40 pm	Saturday. Date: 05/05/2012 Time: 7:21am Duration: 3:59:53 Location: South Austin, Buda, Creedmoor Sport: Cycling Workout: 5 hour ride Distance: 59.72 miles Weather: High 70s to low 90s, overcast then sunny, breezy People: Alone, then Betsy, David, Tim and Laurie Comments: Shiner was actually on our schedule, but I was out of town and then we missed the bus deadline and I couldn't help with car moving and.. the whole thing was just a mess, so we decided not to do Shiner, as did Betsy and Karen. Then Karen was tapering, so she was completely out. Lots of back and forth, and finally we decided to all sort of do our own thing, but do the South Austin African Safari route. Jamie assigned me 5 hours, and Matt said he planned to do literally 5 hours, such that he was going to start at 7am and be done at noon. We all agreed to meet in the parking lot at noon. Bets&Co were going to do the 51 mile route, I wanted to do 5 hours, so I started early. But then Enzo peed everywhere, so I started later. I struck out alone and was doing great following the route, then suddenly it didn't match up to reality. I rode around trying to figure it out, riding on the I35 frontage road more than I like to, and then finally decided to just backtrack until I got back to Buda the way I'd come, then resume the route from there. As I rode back, I found the rest of the gang, so I wheeled around and caught up to them and explained the map problem, and asked if I could join them. I felt much better having company out there. We went back the way we came to Buda, then did the east side, which was lots of hills. David would pull way ahead on the hills, I'd be behind him, then when we got to a turn, we'd wait there for everyone else. It was good to get in more hill-climbing practice. Finally, after 51 miles of anticipating antelope, we got to the part with the exotic animals, and saw 4 ostriches and what looked like it might be some tiny antelope far away. Hrmph. With all the map confusion and late start, I ended up only getting 4 hours instead of 5, but then it was noon and it was getting hot, and we had to go meet up with Karen to drink a Shiner in commemoration of the Shiner Ride we weren't doing. No run off the bike. (Comment on this)

4:41 pm	Thursday. Date: 05/03/2012 Time: 6:28am Duration: 1:12:43 Location: Madison, WI Sport: Running Workout: 60 minute ez run Distance: 7.52 miles Weather: 60s, humid, sunny People: Alone Comments: Last day to run in Madison, and my last desired route was south to the Arboretum loop, around tiny Lake Wingra. The run from the hotel down to the loop was all along boring, moderately busy roads. Then it got a little prettier when I got to the lake, but I couldn't tell where exactly I was supposed to be going. I had turn-by-turns, but it was confusing and didn't match reality. I finally turned at a random spot and it looked sorta like an entrance to a park, so I went in, thinking it was very wrong. Even if it was wrong, it was beautiful, and looked like a national forest preserve or something. Tree-covered and foresty, and lots of cyclists and some other runners. I kept running further and further in, having no idea if this was the right way, and scared I'd suddenly get to a dead end and have to run all the way back out and end up doubling my intended run distance. But then I got to a cross-street, and it said I was on the right road, and I felt much better. Ran by several Canadian geese, including one which hissed at me, and one random wild turkey who puffed up dramatically for me to when I stopped to take pictures. I kinda did the end of the loop wrong, and had to ask two different people how to get back to the road I'd come in on, and my run ended up a little longer than intended, but I figured that made up for shorter Tuesday run. I felt relatively okay out there, but my legs must have been fatigued, because it was a slower run than I'd realized. ---- Date: 05/03/2012 Time: 6:30pm Duration: 0:51:03 Location: NAT, Madison, WI Sport: Swimming Workout: Swim Distance: 2700 yds Weather: n/a People: Alone Comments: Oh, man, I so didn't want to do this swim. I wanted to go back to the hotel and go to bed when that conference day was over. But I didn't want to wuss out. And then I figured maybe I'd just go back to the SERF, because I already knew where it was (and it was about half a mile closer to my hotel than NAT), and I already knew how things worked and looked there. But I really wanted to check out the NAT, and frankly I kept telling myself I really had nothing better to do, so I manned up and walked over to the NAT. Managed to get myself checked in as a guest and found the pool, and joined a guy's lane. Nice to be back in a 25yd pool, and they had pool toys available. However, I decided that since I'd actually managed to make it into a pool, and even into the scarier pool, I'd cut myself some slack on the workout. My Tuesday workout had been long, so I'd shorten my Thursday swim. My legs were TIRED, so I cut out 2x100 kick (who assigns 4x100 kick, anyway?). Plus there were a bunch of kids watching me swim ("kids".. college-aged), and I thought they were all waiting for a lane, and resented me taking up half a lane with my lame, slow kicking. But there were so MANY of them. Eventually I realized they were waiting for their scuba class to start. Oops. But I still cut the kick in half. Then I decided 20x100 was just stupid, so I took off 1 100 of each speed. I hit all my paces for my 100s, but the 1:40s were really hard, and my heart just wasn't in it at all. I was in equal parts incredibly proud of myself for this swim, and SO VERY GLAD when it was done. I celebrated with cheese curds and a pizza-by-the-slice. Workout: 600 swim every 4th 50 DPS 2 X 100 kick building within each 100 so the last 25 is fast 16 X 100 as 5 on 1:55, 5 on 1:50, 5 on 1:45, 5 on 1:40 - last 5 should be a stretch(3-4 secs rest max) so adjust starting pacetime accordingly 300 pull breathing 3/5 by 50 as c/d (Comment on this)

4:33 pm	Wednesday. Date: 05/02/2012 Time: 3:41pm Duration: 2:13:32 Location: Hotel to Lake Monona, around LM, back to hotel Sport: Running Workout: Long run! Distance: 14.43 miles Weather: High 70s, sunny, humid People: Alone Comments: When I looked up routes, this was a run I really wanted to do. Running around a whole lake just sounds fun. I set my alarm for 5am and woke up to find loud thunderstorms. I like running in the rain, but not a storm. So I decided to do it after the conference that day. Then the last few speakers at the conference held no interest for me, so I ducked out early to run. I kinda hoped that the route around the lake would be a Trail, even though it didn't appear to be, so I wrote down turn-by-turns. And I'm glad I did, because while a lot of it was a bike path, some of it was just random and there's no way I could have figured it out on my own. Even with turn-by-turns, I stopped to ask people a few times if I was going the right way. It didn't always go right on the lake. Hotel to lake was pretty painless, first part of the course, on the hike'n'bike trail, was next to horrible highway traffic. Then into a ritzy neighborhood on the lake with huge, nice houses and lots of tulips. There was no water or bathrooms on any of the run (some water fountains in the last 2 miles), so I ducked into a Holiday Inn Express to use the facilities and refill. I kept seeing spraypainted arrows on the road pointing the opposite direction that said LMR, and I was secretly glad I wasn't going the Lamer direction. Then near the end I realized that that must be the Lake Monona Run course (20k run), and if I was going that way, I probably could have used those spraypainted arrows rather than my turn-by-turns. But that didn't help me at the time. Stopped to take pictures a few times, and see how far I'd come across the lake. Stopped in at an ice cream shop to buy water. I was pretty ready to be done by the end. It was warm and humid and I was soaked and my legs were tired, but I really had a blast out there. I was never trying to go fast at all, and it was decently hilly at times, but my paces were still mostly low 9s rather than my normal long run pace of mid/high 9s. I admit, when I got done with the lake loop, I wasn't thrilled about still having to run back to the hotel, but it was still a fantastic run overall. (Comment on this)

4:20 pm	Tuesday. Date: 05/01/2012 Time: 6:13am Duration: 1:11:43 Location: Madison, WI Sport: Running Workout: 75min run as 30min ez then 7X4min quick leg turn-over with 1min ez, c/d Distance: 7.66 miles Weather: 38! Humid and sunny People: Alone Comments: I had originally planned to try to do my swims in the morning before the conference and the runs afterward, because I didn't want to run in the dark in a strange city. Then I noticed the sun comes up in Madison at like 5:15am, so I swapped. I googled "running in madison" and found 3 routes I wanted to try out, to match my 3 assigned runs. Day 1: Picnic point. Ran from my hotel down to the lake, then on the hike and bike path past Canadian geese and black birds with red wings and lots of crew people, stopping to take periodic pictures. Got to the trail for picnic point and it turned from paved/gravel to real gravel and got hillier and tree-ier. When I got out to picnic point, I found a sunrise MayDay festival with lots of hippies wearing flowers and dancing around a maypole and people with accordians and other instruments playing, and a bonfire. Very surreal. Back to the trail, then I decided to take a detour and try to find the natatorium, since I hoped to swim there later in the week. Found it, then got completely lost trying to find my way back to the hotel without backtracking. Ended up backtracking enough to figure out where I was, and then followed a path I knew back to the hotel. Ended a little early, because I was just so happy to be found again. I kinda forgot what the workout was, and thought it was 7 minutes high turnover, so I think I did 2x7minutes with 4 between. Oops. It felt amazing to run in 30 degree weather. I should have brought a long-sleeved shirt, and I ended up putting a cotton long-sleeved (the only long-sleeved I brought other than my jacket) over my short-sleeved, then taking it off within a mile because it was too hot. ---- Date: 05/01/2012 Time: 6:00pm Duration: 1:11:13 Location: SERF, Univ. of Wisc rec sports facility Sport: Swimming Workout: Swim Distance: ~3718 yds Weather: n/a People: Alone Comments: I did research before I went to Madison about swimming options. Turns out since I was staying on campus and attending a conference, I could bring my badge and $5 and use any facilities as a guest. They had two pools available, so I intended to hit up both while I was there. First up: SERF. Took me a while to FIND the pool, and then I found that it was set up long-course. Well, at least that should mean less turning. Workout: 6 X 150 as 100 free/50 stroke 6 X 100 desc 1-3 on 1:50 9 X 200 desc 1-3 as 3 pull/paddles, 3 pull, 3 swim all on 3:30-3:35 range 100 ez as c/d I hadn't noticed the paddles thing until I was in Madison, so I figured I'd just do pull. Then they didn't have kickboards and pull buoys out so.. no pulling at all. Just figured I'd do all swim. Intended to alternate breast and back for my 50 stroke, but then someone joined my lane and I wasn't willing to try to do backstroke with a lanemate, so I did all breast, which didn't feel great on my legs. When I got to the 100s, I was consistently coming in 1:55 or so, even when pushing. Which was weird. But I figured it was a miracle I was swimming at all while in a strange city at a conference, so I just kinda swam based on effort, and let it go. Then some time during the 200s, when I still wasn't hitting my times, I remembered that this wasn't a 50 FOOT pool, it was a 50 METER pool. Which is longer. Which means my times wouldn't work out right. Oops. So then I was definitely just swimming on effort. Considered shortening my swim, since I knew it would be longer than intended, but I was enjoying the long course and less laps, and so I just did the whole thing. I was so very braindead when done, though. (Comment on this)

My legs were tired, but the ride felt okay. ---- Date: 04/29/2012 Time: 7:57am Duration: 2:14:01 Location: Neighborhood Sport: Running Workout: 2.25 hrs run off the bike - 15 min ez then do 12 X (8 min mod/2 min ez) Distance: 14.27 miles Weather: High 70s, humid People: Alone Comments: Pretty slow warm up for a run right off the bike, but then I settled in and felt pretty good. I didn't pay any attention to my watch other than to check when to run moderate, when to run ez. Didn't care about pace, just effort. Ran down Shoal Creek to 38th then back and did SC/GN loops until I was close to time. First hour felt pretty good. Then the last hour+ I was just ready to be done. My legs had not a lot left. Especially brutal coming back up the Far West pedestrian bridge. Just.. dead. I was so glad when this workout was done. (Comment on this)

And with no paces or intervals, just a run, which was nice. Just enjoyed myself, and was pretty slow, but it felt decent. ---- Date: 04/26/2012 Time: 6:40pm Duration: 0:36:16 Location: Emma Long Sport: Swimming Workout: Group swim Distance: ~1900 yds Weather: Low 90s? People: TxFe Comments: Uhhh, I don't remember now. Guest coach Jeff, and we couldn't start/end from the dock, because they were filming a commercial there. Wore my speed suit for the first time, and it felt pretty good. Impossible to tell if it actually did anything beneficial or not. Did some down and backs to the volleyball net, then broke into two groups and did mass starts/finishes. (Comment on this)

I can't pull nearly as fast as I can swim, so only my last pull managed to get under 5:30, and the swims were all well under. For the 100s, I was fine up until the 1:35s, and I think both of those came in around 1:36. Oops. Jamie still thinks I'm faster than I am. ---- Date: 04/25/2012 Time: 5:30pm Duration: 1:30:00 Location: Living room Sport: Cycling Workout: 90 min ride as 20 min w/u then do 20,15,10 min strong all with 5 min ez, c/d Distance: n/a Weather: n/a People: Alone Comments: I had intended to do this workout before work, but just couldn't make myself get up at 4am. My legs were definitely still fatigued from Tuesday's track workout, but I got it done. Got a call from my boss while riding asking me to look at something. Ugh. But I finished, then looked at it and fixed it. (Comment on this)

Date: 04/24/2012 Time: 5:14pm Duration: 1:10:35 Location: Anderson HS track Sport: Running Workout: 15min w/u, 3X(2km @8min pace, 2X400 at 7min pace), 2min rest after everything, 10 min ez c/d Distance: 8.07 miles Weather: Windy, sunny, 90 People: Matt Comments: Since we'd been busy Monday night with the Texas Iron BlueSeventy party thing, and had the Thursday group workout, we wanted another down night, so we requested a Tuesday workout we could do on our own, rather than do the group workout. Oddly he ended up giving me and Matt the same workout. A workout which practically killed me, and was pretty easy for Matt. I did really well at the 2k bits, coming in at or just below 2 minutes for every 400. The 400s at 7min pace basically tried to kill me. That's not a pace I can do comfortably. I just ran as fast as I could, really, hoping to hit 1:45, and I got 1:43, 1:45, 1:48, 1:48, 1:48, 1:48. Consistent, if not fast enough. I will say, though, that running those 400s made the 2k pace seem a whole, whole lot easier. This was one of the hardest workouts I've done in a while, and by the end my legs were just DONE. Fortunately the cooldown back home was mostly downhill. (Comment on this)

Date: 04/22/2012 Time: 7:50am Duration: 2:22:16 Location: Home to work and back Sport: Running Workout: 2 hour base run Distance: 14.44 miles Weather: Started in the high 50s, sunny People: Pam Comments: A weekend of Pam! I needed 2 hours, she needed 14-16 miles, so we kinda met in the middle. Run to work is roughly 7, so we ran my normal route, refilled water and used bathrooms in my building, then turned around and ran back. I definitely prefer running it one-way! Overall a good run. Pam had been having stomach issues that morning, but despite passing numerous portapotties, her stomach behaved the whole time. ---- Date: 04/22/2012 Time: 1:30pm Duration: 0:30:44 Location: Quarry Lake Sport: Swimming Workout: 30 minute recovery swim Distance: 1640 yds Weather: 80s, sunny People: Laura Comments: I asked Laura if she wanted to go do my recovery swim at Quarry Lake with me, then realized I didn't HAVE a recovery swim. But it wasn't going to do any harm, so we went out and swam. Just did two loops, and it felt really good. Water was weirdly bipolar, with warm patches immediately followed by really cold patches.
