Got in for a swim yesterday at lunch. Had to cut it a couple hundred short (most of the cool down) 'cuz class went over again, but i got most of it in. 300wu, 200 drill sets, 5 x 100 moderately hard on a 10sec interval, 200 kick sets, and 100 cd. Had to study for a pharm test for this morning, so i didn't get the bike ride in. But something's better than nothing. i'm hoping to sleep tonight. i'm sickeningly sleepy.
Today i got in my first "speed" workout on the run. Book called for 6 x 30sec "fartleks" which--if you're unfamiliar with the term--are kind'a' informal bursts of speed within an easier workout. i, however, formalized 'em (for to try out the shiny new Timex Race Trainer, which worked like a dream) and put 'em on a 1' interval. Did a 10' warmup, then started the intervals, then ran home for a cooldown, for 38' overall. But because there is no semi-flat place to run within 10 mins of our casa, they were all uphill. Which added some spiciness in my opinion. That was fun. i haven't let the horses loose in a ...well, nigh on a decade. And i made a mockery of the time it usually takes me to run to the bridge (which is my first checkpoint). Gave me hope that even in my rotund, bloated, elderly condition, i might one day be fast again. i needs ta find me a track up round in this hood.
