Moving right along

This week was another good week of workouts. I did skip my workout on Wednesday to go to the Slipknot concert. I was to excited to go to focus on actually working out. Great concert and my neck is still sore from it and my voice is completely shot still from then and last nights super bowl party. Monday I had an hour swim and was going to take it easy after and do the yoga class, but there was no class so I ended up lifting anyway. Tuesday I ran the first time in my Zoots. My little toe fell asleep which I think is because they are to tight, but they dont feel like they are. I have that problem with the style of shoes that I have been wearing for 2 years now when i run on the treadmill so I am hoping that is the problem. I always feel horrible when I run on the treadmill. I cant wait to get out on the road with them. I did run outside on Thursday which was really nice. Since I skipped my wednesday workout I had to get in a bike on Friday so I actually got up early to make the bike class at 5:30. I get there and guess what, the instructor never showed up. I have about had it with the classes at the Grubb. 80% of the time, the class I am planning on going to never end up happening. If they know they arent going to have it, they need to publish it some place. So the only class I do now is the bike class on wednesday night, but in a couple weeks I am going to drop it because my bike time needs to be longer and I have to get in a longer swim so I will have to do my swim first and come home and bike on the trainer. I am glad because that class is pretty high intensity and keeps my heart rate pretty high. I might jump in that class once in a while just to get the higher intensity workout in, but probably not very often. I will probably be to tired. Today I ran 1:20 min outside. I was slow today. i only got 8.5 miles in and last week I got 9 miles in in the same time. Not that much different, but was hoping to get that long it again. My gut felt like it was trying to digest a rock. It was heavy and uncomfortable. I think it was all the crappy food I ate last night. Yesterdays bike ride really wore my legs out so that could be a contributer to the slower time too. This week will be my last week, I think, of running with the group I run with on Thursday. I need to get another swim in and the only time I can get in the pool is during the time the run is so it makes it difficult to do both. This weekend I have a couple busy workouts. Saturday I have an hour and fifty min bike followed by a 30 min run and sunday I have a 1:35 min run followed by a 40 min bike. In 4 weeks I have my first 2 hour run. I cant believe I have 7 months left until Louisville. This time is going to go by so fast. I am almost fearing that the summer is going to go by and I am going to miss most of it because of my training, but then i look at it as I will be outside training so I will be enjoying the sun, rain and wind and everything else mother nature throws at me. I cant wait for it to get warm enough to bike outside. I have my first 4 hour bike in 3 months and I am hoping to get outside in 2 months because it is starting to get hard to sit on the trainer for more than 2 hours. I cant imagine 3 hours on there. It will be tough to find a movie that is that long. :)
