Training moves on

Workouts last week were very lazy. A lot going on. I did do spin class Monday and swim Wednesday 1500 yards because that was my last week for the gym. Other than that I did things at home. It was nice to get a big chunk of that done. This week has been a different story. I have had some great workouts. Monday I ran for 60 minutes. I got in 6.5 miles. I felt nice and relaxed and was even able to take the last hill at a reasonable pace. Tuesday my muscles were sore from Monday, but it was a good sore in just the right places. Nothing that hinders working out. Calves were pretty tight. Since it was raining, I jumped on the trainer indoors. I thought I would be on there for 10 min and just be dieing. I hate the trainer. I ended up being on there for a solid 45 min: 10 min warm up, 3x3:00 Variable gearing (1:20 medium gear 90 rpm, :40 easy +120 rpm, 1:00 hard 80 rpm) with :30 second rest after the first two then one minute rest after the last then right into a 10:00 time effort (75%-80) after that 3x3:00 Isolated leg training (20 sec right, 10 sec together, 20 sec left, 10 sec together x3 = 1 set) with :30 sec rest in between sets then a 4:00 cool down. Wednesday a 35 min bike followed by a 20 min run. I felt great. I pushed myself hard on the bike and worked hard on the hills then came back and ran 2 miles hard (7:30 mile pace) with 5 min cool down jog. I was exhausted but it felt good. I was pretty sore all week and thought today I would be even more sore, but I actually am hardly sore at all. I am taking tonight off then will run tomorrow night. I start school next week so I will get in the pool then. Going to shoot for 2 times a week in the pool and hopefully hook up with the triclones (Iowa State Triathlon Club) for workouts during the week. It will be nice to have someone push me. I canceled my Y membership since I am paying for the athletic facilities in Ames. I will actually get to swim in a nice pool - sorry Grubb Y, but your pool sucks and is disgusting.
