Got in my 30 minutes in the chair this morning ... Planned 6-8K paced run later this afternoon, as my final shake-out run before Sunday's ATB 30K in Hamilton, on the schedule ...

Other than that, I got nuttin' ...

Have a great and chilly day, everyone ...

Got some pyramid intervals to do today....maybe pool, maybe spin bike...I really should be doing them in the pool, as my toes are still feeling bashed up from my badly fitting bike shoes (that I'm returning today)....but it's so cold, I hate going to the pool when it's so cold out. (Before I get any wisecracks, yes the pool is inside but I'm always damp coming out - brrrrrrr.)

And, really annoyingly out-of-the-way sports doc appt this afternoon to get my 'official' results from my bone scan, even though I already know what it is. Ugh, what a pain.

So, so tired again this morning. No run for me. Brought my gear to head to the gym after work today. Plan is to do 5-6K on the TM with 3-4K at 1/2M race pace.

Good Luck ATB'ers. Eazy 45min/9.1km with Pup this morning. Strength at lunch.

Best of luck to all those Hamilton-bound

I have 3 X 4000m with 3-4 min rest jog later this afternoon -- can't wait to let the legs fly!! -- really nice day here in Ottawa, albeit a little cool....

Tae-box at lunchtime.

We're hitting the road after dinner, can't wait to do ATB this year!

I'm on my own for a few days while the family is away visitting grandparents, so I'm moving my early morning runs to the evening for a change. Got 19K with 11@LT on the schedule for this evening- I'll sleep well tonight!

Then you still time to sneak off to Hamilton for 30K Around the Bay on Sunday, Erin .. :shifty:

Those are huge repeats Sylvie!! Is that a tempo broken up?

Got in my swim after work in a not-too-crowded pool - 2000m done.

and today....the angels are singing.....because it's a REST DAY! wu-whoo!

eme · Postby **eme** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:01 am

I ended up taking yesterday as a rest day, we had a retirement luncheon for a co-worker so that meant no swim.

Rather than doing my bike workout yesterday (it was supposed to be a double day), I did the bike this morning (up at 0515hrs, ugh) and will swim at lunch today.

I feel 100% better for taking the rest day - I was pretty tired yesterday (long training week).

Yippee, it's Friday!

I think the weather gods might be smiling down on me for next week and I might be able to get some bike commuting in. It's still too cold (for me) to do any lengthy cycling, but my commute is only 15 minutes, so I think I can handle the cold for that long.

Easy 15K, still waiting for the temperatures to change sign.

To the gym!

bruyere · Postby **bruyere** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 9:50 am

Did a total of about 6km yesterday, first half with the clinic, and then a partial run home (which was halted due to difficulties!).

Today's looking like a rest day, as I don't feel like gathering up stuff to bring to work, and I've plans after work.

2000m swim bright and early - felt great!

Two more sleeps and I am Lake Tahoe and Reno bound. Cannot wait!!!!!!!!

Seems like a million years since I have done this, but here goes!

Today was yoga, P90X style, whilst the shortest person watched Go Diego Go in the other room.

Four workouts this week. I'm going to consider this week a success.

Happy Friday!

A ride on the bike to nowhere for me...
Good luck, and have fun at the ATB all you Maniacs! (Fingers crossed for the weather on Sunday!)

Of course we remember you Dani! Also love your photography samples on FB. Welcome back here.

I don't always update in the daily thread but here goes: just an easy one today in prep for tomorrow's race. It won't be pretty out there today or tomorrow, but I'm ready!!
