2012 is the year I get my speed back (relatively speaking). Lots of shorter distance racing, with a focus on improving overall pace and form.

  1. RUN
    alright 6 mi 00:56 09:19 pace

    Yes, not racing today was definitely the right call. It was COLD - 7 degrees, with a windchill of -11 at the start - and the YakTrax that helped keep me from landing on my rear a few times really e... read more

      Great run out there, Carrie! I definitely feel the difference when wearing Yak Trax--they make me so slow! Excellent mileage in rough conditions.

  2. RUN
    good 2.82 mi 00:25 08:45 pace

    Snooooooooow! :-) Like running in a snowglobe, all fat and fluffy flakes. I dashed out the door when I saw it starting, since they're saying maybe 3-4", and I'd rather run in fluffy falling fl... read more

  3. swim
    good 2200 yd 01:00 48:00 pace

    Broke it down into 400-yard intervals; every fourth 100, I did crawl (the rest being breaststroke). Everything felt pretty good! A little tiring, and a few twinges, but I'll get back.

  4. RUN
    good 3.65 mi 00:33 09:05 pace

    Easy, relaxed run on a mild day. A little windy going out, but not too bad, and the sun was nice. This has been such a pleasant winter, especially for Wisconsin!

  5. RUN
    great 5 mi 00:44 08:45 pace

    Treadmill repeats. Warmed up 1 mile @ 9:05 pace, then 7x400m, with jogs in between:

    4.27 mi 00:15:00 03:30 pace

    Cool-down after the run. Kept it easy and relaxed.

  7. RUN
    good 3.11 mi 00:27 08:45 pace

    Easy treadmill run after the swim. So boring, but I can't figure out a more convenient way to deal with swim/short run days. Everything felt good, though!

  8. swim
    good 1200 yd 00:30 44:00 pace

    Mixed a few 100-yard crawl intervals into the breaststroke! There was some discomfort when my arm was pulling; when it was in front or along my side, things were fine, but in the middle was touchy.... read more

  9. RUN
    good 7.03 mi 01:05 09:11 pace

    Wasn't sure, going in, whether I'd be up for a long run this morning; my throat was feeling pretty wretched last night, and I felt drained. Decided if I was anything higher than a 4 on a 1-10 scale... read more

  10. swim
    alright 2200 yd 01:00 48:00 pace

    Very tired by the end, mostly in my legs! My shoulder held up very well, but my shins and calves tightened up during the last fifteen minutes.

  11. RUN
    good 3.15 mi 00:28 08:52 pace

    Easy recovery run on the bike path. Still temperate weather today, but not nearly as nice - more damp feeling, cloudy, grey. Still, nice to run without gloves and fear of ice!

    Followed with some j... read more

  12. RUN
    good Puddle-jumping in the wind 4.07 mi 00:35 08:35 pace

    Tempo run. Warm-up, 10"@9:15, then 15"@7:58. Cool-down 10"@9:02.

    When setting up my Garmin for the workout, I went too conservative for my 10K race pace (forgot what it was and ass... read more

      I did! "Beedley-beep!" "Shut up!" "Beedley-beep!" "SHUT UP!" I'm sure I looked very mentally stable to everybody around me.

      I do the same thing with my Garmin when I completely biff the pace setting. I give it dirty looks. It continues to persevere, which reminds me to do the same in longer workouts. :)

    Scheduled to be an easy run, and I started out that way, but my headphones weren't staying put well, and after I ditched them, I started getting REALLY BORED on the treadmill, which led to bumping ... read more

    good 1700 yd 00:45 46:35 pace

    Little bit longer today. I really started to feel tired by the end. Getting my endurance back, little by little, though. :-) Can't wait to be able to crawl again someday.

    alright 00:20

    A mix of (very light) upper and lower work, with a bunch of various crunches. Feeling sort of tired today, so I'm glad it's a light day.
