Lots of snow, but started biking!

Hey! Im still swimming mostly and with the awful weather I skipped my Tuesday and Thursday morning workouts this week. But Im borrowing a trainer from Seth so ive gotten to jump back on the bike this weekend! Here goes the breakdown:

Friday

1400m

500: 8.34
300: 100 free, 100 breast, 100 back
300: 6 50s alternating free and back
300: 200 free, 100IM

The IM felt pretty awesome, and the butterfly especially since I do it once in a blue moon.

Sunday

Worked out

legs and arm work out
road the stationary bike for 45 min watched the Big Air competition for a bit and the Aussie Open finals. Started with an interval workout and finished with a rolling workout alternating difficulty levels, felt good to sweat again finally.

Monday

1300m

500: 8.31
300: 6 50s alternating free and back
300: 100 free, 100 breast, 100 back
200: 200 free

Thursday

1300m

500: 8.32
300m: 4:75s, back, breast, free, bastardized im
500: 8.34

Big break after a couple of ice/snow days, but I totally felt "on" today.

Friday

1400m

500: 8.30
300: 4:75s, back, breast, free, bastardized im
300: 6 50s alternating free and back
300: free 4min

felt a lot more sluggish than yesterday. but still good to be back in the water after two days off.

Saturday

Bike trainer workout. First time on a trainer, on loan from Seth. It's a magnetic trainer. Kind of noisy, but it felt great to be riding. Rode for about 45 minutes and my legs were feeling it.

Sunday

About to head downstairs and bike again...stay posted.

Ive also been attempting to work out before work on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So far Ive been partially successful once. And fully successful a second time. I will be attempting again tomorrow (Friday morning.) I use the arm and leg machines and in total end up lifting about 12,000lbs. Tuesday I rode on the bike afterwards, tomorrow id like to run a bit and maybe bike too. Well shall see if I actually get up in time.

til next time, cheerio :)
