184bpm

That is what I got my heart rate up to today. It hurt a bit, too. I did a spin this morning and did 10x1min fast, 2 min easy over the course of 60 minutes. I also needed to burn off some stress so taking my heart rate higher usually does that. I really haven't worked out the last 2 days because I've been studying for an Anatomy test. It was a good workout this morning and I'm happy with it.

Nice ride

I had a nice ride yesterday. I rode with some Texas Iron people. We did about an hour and 45 minutes. I got some nice cycling tan lines now as well. Damnit. Well, I was going to get them sooner or later. I swam with T3 this morning. I had every intent to go riding afterwards, but that didn't happen. I needed to do things around the house and my body was telling me to rest so I did. I'm about to go to bed soon and hopefully I will be able to actually sleep tonight.

Eh, my foot still hurts

Eh, my foot still hurts. Against doctor's orders, I went and did the elliptical machine today for about 30 minutes. I did it just to confirm that doing it still bothers my heel and I was write. I had to do it to make sure that I had two data points instead of just one. It looks like now all that I'm capable of doing is swimming, biking, weights and yoga. Running and elliptical are out. Bummer. However, Laurie and I have think we've found what has been keeping my heel from getting better. I'll post more about that tomorrow.

Also, I can't sleep right now even though I'm dead tired. I think I had too much sugar today in the form of Girl Scout cookies.

Hard swim

I had a hard swim last night thanks to Chrissy pushing me. I swam 3450m and my chest was hurting by half way through it. I also lifted in the morning and I find it strange but I really think that I swim better after lifting weights earlier in the day. I can't explain it. Oh, I think the 4th pair of tri shorts in 2 weeks is about to go see-through. Damnit, this is going to be expensive replacing all the shorts at once. My weigh in today was 193.5 so I'm finally start to win the Battle of the Pudge.

I got my heart rate up!

The only exercise today was a 60min spin with 10x1min fast, 2min easy. I was able to get my heart rate up to 172 or so on some of the intervals which hasn't been that high in awhile. It felt great, too. The last time I was on a spin bike my legs felt dead and tired. I had a pretty good bike workout today. My ass was a bit sore still but it is getting better. Also, I've thrown away 3 pairs of tri shorts in the last week from them being worn out and see through. I'm sure most people don't want to see an outline of my junk flopping around when I run.

Triple

Lately, I don't do a double workout that often. Maybe once or twice a week at most. School has been keeping me busy as well as the house and work so I've been taking it easy with the workouts for the most part. Yesterday was my first triple in quite a while. I lifted weights in the morning before work. Also, it was the day where I decided to increase the weight for a lot of exercises as well. At lunch was 60 minutes on the elliptical. This still made my foot sore even though it was a no impact exercise. I gotta run that by Dr. Laurie. In the evening was 2700m swim with T3. That was fun after the weights this morning. Oh, I slept like a rock last night, too.

I'm tired

Well, I went for a 2 hour ride today. It was a great day since it was sunny and about 65-70 degrees. I felt great and it wasn't bad at all. My ass didn't hurt much either. Afterwards, I was tired as hell but I felt great. Eh, that's all I have for today.

A sore ass and the taste of sweat and sunscreen

I've ridden twice in the last 2 weeks. My ass is really sore each time from the ride. That'll get better though. Each ride was about 25-35 miles so I'm getting a decent base in. I'm not going that fast though and it feels good to be back on the bike. I don't think I've lost much bike fitness either.

I swam tonight. I don't know what got into me, but I definitely felt like swimming strong tonight. I felt well the entire night and was able to push it a bit too. My shoulder felt great, too.

I ran this morning for the first time in about a month. My heel starting acting up the rest of the day. This isn't good at all. I guess I'm biking more since I can't run at the moment.
