MaryStella Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 not sure if you would call them course markers. you had to run through them to the finish. There was a ring of fire that you had to run through at the finish line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 5.13.10 3 mile warmup ride on bike. then 15 rounds of 1 minute on 1 minute off. Distance = 7.49 miles a little boy asked me while I was riding. How do you go so fast on your bike? that was adorable! Did this workout with my husband so before starting this he said this is going to 30 minutes of torture and then while doing it he said. I am going to puke! how many more of these do we have to do?

MaryStella Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 Thanks Octo! I'll check it out when I get a chance. 5.15.2010 So I'm still sore today(if not more sore). My butt is not pleased when we have to sit down or stand up. Anytime weight walking lunges are involved it is usually a 3 day pain period. Im thankful today was a lite day to recover and get ready for tomorrows 10 mile run! Also it is my husbands birthday today so I have to make his birthday dinner and stuff. So it is going to be a busy day today. Shoulder Press - 45x150x155x160x165x170 x 2 - fail on both 65x165x1 Last day of the 6 week Pose running homework. I still don't have a perfect pose but I have a feeling this is something I will need to work on for awhile. I still notice the tightness in my lower back afterwards.

MaryStella Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 my husbands birthday dinner last night consisted ofPotato Chickpea EnchiladasCoconut Mango RiceBrazilian Kale 5.16.10 Ran 10 miles today - 1:43 - this is the farthest I've run probably ever in my life in one single workout. And def the farthest I've run in a long time. I haven't gone over the 10K mark in the last few years. The first 7 miles were fun. It started feeling like work around mile 8. Oddly my right shoulder (the one that had the surgery) was bothering me a decent portion of the time. Also my right foot started to go numb a bit around mile 7 too. But overall happy with it, no serious problems. Feet a little sore so ive got them in my torture ice soak right now.

MaryStella Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 yep the hand did feel as bad as I expected in the pool. More of a technique day in the pool. Did drills and a bunch of 50s working on 3 stroke bilaterial breathing and flip turns. extra pool time is good. Got my bike back today. can't wait to try out the cadence/speed function on the garmin.

MaryStella Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 5.18.10swim - 100 warmup2 rounds of 50 each of 6 beat switch, catch up, finger drag - 300 t0tal 75 - 50 second rest 1.2875 - 40 second rest 1.2875 - 30 second rest 1.2375 - 20 second rest 1.2275 1.18 125 cooldown flip turn practice - i need a 100 flip turns for time wod or something. I just don't have my timing down on these yet sometimes I completely miss the wall sometimes I don't get enough of the wall to get a good push and sometimes they are nice. One thing they are not is consistent. I would just like my fellow swimmers to know I am actually doing laps and not some kind of water dancing. how i actually got faster as the rest go shorter I have no idea. so thankful to coach jay for turning me onto the tegaderm. My hand was burning really bad in the pool or any kind of water yesterday and is now feeling much better now merely a flesh wound. Thrusters - never did these as a strength exercise before only did them in a wod for metcon. So I wasn't exactly sure where to start or where I should be with the weight so I started light and just kept working til failure. 45 x550x555x560x565x570x575x580x585x2 - failed on 3rd rep twice banana, orange, strawberry, hemp protein smoothietempeh baconvega wfo w/coconut watersmoked almondstofu, brown rice, broccoli, mushrooms, carrotsOrange Mojo Baked Tofu over millet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegankris12 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hey MaryStella, I see you drink a lot of coconut water when you are working out. I was looking around for coconut water and someone recommended I drink vitacoco. I just tried it yeterday and it tastes great, have you ever tried it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 yes kris ive used that brand for sure. it is very good although I pretty much drink any coconut water I can get my hands on depending on what the store has. Swim - 7 x 150s - rest as needed. flips turns still an adventure. sometimes good something interesting. run - 1 mile warmup followed by 1 mile time trial on road. time - 7:36 - kind disappointed with this. I know I've run faster mile splits in road races recently. I was hoping for low 7. kinda tired this afternoon/evening - looking forward to weekend hemp protein, banana, orange, strawberry, blueberry, grape smoothiesprouted cinnamon raisin bagelvega wfo w/coconut waterTofu ChicharronesCarrots, Broccoli & Cauliflowervega vibrancy barbanana, organe, strawberry, vega performance protein3 sunflower seed burgersbroccoli & hummus (really small) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryStella Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Did a 20 mile bike ride this morning that included the 16 mile Duathlon course I will be riding in June. Came home and hooked up my Garmin to the computer anxious to see what the ride looked like and It said data transfer failed. Not sure what to do or if the data is even still accessible. Maybe I will read the manual later and try to figure it out. If anyone reading this has a garmin forerunner 405 and knows what to do please comment for me! The ride was good, glad I went on the course. The first and last 1.5 miles of the course is actually flat so that will be nice coming off the 1st run and to finish up the bike portion strong. then there are some long rolling hills to climb and descend. (the joy of living in the valley of the pocono mountains) Actually saw the race director out riding the course no time to stop and chat though. Legs were tired today and lower back was tight towards the end of the ride. I have the leg wod from hell to complete later today (thanks jay). I have a feeling this will have me recovering in front of the hockey game and possibly even the mets game later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
