Running Late

I ran late in the day. It was the regular Wilson Bridge south route; 4 out and 4 back. It was interesting because usually it is dark on the way out and light on the way back. This was the opposite; light out, dark back. It was 33 degrees and the air was heavy so there were lots of car fumes hanging in the air with 315 and 161 rush hour traffic. I didn’t get home until after 7:00 and then had dinner. Rotolo’s Pizza is so good, must be 2 lbs of cheese on this thing.

I did leg work (squats, walking lunges, one-legged dead lifts, bosu ball balance) then a Core Fitness Class at Lifetime on Wednesday night. J-Fo peeked in and got a good laugh. It was brutal. The class was 30 minutes but I was hurting after the first 10 minutes. I need to do that more often.

Going to try to get a little strength workout with J-Fo sometime today if we can work it in but no running. J-Fo is gym rat. He'll be a monster by April. Today was the last masters swim group. We'll take a little break until after the Holidays. GS is 0 for the last 2 months. He claims he is swimming at lunch but we'll find out in the spring. If you want to give it a try, here it is:

300 warm up
3 x ([50 on 1:00][100 on 2:00][150 on 3:00][100 on 2:00][50 on 1:00])
2 x 50 (max pace) with 1:00 recovery
200 cool down

We’ll do our group run in the morning. Probably something like this: “Let’s take it easy and go 12 miles or so.”…(wait for it) …“Seems like we picked it up a bit at the turn around.”. Hopefully we’ll get our first peek at Double-D in his marathon return training.

Funny blurbs from Lance Armstrong’s Twitter. I’m officially addicted to this.

lancearmstrong: Driving back from the shop after riding 4 hours. I hear the drug testers are waiting at the house. #11... (about 16 hours ago from TwitterBerry)
lancearmstrong: UCI control. They flew a guy from Germany for it. That makes a ton of sense. (about 15 hours ago from web)
lancearmstrong: Btw, this control was for blood AND urine. (about 15 hours ago from TwitterBerry)
