Monday: short lift at work,
30min easy run after work
Tuesday: Masters (!) I got
in at the warmup, and got out at the cooldown, which yeah, I get it. That’s
what you’re supposed to do, but I haven’t done that in probably over a year.
Then I did a track workout that night where Oyler the Metronome paced me
through 11 400’s. I have no idea why the
workout called for 11 of them.
Wednesday: 45min core class
at work. This makes me very sore. I also have to cheat on some of the
exercises.
Thursday: OSB interval run
in the morning. I ran this at a moderate effort since I did track on Tuesday.
Also because: Hard group ride after work. I was worried about getting dropped
but hung on for most of the ride and felt pretty good. Towards the end I was
taking my pull when all of the sudden several riders came flying by me.
Apparently I was the lead-out for the sprint. I then (mistakenly) thought that
would be the end of the hard section and we would ride in together, so I didn’t
make an effort to bridge the gap. And then they were gone to finish off the
hard section down one more road. Now I know.
Friday: swim in evening
with friend Carrie. This was tough, but
a good workout.
Saturday: Met Carrie
(again) and her husband Whit for a 40mile bike/4mile run. This was great. Not
that I felt great, but the company was great and I have literally not done a
workout that long in over 2 years. Those two went onto do another 20miles on the
bike and a 2mile run. They are going to crush Timberman. I couldn’t stay with
them on the run, either. They are so fit.
Sunday: 8mile run with Anne
Mac at a steady long run talk the whole time pace. Then play in the pool with
Logan. Wow, I was really tired by then.
I turned around and got up
for Master’s this morning (and made Carrie meet me). I felt horrible. But I got
it in and that counts for something!

Hard core Bri is what I am not now. I ride my bike for transportation and fun, and run with my dog very short with walking. (1-1/2 miles short). Everything is relative, so I would never ever in a billion years be as fast as you, but posts like this make me wonder if that spark will return.
Was it the constant injuries that made me lose it?
Been pretty healthy though this year not tryIng to overdo it.
Maybe my body is recovered.
Ha!!! Just thinking out loud as a comment on your blog. :) Sorry.
I think you're supposed to not overdo it right away when you decide to get "hardcore." Because then Week 2 is really exhausting.
