Training, training, training :)

Tuesday Morning
30 min “easy” run on the treadmill. 3.2 miles
It’s funny how not “racing” lol can change your HR. Even though I didn’t race the Shamrock 15k my HR was elevated between 178-183 for a little over an hour. This affected my run today. I did my easy pace 6.3-6.5 with a .5 incline, usually my HR stays between 142-148, today it was 10 bpm higher avg’ing 150-160. It was annoying, but I still kept my pace slow.

Followed up by swim

Ugh, the iron hates me. I haven't lifted for two weeks and I know my chest and back will be fatigued tomorrow.
Oh well I'm not down cause my multi sport is kicking ass yo!

Forgot to post Saturday's workout.
Hill repeats up at Mt. Tabor. Not as challenging as I had hoped. I guess there is a time and a place for everything and will wait for the challenge either A. when it is on my training schedule or B.when it decides to suprise me. No longer will I act like I know what's best and push my self to the limits; unless it's called for.
