Thursday:
Bike: 38 miles; Run: 8 miles; Weights: lower body; Core Power Yoga

With the big storm coming, again, I planned to get my workout in as soon as possible today.  I started on the bike around 9, and finished the brick workout about 1:30.  The bike went smooth.  I did all my mileage on the cranks.  Then for the run, i went outside.  It was rainy, cold and the ground still had patches of ice and snow.  One street I ran on was all snow, even most of the sidewalk.  I had 4 miles to do in z3, and I ran on my mile repeat course.  I felt real strong.  Cramped up for the first 1.5 miles, but kept breathing into my stomach and didn’t take on any more fluid, and they slowly went away.  I should say that were minimized, not completely gone.  I felt i could run another 4 miles at that pace, maybe more.

I shot off to the gym as soon as I took in some nutrition, and did a lower body workout.  I haven’t done one all week, so i’m sure i’ll pay a little for it tomorrow.  And, with the snow here now, I just got in a session of Core Power Yoga to mainly help me stretch and loosen my hips and hamstrings.  About an hour of stretching and core work, I feel good.  Not totally worked, so that’s good.

Not sure what my plans are for tomorrow with the snow falling heavily now.  The Rec Centers are probably closed, that rules out my swim.
