solid intensity
another good weekend in the books. friday night was pizza night - after putting calvin to bed i went for a run. now that he has a normal bed it is tough not falling asleep. and if you do, good luck getting anything else done the rest of the night. i got a nice 6 mile run in and felt ok doing. i'm glad i have no lasting effects of my pulled calf muscle.
saturday was boys day. cal and i went to watch the black star drum line at concerts in the rotunda. i must admit it was pretty awesome. i wanted to go to breakfast for lunch but cal vetoed it - he wanted mac and cheese at noodles. saturday was the peak of his cold so it was difficult to keep him happy from time to time but i really enjoyed the day. later on i logged a trainer session with some intervals thrown in. while on the trainer, i watched this year's world cup at koksijde in its entirety. man sven nys is something. he just kind of dangles all race and then cranks it up at the end. definitely my favorite belgian.
sunday for me was an 'off' day. not off from riding, but just never felt like i woke up. crabby, not making great decisions, just off. we did take calvin to see santa and for the first time in his life he appeared to enjoy it. i rode the badger trail which was in great condition considering the rain/snow we've gotten the past week or so. i'm in the midst of a solid block of training - extending tonight, normal commute tomorrow and then maybe extending wednesday ahead of predicted snow. then, it looks like my days of riding outdoors may be done. i'm seeing predictions of anywhere from 6 to 18 inches depending on the track. we'll see i guess. if we do get snow i sure hope it is a lot - i'd really like to be able to add skiing to my training.
m: 0 (rest day)
t: 0 (rest day)
w: 1:30 (commute, add on)
r: 1:10 (commute)
f: 0:45 (run)
s: 1:00 (trainer w/intervals, 5x3 min 'hard' w/equal rest)
n: 1:45 (badger trail)
total: 6:10
OK considering i took two whole days off. and now, the stretch run. i've got reviews to finish/give, i've got project planning to do for the rest of the year and i've got to see if the snowblower still starts!
happy monday.
