Thursdays with Mitch

auggiesdad — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:16:59 +0000

Our swim can be found on Mitch’s blog.
My time trial for 500 was 9:07 = 1:49/100yd*. (* = used pull buoy). Felt really good this morning, except when I kick…I don’t kick, so when the workout calls for “swimming” it’s actually hard for me, (I usually use a pull buoy, which means I don’t kick, legs just float). And then, to top it all off, the workout called for “Kick 100 no board”…which, we changed up to “kick 50 with board”. I think I need to work up to kicking without pulling and not using a kick board.

Total time of workout was about 45 minutes, but that includes “rests” and “read” time.

For my last swim of the year, it felt pretty good.

Thanks Mitch, for letting me drag you to the pool again this week!

Follow up fit

auggiesdad — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:51:03 +0000

Since I added aero bars and had a little mishap with the seat awhile back, I decided I’d eek in to the bike shop and have my original bike fit reviewed and see if anything needed “tweaking” before I actually did hang her up for the winter…And, because the sun is shining and such a glorious day, I decided I’d ride it from the Y to the bike shop…I promise, last ride of the year.

Reach and Roll workout

auggiesdad — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:14:20 +0000

the 1800 yrd reach and roll workout I posted awhile back, (if I can find it, I’ll post it up again). Then I decided to run through the first 1000 of it again just for fun.

The pool was actually quite crowded. Mitch had the “brilliant” idea of getting there at doors open, which I responded to with a “I might be a little late”…(which, of course I wasn’t), but he was the first in the pool, getting us a lane, thankfully, as the pool filled up quite quick after that.

Had a few 100’s in the 1:35-1:40 range, which feels really good. smooth and long glides.

Now its off to wake the fam and get the little one on the bus. What a great way to start the day!

Honey Do list complete…BRB

auggiesdad — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:24:03 +0000

Had the leaves raked by 11 and worked on some other things…Decided that the weather was just way too nice to sit around and do more fall clean up things and decided it was time to eek out one last ride of the year.
Logboom here I come!
20 out, 20 back. Really felt in a grove. Almost had a head on colision with 2 really big dogs that decided it might be kinda fun to eat some rooster. Other than that, it was a quite peaceful ride.

A very nice way to end the year on Felty.

Will run for Ladro

auggiesdad — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:20:01 +0000

Yum!

Met with the usual suspects and E, and we ran the Sam River trail and back to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow…Ladro to Wilmont. This trail never gets boring. The slough sure was flowing high and mighty.

I’ve never…

auggiesdad — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 00:10:16 +0000

…taken a cold shower after a run…but, thanks to her inspirational post, I had to run. I had NO EXCUSE to sit inside and wait for my sons bus…So, I dawned my new Brooks happy feet, my new Brooks happy vest, and my ‘feet of flames’ play list and ran…Why? Because I CAN!. It wasn’t long, but, it is what I could squeeze in before the bus came.
Thanks to my friends at sweat for inspiring me to get out there and run…

So…Why haven’t YOU run today? What’s your EXCUSE!

Its all about the shoes

auggiesdad — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:50:06 +0000

My workout motivation has been lacking lately. I know why, and I’m fine with it. This morning it was completely lacking, but, I still dragged my butt to the gym. I had ZERO idea of what my workout was going to be this morning until I walked into the cardio room at the Y and looked around. I didn’t feel like riding the stationary bike, both Spin bikes were taken (coughcough), the treadmill and I don’t get along so well anymore, those eliptical thingies scare me, and I just wasn’t quite ready to hit the Strider…So, I did some weights…I guess that woke me up. Then I hit the strider for 20 mins with 2 min intervals of high/low intensity. But the best part was the “refueling” after the Y….yum.

Whats that orange bulb thing in the sky shining down? I thought we weren’t supposed to see that again until July 5th…Its good to see the sun!
