Time to get down to business

After the Showdown, I took Sunday and Monday off. My calves were super-sore, but nothing else was. Now it's time to really start training for the HIM.

I added my weekly workouts to the sidebar now so hopefully that'll provide more motivation for me when I can see the whole week laid out. They're in the order that I should ideally do them, but in the past I've messed around with the schedule a little so that I avoid having to run at night or swim in the morning.

So in the sprit of getting down to business, Tuesday morning I was lame and woke up late, so I chose the shortest workout from the list, a 35-minute run because I knew that was all I could squeeze in, and actually I only fit in 31 minutes. Not a good start, but I worked out in the evening too. I was planning to ride outside, but it was super windy (as in a-semi-truck-tipped-over-on-a-bridge windy) so I rode on the trainer instead. Did a 60-minute workout instead of 80 minutes, but included all 11 1-minute "hill" intervals as prescribed by my training plan, just cut the w/u and c/d a bit short.
