Great workout...

Had a great workout Tuesday night after work. There was no pressure to be anywhere and I was driving so there was no boat schedule to contend with either. Got out of work around 6 p.m. and went straight to the gym. I used on of the new Star Trac spinning trainers with the digital display. It was a great bike workout. The seat adjusts both vertically and horizontally and the handlebars just vertically so you can get down into the aero position and really simulate a ride. I got through 12 miles in about 28 minutes (not bad)... I then moved directly to a treadmill and started at a slow jog with the pace set to about 3.5 mph. My legs were a little stiff so I used the slow pace to loosen them up I then increaded to about 6.0 mph and realized my legs were hurting and I was out of breath. My heart rate was spiked at 90% - way to high, so I slowed to 4.5 - 5.0 for the rest of the run and was able to keep my heart rated steady at about 81%. The total run took about 38 minutes. I am happy with this as well.

From this week on, I am focused on splitting my workouts during the week between bricks on Tuesday and Thursday and strength on 2 of the remaining weekdays. On the weekend I will hit the pool hard and do full body workouts including riding and running outside.

The weather is getting nicer and I was up at 4:30 a.m. today... It was perfect outside for a run although I need to be at the office so I had to pass. The temperature was about 51 degrees and the sun was starting to break. I hope to start morning training soon.
