Week of January 22nd, 2007

I'm having "the best week ever!" I haven't seen that show in while on VH1. I'll have to check my DVR tonight. I got all my pop culture info from it.

Monday:
Solid 2 hour ride and 40 minute run

Tuesday:
Excellent 3600yrd swim and hour run trying to keep up with faster Ironheads uphill!

Wednesday:
Good trainer session with Julie followed by a Trun. Hip flexors a little tight from the high cadence work in aero on the TT bike. I plan to do all the trainer sessions on my TT bike. And if the weather holds on Saturdays, those rides will also be on the TT bike. I did upper body weights at lunch

Thursday:
3100yrd swim at lunch with an hour run (some hill repeats by Duniway track) after work. Also went to see "Stranger than Fiction." Not bad, funny at times, but also a bit slow.

Friday:
Yoga after work followed by a quick ride. I also plan to patch some tubes tonight. I had three flats the other weekend, not fun!

Saturday:
5 hour, 75 mile, 6500' ascent and two county signs! Great ride. I rode out to the hosts house on top of Mt. Scott, nice little 1000' warm-up climb. We had awesome views of Mt. Hood allday riding in east county out towards Sandy. A bit windy and never really was at our backs until climbing back up to their house. We found a new bike path that goes straight up the backside, brutal! I missed my swim before the ride though. I started to get a sharp pain on the outside of my left knee towards the end, too much climbing i think. I foam rolled, iced and ibuprohened before bed. I was a little worried about running, but it doesn't hurt to run...

Sunday:
Meet some folks at Forest Park for the two hour run. We ran out to Saltzman, up to Wildwood for the return. I was getting grumpy and inpatient after 2 hours, so we dropped down on Alder Trail. It was 1.5 miles back to the gate still. I wanted Dogwood (.5 miles back), but couldn't wait. Ended up being 2:15 run, about 16 miles we guessed. Knee only hurt slightly when going downhill fast. Thats good. As i rode the fixie to the gym later to lift, after my run, it still hurt, just the motion, I was pedaling with only my right leg! I couldn't do leg press or squats, all other excersises were fine.

Summary:

Planned Time 22:15
Actual Time 21:21
Swim Distance 6700
Bike Distance 131 - this seems so low...
Run Distance 41.1

Week of January 15th, 2007

I'm not sure what my problem this week was, but I didn't get done what I needed to. I had an 8 hour workout on Saturday - hour swim, 5 hour bike, hour run and hour weights. I got it done and felt good about it. I think between four days in Vegas off, a day or two around the snow and ice, I had recovered enough to get through this well. Also, I made it a point to eat and keep eating throughout the day. I did notice that after lifting lower body, running home was not the issue I thought it would be. Seems throwing up all that weight makes my body weight nothing while running...

Workout review:
Planned Time 21:15
Actual Time 14:41
Swim Distance 9400
Bike Distance 100
Run Distance 29.2

Week of January 8th, 2007

This week sucked! Four days of trade show, four nights of drinking and meeting industry people and customers. It was a very tiring week, I didn't get a workout in until Friday...

Celebrity sightings: Mark Leinart at the hotel (Wynn). Texes Instrument party there was Joe Theisman, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikmen, Emmit Smith, Cheryl Hines, Racheal Hunter, Sandra Bernhart, Julian Barbarie (pregnent), Carolyn (Apprentice Asst), the black guy and Puerto Rican from "Prison Break," Cory Dillion, John Salley and maybe someone else, can't remeber. It was fun. Racheal was super hot and a bitch, Cheryl was tiny and attractive and really nice. Troy could have cared less to be there. Oh, AC Slater was a no show - I think Dancing with the Stars went to his head...

Also Mad Mike from Pimp My Ride came by our booth. He put one of our projectors in a car last season...he wants to do some more things like that.
