Note

Training fail today - we went State Parking and got a bit lost: a combination of awful ct dep maps, no trail blazes, and no footfalls in the snow. We did lots of trudging through occasionally mid thigh deep snow, and it was a lot of fun on another gorgeous day, but definitely too tired to train now. Back to the start of the five again! One day, I will finish this set.

Note

Mega weekend of CT A to Z action ahoy!

We should try to make a sprint map of the area around Gillette Castle I think.

Running 46:23 6.47 km (7:10 / km) +144m 6:27 / km
ahr:162 max:177 shoes: Pink cohesions

Spring! There may be snow on the ground but there was warmth in the breeze today, the sunshine was incredible and it was a wonderful day to be outside. Meant to run the blue along the ridge but cleverly left my O shoes at home and wasn't going to attempt it in trainers. Even the road was fun, a bit squidgey and cushioned but only hard going on the uphill bits.

Mmmmm. When I got home, Rob AND ROSIE were chilling in the garden. This is quite a development.

C • I like the new development 2

Yesterday I felt like I was fending off a cold. Today I have to do tissue culture and the roads are not clear, so I guess it's run into work time! Still not sure about that cold...

8 AM

Running 40:10 6.51 km (6:10 / km) +114m 5:40 / km
ahr:157 max:173 shoes: Integrators 5000

The run in this morning was lovely, despite getting soaked with icy slush from a tandem crew of ploughs that went past. It hurt too, slush flung in your face at 40mph. Thanks guys. But once I hit East Rock the snow was soggy and decorating the trees beautifully, and the running was easy considering
.

The walk home however was grim - much wetter and slushier, and feeling much colder. Glad to be back inside again, with cells safely split in their incubators at work.

Cross Fit 57:06 1.0 km (57:06 / km) +6m 55:26 / km
ahr:127 max:189

Aerobic session now. 3 x 8 minute intervals, mixture of rowing, KB deadlifts, airdyne, box jumps, double unders and running. Good training, not too difficult.

Running 40:31 7.12 km (5:41 / km) +71m 5:25 / km
ahr:158 max:174 shoes: Pink cohesions

Easy run home. Not very pleasant next to Whitney but good to loosen up.

Cycling 22:02
ahr:134 max:167

To Cross Fit. Wind in my face and bike in definite need of a wash and oil.

Cross Fit 49:40 0.48 km (1:42:50 / km) +1m 1:41:47 / km
ahr:136 max:188

Elizabeth (21-15-9) with full cleans (55#) and burpees instead of dips. This was tough! 7.04. Should probably go up to the intermediate weight now. Followed by 2 mins easy row, then 5 mins of 30 secs on 30 secs off. Still not good enough at rowing to really get out of breath, but my technique is improving. It helped that only two of us turned up this morning so we got lots of coaching from Mo. Ended with 50 sit ups with butterfly legs. Good workout and happy to go after two days of feeling uninspired.

Cycling 17:38
ahr:140 max:159

And home. Wind behind me this time, much better.

Running 40:07 6.87 km (5:51 / km) +136m 5:19 / km
ahr:164 max:181 shoes: Pink cohesions

Then run into work with a big bag. Unsurprisingly a little tired for this, but the woods were clear for the first time and there are green bits sticking out of the ground everywhere! The sunshine was glorious and I was happy to get out before the next storm arrives tomorrow. Run past Galactogogue at the end, who seemed to be thinking the same thing. Had a minor balsamic acid incident in East Rock which had to be sorted out, then into work with few issues after that.

C • balsamic acid? 7

Had a wonderful evening out in NYC on Saturday but am totally wrecked as a result. Very little drinking but too way too long to get home, then my friend Anne's spare room was a sauna. I'm taking an extra day to recover. Very Swedish evening - dinner at Smorgas Chef (lovely), then watching Deer Tracks (from Gavle). Apologies for all the missing accents in that very short sentence!
