Swap ski with hike due to weather conditions and work needed to be done at home.
Very windy but pleasant walk in and around Uetliberg.

Swimming 40:00 [3] 1.6 km (25:00 / km)
For the first time I enjoyed swimming. It was a beautiful day outside and the sun got through to the swimming pool :-D Pool was very crowded as 4 lanes were reserved (2 for ewz training and 2 for a 12-hour marathon!!).
The different drills helped me to get my mind away from swimming and into the drills. Enjoyed the fist drill. Right and alternate breath: disaster for the first 200, much better for the second one.
(Which Total Immersion book would you recommend to start with?)

Running (Tabata Run) 20:00 [3]
OK. Next time I need to do this outside town as I have the feeling that people got a bit scared when they saw me running like crazy for the 20" :-D
Kept running at very slow pace for the 10". Is that right?

Strength (Urban Jungle Gym) 30:00 [3]
Who needs a gym when there are so many things around ones own house? :-D Excellent workout, enjoyed (and suffered) it a lot. Just some thoughts:
- Stairs - Used stairs with (12+small rest+12 steps) and went up 5 times.
- Sometimes needed more than 3 minutes between stations to loose my legs.

Note
(sick)
Woke up with a cold: blocked nose, headache and muscle pain. I don't normaly get colds but I guess that the last two weeks (with little sleep) are catching up on me.
Feeling a bit better through the day but decided to move training to tomorrow.

Running (Track) 30:00 [3]
1 mile - 6' 54'' - 107% Max Heart Rate
800 meters - 2' 58 - 110% Max Heart Rate
I found it quite difficult to get to the right pace, completely unaware where my running pace limits are. For both distances, I thought I could go faster, I was a bit frustrated after it. The 800 m to recover felt a bit too long, as was completely recovered on the first 400 meters.
I was my Birthday!! :-D

Yoga 1:30:00 [3]
Thanks for suggesting this!! Attended the class and thought it was great. I really believe that this is going to help me a lot. Would once a week be enough?

Swimming 1:00:00 [3]
Again I suffered and didn't enjoy the swimming training. I feel like swimming in "solid" water, and I am not only go very slow but I think I am not swimming in the right way.
Any recommendation for books/videos here? Total Immersion?
ATW - We need to postpone this kind of exercise until I get the all clear from the PT. She has given me alternative exercises but at the moment she recommends that I do not do this!!

Swimming (Baseline Measurement) 35:00 [3]
Move the training to Friday.
Friday: my body was once again completely stiff. I did suffer from the first minute till the last one and only managed to get to 650 meters. I was not physically tired but specially my shoulders and arms were as hard as a rock.
15 minutes - 650 meters
After this is was difficult for me to get any speed on the tests:
50m - 46 seconds
100m - 1' 44''
200m - 3' 42''
I think I should repeat this test in a couple of weeks!!

Running (Tempo Run) 35:00 [3]
Went for a run early before my PT appointment. Love it!! although realised that my trainers soles are wore out so I would need a new pair (if not two) of trainers...any advice there? I am a big Asics fan but happy to hear an recommendations. I am thinking about a pair for training and maybe a lighter one for competition and specific sessions.

Swim: Disaster!! My body and specially my mind were not there at all, so after a while I decided to "call off the day" and do test today, Friday. I would be happy to hear your thoughts on this (i.e. me bending the rules a bit) :-D

Running 30:00 [3]
I did enjoy the run a lot. It was great to be out.
100s: didn't understand if I had to record the time. Sits ups: asked my PT and she recommend not to do them but we have now gone through an alternative exercise (much much slower if time counts!!). I assume we will have to repeat this test!!
