Training Log: AliC

Ok, mostly succeeded in last week's goals. This week:

- Monday Pilates
- 10 min of core *on my own* both W and F
- 4 days of at least 4 mile runs, with at least one run of over 6 miles

And first > 4 mile run in! Nice sunny day. Rain apparently starts on Wed, so gotta soak it in.

Pilates

Third cyclocross race. Funtimes! Actually felt like I was racing this time because the course wasn't crazy technical and I wasn't spending all the time just getting my feet in and out of the pedals! Finished in 8th out of 21, 3 min back from the winner in the women's singlespeed division, 2 min back from 2nd.

We brought Sylvia so she could take notes on the little tykes with bikes on the Kiddiecross course. She played a bunch on her in-house quadcycle afterwards, woo! But her legs are still too short to give the outdoor pedal-less bike a try...

After STEMGems brunch at Lewis & Clark, went for an easy run around the Riverview trails, since I was right there. They were gorgeous and much, much, much drier than last time I went. I succeeded in running 3 miles in my Toms (forgot actual running shoes), while last time I fell several times in trail shoes, slipping around.

Friday circuits!

Little lunch joggeroo. Trying to cautiously come back from the great sore throat illness. Breathed through my nose the whole time so as to irritate the throat less and took it super-duper easy. Nice to get out on a nice fall day!

Last day of lab! I have learned *so* much electronics this semester. Hopefully my students have too... just last set of 21 lab reports to grade and I am much more free!!

Also lectured on the Horizon Problem and Flatness Problem of our Universe and why they point to inflation today. Always piques the curiosity...

Woo! Pilates round 2 for the week. Really did a lot of ab work at the beginning. Great to get in, I'm crap at doing it on my own.

10 min on the super-elliptical, stayed in to breathe warm air.
