Weekend of training...

`He's still here...he's still rolling...Having survived my crazy drive to Louisiana last weekend, I was able to jump right back into training without skipping a beat...and that's not to say that Louisiana was an 'off' weekend, as I was able to run and workout while I was there, though I did have to take Friday and Monday off cuz I was driving.
Tuesday-Thursday were solid days...2:15 brick on Tuesday, 7+ mile trail-run on Wednesday with Speedy and 2:15 on the trainer at LifeTime on Thursday.
Friday January 20th:  Friday's are Gear West group run days...this morning we did just a hair over an hour...Tom, Jan, Speedy and I hit the snow covered trails early...what a great run with good company.
Friday evening, core...yummy.
Saturday January 21st:  I agreed to meet Tony for a little 8 mile run this morning...early, though I guess 'early' is relative...9:00 a.m. is early for me...7:30 it was.  I ran from home to LifeTime where I met Tony and we ran 8+ miles at 7:40ish pace....and then I ran home.  legs were showing me NO love this morning...it should NOT have been that much work :(
Oh, and did I mention it was butt-ass cold?  Weather.com said it was -7 before I left, though it did warm up to -2 by the time we were done.  Funny, -7 and NO wind doesn't seem that bad...I was definitely over-dress...I was shedding clothes faster than a stripper in Vegas...
Solid core and lifting PM.
Sunday January 22nd:  Boy, these early morning workouts are killing me...doesn't anyone workout at 11 or noon anymore?  No wonder we all go to bed at 8:45...
Met Tony at LT Minnetonka for a 2+ hour ride...2 classes back2back.  Sat off to the side and did our own thing, and what a solid workout.  Rode in aero for the first 1:15 and then upped the ante with continuous hills and spins.  Legs felt so strong and alive today, could have ridden all day, but alas, 2:15 is all I had time for...
The second hour class was supposed to be an '80's' class, but none of the music was anything that I listened to in the 80's...Falco, Irene Cara, Cindy Lauper, Bonnie Tyler, Starship...really?  ...that was the softest 80's set I have ever ridden to...but that being said, great class(?) and a solid workout.
Finished the day with core and lifting...again...and I even stretched when I was done...I know, crazy, huh?   
Felling strong and ready to rumble...
