Misc (THE DVD) 40:00 [2]
Walking warm up/down (Treadmill) 10:00 [1] 0.65 mi (15:23 / mi)
shoes: Aqua Velvet
Running (Treadmill program) 20:00 [2] 1.85 mi (10:49 / mi)
shoes: Aqua Velvet
Two hour nap put the kibosh on a outdoor hike. Well, the nap and the fact that my nose is so raw from yesterday, and it feels more raw out with the damp air and windier conditions.
Yesterday, I didn't help my runny nose issues by using a nasal spray before I went for my ride. I was thinking it would dry me up some, but it helps clear up your head. Doh!
So, a quick run after the DVD before going out to a party.
1 minute @ 5.0 6.0 5.0 5.4 6.4 mph x 4

Biking (W&OD to Vienna+) 2:48:00 [3] 30.2 mi (5:34 / mi)
shoes: Shimano Bike
Oh, those crazy meteorologists! Maryann is correct. I looked up the weather last night on the web, and it said something like snow overnight, and rain starting early on. So, I had resigned myself to the treadmill. Sometime after 6 AM, I fell back to sleep hard, and woke again at 8 AM only to discover that there was no rain. So, I dragged my sleep grouchy self into bike clothes, and I went for a ride as was my original plan before I was misled by the weather report. Temps were 33 F to start and 41 F to end.
Wore long sleeve UA, long sleeve shirt, short sleeve shirt, jacket type top which covers my butt. A little warm outbound, but this was perfect in bound. My Peal Iz... bike tights which I just love with some ointment to help protect the more tender female parts. Gloves - had to add an extra pair within the first 10 minutes. Hands were cold the last 30 minutes or so. Two pairs of heavier SW socks, and chemical toe warmers - two on each foot. I barely got this all into my shoes, but my feet were comfortable the whole time. Head covering - switched to the one which covers most of my face within 5 minutes. Worked well, but I don't like how you can not pull this one down easily to expose my mouth. Had some additional layers of a vest and shorts in the pack.
I "cruised" out to the W&OD 14 mile mark in 1:19 (15.1 miles from the house). I felt like I was flying. This was fast for me since the outbound is usually slower into the wind. Ate half a sandwich and turned around. Ah, I get it now - wind in my face. Back in 1:29 when I usually have a negative split. Felt like I was standing still at times, but I was so happy to be out!! (Even if my butt was a bit sore by the end!)
Got home and showered and to the G'Town game in time for the National Anthem - barely. Saw a decent game which GU won.
And, now we are waiting for Sarah and Matt for dinner.

Running (Wakefield track) 1:00:00 [3] 6.1 mi (9:50 / mi)
shoes: Aqua Velvet
Despite a nap after work, and the somewhat windy conditions (though not as windy as last week), I made it out the door for a run. Ran the the .3 miles to the track, and then ran continuously until I reached an hour. Wind was in face the first 100 meters down the straightaway, then somewhat neutral on the end, and then at my back on the next 100, and then neutral again.
It was getting dark, but I had my headlamp, and I was going to run there until they kicked me out, or until I got to an hour, whichever came first. But, at 30 minutes, they turned on the lights, so I was able to finish it off under the lights.
I ran in lane 6, and I felt good. Lungs were in good shape today, and my body parts as well. Laps were 245 239 236 235 239 236 238 241 238 237 240 240 238 241 242 242 243 242 243 244 243.
Odd thing when I took my shower. The water felt like it was scalding my left hand even though it was not very hot at all. Doing the dishes was painful as well. Hopefully it is just a reaction to using the hand to put Capzasin on my hips two times this last week.

Note

I am thinking of getting a bike trainer thingee to use my bike indoors. No, not rollers. Opinions appreciated.

Misc (The DVD) 40:00 [2]
Before dinner.
Walking warm up/down (Treadmill) 8:00 [1] 0.5 mi (16:00 / mi)
shoes: Aqua Velvet
Half as a warm up and half as a cool down.
Running (Treadmill) 54:15 [3] 5.0 mi (10:51 / mi)
shoes: Aqua Velvet
After the DVD, I did dinner (heated up butternut squash soup and grilled cheese), ate with Roger, then about 40 minutes later, I decided to run.
Did one of my favorite things on the treadmill. After warm up, did .25 mile each at 4.6, 4.8. 50...6.2, 6.2, 6.0...5.0 mph. I couldn't go any slower on the back end, so I did 1 more mile at 6.0 mph to finish it off. Felt good. I was slightly afraid that I was going to barf but only had a few burps to contend with.
