Suckah For Pain

Sick 1 hour bike ride today. Couldn't stand the heat of the bike room again so we went outside. Trevin and Will literally talked about girls for the entire hour. #thirsty. 

The workout today was:

5 min med

2 min sprint

4 min med

1 min sprint

5 min med

3 min sprint

We were only supposed to do one set but I did two to get an hour total. After we got done biking, Will, Trevin, James, and I all went and penguin slid down the marching band hill. It wasn't a contest to see who went farther... but if it was, I won.

We also had weights today.

12, 8, 6 squats -- 135, 145, 165

single leg dead lifts -- 25 lbs and 15 reps on each leg

1 min calf raisers x 3 with 40lbs

10 on each leg lunges - 45lbs, 50lbs, 60lbs

10 min abs

gr8 day

The comeback began today.

1 min run

4 min walk

x6. Total of 30 minutes.

Today was a speed workout. On the bikes it was:

90 sec sprint

45 sec easy

45 sec sprint

3 min easy

x6

I was a little thrown off today. I could've pushed myself harder but I was thinking about the effort too much. I refocused by thinking about what I wanted my first speed workout to look like. Hopefully with all the work I'm putting in the leg speed will come naturally. Total of 40 minutes because I had to be done at 3 to go see a Physical Therapist about the MRI. Got in the necessary work though.

Today was a sick stationary bike ride with Collin, one of the original members of the cripple crew, and Kobe. It was just a simple distance ride with no intervals. We were supposed to keep our heart rates below 160 and my max heart rate was exactly 159. Perfect. Total of one hour on the bikes.

The run walk today was another 1 min run and 4 min walk x6 for 30 minutes total. The paces were a lil faster than they should've been. They ranged anywhere from 5:33-5:57. I keep meaning to slow down but it's hard to hold back after being cooped up for so long. 

I just wrote a sick entry for today but it got deleted when I tried to post it... *sigh.... First it was a 55 minute session on the stationary bike. I wore my heart rate monitor and my average heart rate was 163. Max was 180.

Next I went on a 24 mile bike ride with my homie Ryan Raff. We went on the Jordan River trail and went toward Salt Lake. It was uncharted territory so it was definitely full of hype yells. The sunset was once in a lifetime too so that made it without a doubt the best ride I've ever been on. The pace was like 4:20 because the Distance Challenge was the next day, but I split a 2:47 on the way to his house. Total of about 3 hours biking today.

At like 8:30 I did a 30 min run walk. 1 run, 4 walk. x6. Succeeded in holding back the pace this time. 6:04 - 6:46. Great day.

Today was 1 min pickups with one minute rest x10. I would usually do x20 to fill up the hour on the bikes but my legs were just way too hammered to do that after a day like yesterday. Settled for the workout Jamie gave us and just did an extended cooldown to hit 1 hour. Did an additional ten minutes at the ice oval to get 70 total for the day. 

The run walk today was 1:30 run with 3:30 walk x6. My upper right hamstring was bugging me a little bit today but it went away after a little rolling out. The first minute thirty was slow like a 7:50 pace because I ran with Thom and Dallin who just raced but the rest of it was from 6:13-6:52. It felt smooth today. Made me miss running even more.

Woke up at 6:30 to go aqua jogging but didn't even wake up until 6:50. I struggled so hard to drag myself to the pool it's ridiculous. I only ended up aqua jogging for 30 minutes today though because my hamstring was bugging me enough that it was hurting more than helping. I think I strained it a little. I'll go in for astym on monday and I think that'll fix it right up. I did 20 minutes of biking later for a total of 50 minutes. The run/walk didn't happen today to prevent making my hamstring from getting any worse. Also shoutout to Watson for being a great Sweethearts date!
