May 7

Took an accounting final. It was a workout.

Also spent some time working on tomorrow's practice plan. Lame. I'll bike tomorrow morning.

May 6

Spent several hours in the middle of the night trying to get my dogs to a) vomit, b) stop vomiting, or c) leave the foxes in our yard alone so they'd stop shrieking. Didn't get up in time to work out. Bah.

Cinco de Mayo

Didn't make it to the track this morning...hopefully that'll happen on Friday morning. Hoping to lift tonight after work.

May 4

I missed spinning. The $100 craigslist purchase is the best $100 I've spent in years. Last night's 45 minute workout was great...dynamic changes in pace, position, and resistance, all to music. Sore.

Track workout for the week of May 3

Jog, active warm-up, stretch
1x400, rest 1 minute
Fartlek: 8 laps of sprinting straight-aways, jogging curves
Rest 4 minutes
1 set of 4x100, rest 30 seconds between 100s
1 set of 4x50, rest 15 seconds between 50s
Cool down, stretch

A note about the fartleks...go as slow as you need to on the curves so that you can still go 100% on the straights. Remember that our goal is to improve by achieving a high energy output.

May 3

Spinning tonight after lifting...looking forward to it.

May 1 and 2

Tryouts. Stood around and watched people work their asses off. It was tiring.
