My winter training is started and I'll be updating my online training diary again. To prevent over-htmling myself by trying to update too many things each day, my weekly feature this week (and this week only) will be my workouts.
| Day | Workout | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday November 8, 1998 |
Workout: Rollers 7:00-8:00PM Rode about 15-20 miles in about 50 minutes on medium and low resistances. |
Waaaay out of shape. I am motived to train, though. I need to work on getting cold air into my room. I'm sweating too much. |
| Monday November 9, 1998 |
Nothing Monday I'm scheduled to do nothing. |
It may seem strange that I take a day off just two days into the program, but I'm actually more than 9 days into it, I just haven't been folowing the schedule. I'm following the schedule from now on, though, so today I have off. |
| Tuesday November 10, 1998 |
Circuit training at the SERF 1:00-2:00PM Did three circuits of my favorite machines. |
I was supposed to do upperbody and lowerbody workouts today, but
I've forgotten how those work, so I just did circuit training,
which can't be all that different. Next time I'll have to bring
my info sheets from last year so I can do it right. Besides that, I felt stronger than last time and prettg good overall. Especially since I'm still coughing from that cold. |
| Wednesday November 11, 1998 |
Rollers 6:30-7:30PM 1 hour around zone 2 low resistances |
I listened to NPR and thought about chemistry and the time just flew by. I've almost got my fan the way I want it, which is helpful. I am constantly reminded how out of shape I am. |
| Thursday November 12, 1998 |
Circuit training at the SERF 12:30-1:30PM Did three circuits of my favorite machines and rode the stationary bikes. Didn't move up in weight, but did 15 reps with most of them, whereas before I would usually do 10-12. |
I looked on my info sheets from last year and it turns out that general circuit training is legitimate for the transition phase, which is what I think I'm in now. I didn't feel as strong as last time, but am surely improving, since I did more repetitions. A little more tired and stiff afterwards. |
| Friday November 13, 1998 |
I am supposed to have off again today, so I went and played racketball with Hari |
Had a good time, racketball's fun. |
| Saturday November 14, 1998 |
Outside ride 3:00-5:00 Rode around Lake Mendota with Hari 22 miles 12.8 mph average about 1 hour, 45 minutes |
It was a windy day and getting chilly. I was wishing I'd worn gloves. We went a bit slower than I thought we would. I'm counting this as my 2 hours in zone 2 which was actually supposed to be tomorrow's workout. I'll do the 1 hour in zone 3 that I was supposed to do today on Sunday. |
