Day 119, Week 17, Short Core [8.5min]

No twinges in pecs. Yeah!  And, added elliptical to reach 300 calories burned for the day.

Day 118, Week 17, Long Swim [2650y]

Getting through my swims.  I bit slower today.  I wonder if I'm accumulating being tired.

Day 117, Week 17, Long Core [34min]

Got through all 4 sets when minor twinges in my pecs. I think it was a little bit of strain, but nothing major.  We'll see how I am after swimming tomorrow and hopefully I'll be fine for short core on Saturday.  Followed up a bit today with elliptical to get 300 calories burned in.

Day 116, Week 17, Short Core [8.5min]

Yeah!  I got through all exercises and nothing but a ghost of a twinge on my pecs!  And, followed up with elliptical to get 300 calories burned for the day.

Day 115, Week 17, Long Run [14.5M]

Pushed to 14.6 so I'd have a distance PR.  It was a grueling day.  I ran in the afternoon which I hate because of ran in the morning.  I did check for lightning strikes in the afternoon 'cause I don't care about the ran, but...  I should've checked in the morning, but oh, well, that's fine. Next rainy morning when I think there could be lightning.  My heart rate was in the 180s and 190s most of the time, but I made it.  Next week I go to 15 miles and stay there until taper time, so I think I've got the run prepared. Yeah!

Day 114, Week 17, Short Core [8.5min]

I did ab crunch again and watched my pecs and made sure I didn't over do it and it seemed okay taking it easy, so I think I'm good getting them back in.  There was a tad bit of discomfort, but that was okay.  As that gets to feeling better, I may add back in the push-up rotation or push-ups.  I'm glad I have some progress getting my core stuff closer to back up to full steam.  I got in 260 calories worth of elliptical, so I got in 300 calories today.  Yeah!

Day 113, Week 16, Long Brick [40/2.25M]

Great ride.  PR distance surpassing the Barnsdall ride and really smashed it with more climb and speed.  Difficulty metric (speed x climb rate) this time was 926 vs 696 for Barnsdall, 33% harder.  2.25 mile run was great to @ 9:49 pace.  Feeling great with where I am.  10 weeks to go, 7 train/3 taper.
