Week ending june 19th, 2010

Last week I did not get alot of training in. I did not ride my bike at all; I did two swims and a couple of hot yoga classes and that was it. I have been doing races almost every weekend since mid may so it won't hurt me to take it a bit easy. I did the 5 k Deltaware race on saturday and may have had my fastest 5 k ever- 19min 50 seconds. I think i have done around 20 mins a few times in the past but i can't recall breaking 20 minutes very many times. It was great although it was definitely a bit out of my comfort zone. On Sunday, I did hot yoga and then today, Monday, I went for an hour bike ride this morning from New Glasgow over to Cavendish and done around North Rustico. This evening, I did hot yoga again. I weighed myself at my doctors office this week when I was there for a checkup and I was 150. He checked my bodyfat and it was 7.5 percent. That is the lightest I have been in my adult life (i would say in about the past 30 years) which is certainly something when I stop and think about it. I am definitely feeling good physically and also mentally. I am happy with my training and doing things that I like to do when I want to do them. (although i am not the only one who i am sure feels that way. i did get passed near the finish of the 5 k race on saturday by a very fit guy who is 3 years older than me.)

Tomorrow, I plan to swim in the am and run after work but we will see how my day goes. Wednesday, i am hoping to bike to and from work from New Glasgow.
