weekly update

Saturday, October 21
37 minutes run around the seawall. A muscle in Scott's leg went kaput when we got to Science World so we ended up walking back in the cold. It was a beautiful sunny day but when we were not running, it was chilly. In the afternoon, we went to the climbing gym. I conquered my nemesis again (!!), and I found a new one.

Blessed sweet nothing

45 minutes stairmill, level 7 steady. It was painful getting to the gym though. I woke up just after 6am, and didn't get to the gym until almost 7am, which is quite frankly ridiculous.

Run clinic - 7.5 km run. I like how running in a group pushes me to run faster than I normally would. It was cold and clear last night, and the city looked amazing from the North Shore. I also rode to and from the seabus, so I got a few clicks in on the bike. It was crazy windy last night so, although I was pushed by the wind quickly over the bridge, it was hard work coming back into the headwind. It was harrowing trying to keep myself from curving further into the lane in front of fast-moving cars.

45 mins, ellptical, reverse intervals, then ab work
Tonight, I head to the climbing gym, which is why I didn't do strength training this morning. This climbing thing has thrown me off of my regular strength training schedule because I don't want to tire my arms out before climbing, and then I'm usually sore the next day. I'm probably down to two strength workouts a week, plus climbing so I'm sure it balances out.
