Ultra Training

Lot of technical difficulties yesterday between my phone, my Garmin, the internet. Frustrating day in that sense.
In any event....training for the day (first of the week) consisted of a biathlon of sorts - a 5K run followed by a 4.74 mile ride. I am working my way to a 5K then 12 mile ride - the distance of the Newman Freedom Festival Biathlon, which is a run-ride, not a ride-run.
Overall exercise time was about 48 minutes with a 761 calorie burn. I might make this 15 pound goal by August yet. Tonight (Thursday)I will have a late training as Beth is out of the house for awhile. Hope the rain stays away. I need it to dry up a bit. I want to get back in my garden.

I will add this, I am new to this blogging thing. If you don't want to read these, send me a note and I'll delete you off the email list. Feel free to comment if you like. I think it will get fancier as I get more experience with it.

Ultrathon Training

On Saturday 5/4/10, I got up nice and early, took measurements, and well, got depressed. But, need to start somewhere. Here are my numbers.

Wt: 204.6, neck 17, abdomen, 39.85, waist, 38.5, body fat 25. My training for the day was the 1 mile fun run with Jill and Laura at the races for all paces. I later did yard and gardening work, but I am sure that din't burn a lot of calories.

On Sunday 5/5 I did a brick after church. I did 5.19 miles biking in 21:16, which is just over a 4 mm. Immediately afterwards I did a run - 2.07 miles in 17:43 for an 8:33 pace. I am pretty happy with today's workout. The temp was about 55 and we had a good wind - probably 8-10 miles per hour. Not sure what workout I will do in the morning. I am thinking a 3 mile run. We'll see how the night goes.
