10.5 - 10.11 Schedule

Sun 5 - recover
Think I'll do something today, not sure what yet.

Ended up going golfing, played 18 holes walking. I played the best I have in a long time, shooting a 93. Had 4 3-putts on the back nine, and a bunch of penalty strokes altogether... could have been much better.
Mon 6 - run 3.5 mi
Started to run this morning, but my back was hurting, so I turned around after a couple minutes. I'm going to take a hot shower to try to loosen it up a bit, and if it helps I will try to run at lunchtime.
Tue 7 - recover
Wed 8 - swim 1000m
Brought my wetsuit to get used to it in the water. It surprised me how buoyant it was. Downside is it seems constricting on my chest / breathing. I made it to 750m in 26 minutes, 1000 after 33 minutes. I floated an extra 25m, then decided to finish off the 100.
Thu 9 - bike 12 mi
Had a bunch of meetings today until 6:30 or so, so I had to go to the gym to ride the exercise bike. I used the "Hills Plus" program, which is just a series of hills that get harder, with easy downhills in between. Took me 37 minutes to do 12 miles, which is about 20mph... which I'm happy with. I haven't come close to that on the real road though, so I'm not sure why this was so much easier (since there were "hills"). Weighed myself right after I got home, and was down to 216... but that's probably mostly water loss.
Fri 10 - recover
Sat 11 - bike 6 mi
Didn't do anything.
