Bike to Work Week

My good friend Tyson was kind enough to show me some trails to work this last week. I've seen him commuting on the freeway before (on his bike of course), but that made me a little nervous so I opted for the trails. It takes a good chunk of time to get there and back, but it's also more fun than sitting in a car.

For some strange reason, I didn't run this week. It's weird, I didn't plan it but after last weekends "quick" 3 mile run I just lost motiviation. I keep thinking that with the marathon looming and so much "required" training coming up, I should take advantage of the opportunity to slack some. Although I did find alternative ways to spend my excercise energy. Besides biking to work I went to a couple of yoga classes. I've experimented with some yoga before, but nothing had prepared me for Thursday's class. This was the level 3 (of 5) and I had just been getting used to the level one. From the class description it looked do-able and I was ready to kick it up a notch instead of almost falling asleep during class. As I stood with my forhead nearly touching the ground and my left leg somewhere over my head in a pose I can't pronounce watching the sweat drops accumulate on the hardwood floor, I started to second guess the wisdom of my attending that yoga class. Actually, when it was all said and done I was sore but glad I went. I won't do it again tomorrow, but hope to someday.

I'll look to start running again this week, probably tomorrow. I'll limit to 9 or 10 miles just so I don't overdo it.

Ironman in May totals so far.
2400/4000 yards swimming 23/26.2 miles running and 50/112 miles biking.
