Training Updates

So this week was a little bit of a throw away in terms of training, and it's actually all my fault.  I(we) procrastinated on a couple papers we had due this week.  So note to self, if you have a 20 page research paper that you've been given all semester to do, it's probably a good idea to not do all of the work for that in all of a week.  And then when you've been given a term paper for english, also a good idea to get it started more than a couple weeks before it's due.

Soooo with that out of the way what did I get up to? Well I swam on Monday, wasnt anything huge, just a bunch of 100m repeats because I really need to make sure I'm keeping on track for pace.  The next thing I've been told to do is 200m ones, just the very thought of them brings bad thoughts to my head, if 100m sucks already, and there's a non-linear increase in pain with distance increase, you should find me somewhere near the bottom of the pool motionless.   
Tuesday was supposed to be a run/weights day with a friend, but he forgot his card and it just ended up being a solo run/weights day.   
Wednesday was a bike day, and I thought well I've been using trainer road(still need to write about this) for a little bit now, well 3 weeks to be exact, I wonder how much improvmenet I've been able to eek out of a few relatively focused workouts.  So I did some power tests and I'm up a whole 7 watts.  Now I'm really making this out to be a lot more than it is, because that only translated to something like a .1 or .2 increase in overall speed.  But he I'll take whatever I can get.  I am however still a good 60 70 some watts from a friend who can ride circles around me, up and down hills, on flats..... pretty much she is in a completely different class.
Thursday/Friday ended up being giant work days on the essays so I actually just did a lot of finger moving on my keyboard, and ass planting on chairs, so not much to report there.

I am however hoping to head out for a run later today, even though it's kinda cold, kinda icy, and probably quite dangerous, I'll let you know how it goes.
