Monday:
I intended to run 5 miles but accidentally ran 7 miles. This happened because I prefer loops to out-and-back courses. The loop got too big. I also freaked out my wife because I was gone for so long and forgot to bring my cell-phone with me. I did this run with a heart-rate monitor and successfully kept my heart-rate my aerobic zone.
Tuesday:
Swam laps for 30 minutes at the Orem Rec. Center.
Wednesday:
Today I went for a 5 mile night run on an undisclosed multi-use path currently under construction. I don’t know who plowed it, but I was sure glad they did. It is going to be really nice once it is completed. I saw around twenty deer eating the vegetation in various backyards along the way.
Thursday:
Swam laps for 60 minutes at my weekly swim class. I am surprised at how much I have improved in just one week. Swimming is great cross training and really works the anaerobic system and is great strength training.
Friday:
This morning disaster was narrowly averted. There is a cool path which circles Orem Community Hospital here in Orem. The path is just over a mile long and really nice. My original plan was to run 5 miles on the path but I chickened out. It was just too dang cold at 5:30am. So I went to the Orem Rec. Center. Once I get there I realized my towel was still at home, drying from last night’s swim class. Despite the cold and lacking a towel, I decided what the heck, there’s a pullover in my bag that can double as a towel. I ran 5ish miles on the Rec. Center indoor track. My heart-rate did not leave my aerobic zone until the very end of the run.
Saturday:
Swim Class. Swam laps and did various drills for 60 minutes.
This has been a good week. I got in six quality workouts. Excited for next week.
