Since my last post, on Sunday, I’ve settled into a pretty reasonable routine.

The rowing that I did last Sunday was heartening because I was basically pain free for low intensity, although definitely not willing to push the intensity up.

Monday – 5/4 – 3 x 20’/2′ Steady state

Still down on the Cape.  I pushed my luck a bit harder, by jumping back to an easy, but normal steady state session.  Three 20 minute intervals, all at a target of 160W.  I decided to let the stroke rate creep up a bit to limit the stroke pressure in the second and third interval.

I think that might have been a bit too much for my shoulder.  I was stiff and sore later Monday night and worse on Tuesday morning.

Tuesday – 5/5 – 6.4km run

I got new shoes.  My old Nikes had lost all their springiness.  Today was the first voyage of the new Brookes.  I was slow, but expected to be.

Wednesday – 5/6 – 30′ Bike / 2 dart games

Watching Giada in Capri making italian food while I rode the bike.

Then I wandered down to the basement and played two dart games.

Thursday – 5/7 – 30′ bike and 2 dart games

Sounds familiar?  Get used to it.  I think it will be my diet for a while.

Watched Giada again.  And pushed the pace on the bike a bit more.

Then two more dart games.  I’m slowly getting the hang of doing them easier.  I scored really well in the first one 14275, which is not far from my all time best of 14485.  The second one was much more of a challenge as I was trying to stick at 18 spm and keep it light.

Friday – 5/8 – 6.4km run

After I got back from my run on Tuesday, Strava helpfully pointed out that I had run the same course 3 years ago, and did it about 3 minutes faster.  That provided a bit of motivation for me to push a little harder this morning.  It was cold, about 45F, so I was in tights, hat, and fleece top.  And my new sneakers!

I cut almost three minutes off my time.

Cool thing I just discovered.  The rowsandall compare feature works for runs too!

I worked a lot harder too!

Saturday – 5/9 – 30′ bike and 2 dart games

Upped the resistance to 13, and that gave me an extra tenth mile.

Then two dart games.  I was not in the groove today.  13910 and 13825.
