Holy bad luck - went to swim today and again a swim meet had the pool on lockdown for 6 hours!!
I guess I need to get the weekly schedule ahead of time so I don't waste an hour driving there from work just to go home. At least I made it to the gym yesterday and caught up on my missed weight training.
What I did get to do today was my interval training and it gave me a nice sweat. I really suck at running inclines but I guess in time I will get better and be able to go at high grades for longer. I made it 2 minutes at 10% grade and 7mph for 2 minutes before I had to drop the grade back down. The 10 week plan has me maxing out at 14 degrees and 5 minutes - can't even imagine that right now.
My Sunday is filled with family and cub scout stuff but I do have a Spinervals workout planned - I will be doing Sweating Buckets and will give feedback on that DVD tomorrow night. The only other Spinervals DVD I have is Threshold Test and Sufferfest which was filled in a car dealership and the leader tells you when to shift or ride harder. I assume Sweating Buckets will be more of the same but I guess I will offend my family faster by dripping everywhere.
Today's random stuff - my race last week fulfilled my obligation to Team New Skin and I have accepted a new sponsorship opportunity as a member of Team SunRype. If anyone is interested in something like this you need an ActiveAdvantage account and you need to fill in information about yourself and your race plans for the season - Active puts together at least 30 teams of 20-50 members and you get race kits, free product and other goodies - in turn you need to rep the product. I am fairly outgoing and forward anyway - just gave me more of a reason to talk to people at races and give them free samples. After my phone conference with the team leaders on Thursday I will know more of what is expected of me from my new team.
Is there a product you love? After my running workouts I always grab a Chocolate Zico. During my long runs I have been putting one at the mid point of my run and having another when I get home. To me the taste is just better than any sports drink and the potassium content is as high as a banana (I don't like banana's). At $2.50 a bottle though it is pricey and while I love drinking it my wallet cries every week when I need to buy at least 4 of them at $10 ... about a year ago Amazon had a deal for 12 bottles shipped to your house for $22 postage paid once a month ... I was ALL OVER THAT. Of course the program ended immediately most likely due to high demand.
