So on Thursday and Friday, I have been on my mark. I could not bike on Thursday morning because the roads were rain slick. I did however get in my speed work on the treadmill at the YMCA. Speed workout as follows:
2 mile warm up
4 x 1600 meter repeats
400 meter jog in between each mile
mile cool down
I did the first 1600 meter run in 7:00 minutes, the second in 6 minutes and 40 seconds, the third was in 6.5 minutes and the last was in 6:45. I was pretty proud of myself for doing it on my own and my legs were fresh since I didn't bike in the morning. Post run, I took a great pilates reformer class.
I actually joined the YMCA based on the reformer pilates program there. They have around 10 reformers and really good instruction. THEN, I learned that I had split my transverse muscle and I had to stop all ab work and that included pilates. It was a big bummer, but I am proud to say that my diastasis split has healed from a four finger split to a 1.5 finger split. It is pretty exciting. SO, I carefully took a pilates class yesterday that was pretty awesome. I did have to wear a splint around my waist to make sure that my transverse muscle was supported and prevented from opening wider. The reformer gave some great stretches and inner thigh work, and I hope I can incorporate it more often.
This morning, since I missed my bike ride yesterday, I was on the bike at 5:30 and I actually didn't ride that well. I realized when I got home that I have not been charting my riding each week and now that I have time to sit down and check into things, I cannot get the Garmin to sync with my new computer. I think it is pretty normal to talk to Garmin tech support regularly, and it is certainly what happens with me on a regular basis. At some point next week, I will be haranguing some poor Garmin technician about my Garmin. I sometimes wonder if the Garmin techs would like to say to me, "You know, Bets, you aren't Lance Armstrong, so let's give it a rest." They have always been just ridiculously kind.
Anyway, I also went to swim today, where I swam a about a mile and kicked about a mile. It was great. 14 mile run tomorrow. Hoping the best for the weather.
