Halfway through my first quarter of grad school. Woo.
Have worked out 5 times in the as two weeks. Not bad. Have been riding my bike, going to the gym, and getting a few runs in.
Today I am taking the dog out for a run after I buy new running shoes. Yay. Finally. I got blisters on my last run, and I only did about 4 miles, so definitely need shoes now.
And I LOVE the Y. Wish I could bring the Seattle Y to Bellingham....that would be really nice.

Ran to gym!!
Ran to the Y, which is about a mile each way--woo hoo! running outside :)
Also, pulled a 2k in 9:09. woot. finally speeding up a bit. Hopefully I can get my endurance up to maintain this kind of speed. Again the middle 1000 or so meters were my slowest. My splits always end up like a huge wave...I need to get more consistent too. Again, an issue of endurance.
My splits were (approx. I didn't have my phone on me to take notes) 2:09, 2:15, 2:21, and finally 2:06....why are the middle sections always so slow? ugh.
I also found a rowing club on Whidbey Island that goes out twice a month, and they fall on my days off :) So I think I am getting my butt down there in the morning to get out on the water. I can't wait! I do have to leave by 6a to get there by 8a, but it may very well be worth it. They are going to put me in a quad, which would be perfect....it would be nice if I could compete, but I don't think I have the time to devote for training.

Swimming
Swam today..it was pretty good. Had to share a lane w a slow swimmer who wanted to circle swim....that was kind of annoying, but it was okay. Only swam for about half an hour, but it still felt really good.
Tomorrow I will probably hit one of the classes or just hit the erg again....I am probably going to start riding my bike to the gym since parking kind of sucks downtown and I live close enough that it's not ridiculous to ride my bike there. I just need to go earlier than 11:30 in order to get to work on time.

Gym, again
Since my work has a group discount at the Y, I figured I should join since I am not exactly running lately. There are a few reasons for this: my hip pain is back, and is in both hips now. Also, since I work nights, it is often too dark to go out and safely run on the trails, and the roads definitely exacerbate the pain. Hopefully I will get back into this and strengthen my legs so my hips stop hurting. I am going to start icing them more frequently, and probably will do more stretches.
This morning after work, I did my first workout at the Y. It was awesome. I was going to swim, but sometimes it is hard to stay focused in the pool, esp after I work the night before so I decided to do some cardio stuff. I ran on the TM for 10 mins and then hit the erg. I did a 2k in 9:22.8. It was amazing, and has to be some kind of record for me! I am debating going back this afternoon for a swim....we'll see.
