Went home this past weekend to help with the bakery while mom recovers from surgery, and while she and dad come to STL for his appt. Oh, the irony of me being up there while they are down here! But it worked out in the end, I got to spend dedicated time with my sis and they got to spend the two days as they wanted to over valentines day. I got to make love bug cake pops, chocolate covered strawberries, pizza sugar cookies, and more more. Yay!

I did what I could for the week, Took more of a rest instead of taking time from family.

For the running, it was up to the school road and back, trying for the MAF HR of <139 .="" 1.5="" about="" an="" and="" at="" back="" bring="" by="" changing="" cofoid="" compensations="" do="" down="" easy="" effort="" excuse="" for="" form="" had="" hard="" have="" hill="" hmm...me="" hr.="" i="" injury="" is="" it="" just="" latter.="" ll="" me="" miles.="" my="" of="" or="" p="" part="" point="" pretty="" raised="" really="" run="" seemed="" slow.="" slow="" that="" the="" thinks="" this="" to="" until="" up="" warmed="" was="" what="" wonders="">
The new Garmin seems to be accurate enough, at least it trends correctly. Can't blame the Garmin for my running to fast for the HR goal.

The swim on Friday was my get-back-on-schedule swim after missing Monday and Wednesday. I did my favorite warm up of 100's S-P-K-S then 2x [4x100 swim, 100 choice] and timed the 100 swims at 2 mins to 2:04! Yikes! I checked my PR log and saw a 1:41 as a PR. So I've go nowhere else to go but faster? :)

Thought of this workout yesterday after meeting with LC to deliver a cupcake to her (she missed the Thursday group bakery box), she mentioned her St Peters Masters group and swimming 100s on a 1:40. That includes a 10 second rest!! My rest today was 30 seconds, so I guess I was doing 100s on a 2:30. Hahaha, but my goal wasn't speed it was steady and good form, as a problem I'm having as I get back into swimming is maintaining good form as I fatigue. Not that I ever have great form to begin with.

The weather this weekend is high 60's maybe even in the 70's! Might even be 70F for my ride home in an hour. Wow. Unfortunately I'm coming in to work to make up for my days off this past week. But I'll get what I can out there.
