OFF (on 7th day) (completely, not even biking, after a long longgg timeee. I thought it was a sign, as I was sleepy/tired/brainless all day long, even after good sleep)
Watched Iron Man 2 >> wonderful =)
Dizzy after half a glass of wine… (friend’s birthday) I love lack of alcohol tolerance =) Hadn’t drunk since New Years. =O
Off days are not a good idea… Lower back hurts again, and training was not all that comfortable =/
(10min biking)
Finally did that soap-opera-medical exam thingy for the gym. I think I had a cardiogram for the first time today. Of course my heart rate was rock bottom =)

12min warm up
10 x 1min intervals @ 19.8km/hr (3.1’ at each kilometer tempo), with 1.5’ rests. I cannot say this was effortless =P Good stuff…

p.s. Next time I’ll charge ‘viewing fees’ for whoever happens to be there next time, and apparently staring with curiosity?impression? Jeez… Italian women never go hard on a treadmill?? =/ Just awkward …

Long training discussion with my teammate… I need to start doubting this system, due to my knowledge (I only express my concerns on lack of speed), but this is what we’re doing, it works for them, I’m progressing and not injured, so I’m shutting up and enjoying it… =) Plus, it’s actually impossible to work on speed on the track, with this kind of weather.
I still can’t digest the fact that Milan does not own one single indoor track…
I’m dying in anticipation for my first meet in Greece in May … (as long as I’m ready for good pr’s)
Woke up at 3.30am, and awake ever since… ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Now I’m dying (past midnight, next night).
No work load, just insomnia… I need intensity. &&%#@%$()(&*^%&
10min warm up bike (as if I’m not biking enough… hahah)
strength (leg press, squat jumps, pull ups, dips).
I met this guy today !! http://www.donovanrussell.com/ Very nice. He came right at me, impressed with my lower body development, and had a nice conversation. He’s like a superhero. Hard to find around.
Treadmill:
10min run
7 x 1min intervals @18, 18.5, 19, 19.5, 20, 20, 20 (km/hr), 1.5min rests in between

Feeling like hell. Physically, psychologically.
But in peace.
(15min biking to the track)
20min warm up, drills and strides
5 x 100m (@low 14s), walk back rests
5 x 60m (@mid 8s), walk back rests

training of st, as my training partner would say… feeling like st, and to top it off with everything, head wind for the sprints and pinky-toe blister that was unbearable in the spikes
(15min biking)
