A few postings ago, I said that my maximum heart rate was 195 bpm. Since then, I have recorded maximum heart rates of 199 twice, and this morning I recorded 202 bpm during the track workout. So I guess that I'll need to expand my sample size, in order to determine what my sport zones are. Or I could go and pay to get all this info measured by people that actually know what they are doing. But that would not be fun. Trying to figure stuff out gives me something to do.
So I'm officially training for the marathon now. I'm kind of following my plan from last year, which includes a long run (3+ hrs), a kind of long run (2+ hrs), a track workout, and two tempo runs (45 min and 1.5hrs). For the time being, I'll swim 3 times and do a long spinning session per week.
I'm also kind of obsessed with cooking using the microwave zip bags. I'm trying all my go to recipes to see which ones work and which ones don't. So far, sausage and peppers, steamed salmon, garlic shrimp, chicken stir fry (or is it shake steam) work. Meats don't work at all. I'll have to try pork, and maybe roasted potatoes. What I love the most is how easily the flavors of the seasonings are absorbed by the steaming process. Once I have all figured out, I'll write my 12 minute recipe cookbook.
And why not? E and I bought this cooking book for her place from the bargain bin for $1 that has to be read to be believed. For example, their chili recipe calls for you to open a can of chili and follow the can instructions. Now, if somebody published that, why not my 12min cookbook? And you think that I'm kidding...
