Friday has become my favorite day of the week. Not because it is the end of the work week but because it is a rest day from training --- except today. Balancing the demands of work, family and training has got to be the hardest part of preparation for a race. But all three interlace to be part of your life and you cannot have one without the other two. Having to work tomorrow - which normally would be a moderate run, I needed to switch things around to get my mileage in this week. So this morning I ran 6 miles. I did feel pretty good this morning and had a bounce in my stride, much better than earlier this week. My confidence is back up there. I have planned to get in about 1 hour of swimming this afternoon and a bike ride. So we'll see how things go. I am looking forward to Daylight Savings this weekend so that I can now get in more training in the evenings outside. |
