| History |
| I started running in January of 2004 to get in shape. I had gained too much weight and felt terrible. I was able to run my first 5K 3 months later. 2 years later and 50 lbs lighter, I have continued to push for greater goals and have run 5 marathons and I am training for an Iron distance triathlon now. Everyday I wake up with a positive attitude towards life, training and my future. |

Well the last 2 days have been really busy - trying to catch up at work from the last month of traveling. Wow, work sure does pile up quickly. But I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel. But, new work is appearing almost as quickly as I am getting rid of the old stuff.
IT WILL NEVER END ------- ARRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!
yesterday I got to finally get back on the bike. Athena was at her best again. We covered about 26 miles yesterday and kept the average speed around 18 MPH. I stayed in my aerobars more than any other ride since starting. I felt more powerful on the hills and only got out of the saddle a few times. I noticed my hip flexor/low back strain was much better. I did hit a train track really hard and thought for a second or two that my tire was going to go again, but Athena held it together. I just love pushing hard and sprinting out of the saddle. Trying to stay up with traffic is wickedly cool. 
This morning was also great. I got up early but really initially I was tired as hell when I got up. I got out of the house by 6 am and in the pool by 6:50am. The water was a little warm this morning. They don't keep in cool for lap swimmers, rather they keep it warm for elderly bobbers. (Buoys) I did about 100 meters of swim drills then started doing intervals. I started with 3x300 alternating fast and slow. I took a little rest and did about drills again for about 100 meters then I went back to intervals, 6x100. I don't think I am getting much faster yet but I don't feel as wasted anymore. As a matter of fact, I feel really good after doing the 1st set of 300s. That would have almost killed me 2 months ago. So I guess I am improving slowly. |
