7.18.11 What was today's sufferfest/recoverfest?

Longestrun in a year.  And it felt darn good to be able to do it

PTHHHHH on that naysayer PT who thinks I don't have another 10K or half mary in my legs, I WILL prove him wrong.

Nice!  I remember my first 50 mile ride.  It felt epically long, and it still does! 

I'm taking a rest day today.  Haven't taken a day off in over a week, and I need to be ready for this weekend!

I'm back, baybeeee...8 week Oly plan started today.  No schedule was fun for a while, but I do love me some training!

6am:  1:45/30 miles on the bike

8am:  35 min/3.5 mile run

Later walking the doggies and maybe out on my mountain bike!

'Was riding this morning distracted, lousy cadence, breathing etc...just going through the motions...

Fortunately, turning a corner late in my ride, I saw two bikes up the road about 500 yards. They looked to be kinda dogging it too, so I put my head down and thought I'll catch up to them and finish out my ride with some company. Well, the two of them apparently didn't want company, because they "hit the gas" about the same time I did. Although never getting close enough to say hello, over the next 7-8 miles I gradually closed the gap to about 30 yards, varying over uphills and down, before I had reached my turn.

Realizing on my way home that these two strangers had really focused my ride for me, I wished I could have said thanks !

17 mile run this morning in my marathon plan after an olympic tri yesterday. My legs were saying: WTF?!?!? Good times!

Masters swim this evening.

30mi race pace bike ride today, averaged 22mph :D

Then a 2mi run just for fun even though its only bike day today.

Then cat nap.

7 mile run for lunch, 60:03.

Chase the kids around this afternoon.

14 mile run at 5:00 am....stepped on a pine cone hiding in the dark on the sidewalk at mile 10 - and kept on going.  Rolled the ankle all the way over.  Fortunately, I have flexible ankles.  It's the pain in the knee that has me concerned.

Good times.
