5.1.12 Rabbit Rabbit and Happy May Day!

First one in the pool this morning! That's never happened before, it was awfully quiet. No snakes, though. 2000 yards and off to work. 6 mile tempo run with the running club after work.

Starting May out right!

May Day is a national holiday here! And yesterday was Reunification Day, so it's been a four-day weekend. Done more than my share of training. Amazing how much energy I have to train when I don't have to go to work LOL.  Besides training, refueling, running a few errands, and cleaning the house, lots of quality time with the AC, fan, a few good books, and my couch. (Advanced HIM to Couch Plan??)

Today AM: 70 km ride (last one with buddy....sob. She's leaving the country for good.); 40 minute run after. Legs felt good but unbearably hot so turned back at 20 min instead of planned 25--came back to find heat index was 104!

Am in pretty dire straits healthwise, definitely not allowed to do any kind of exercise which taxes my muscles at all or raises my heart rate much (like, not even Z1, and absolutely no strength poses) ... so will try to do a little bit of very easy sitting and lying down yoga. Found it very helpful during other times of recuperation.

Other than that, most of the last 24 hours has been death-pose yoga

Got myself up and into the gym early this morning and knocked out a short 2.5 mile run. Nothing fantastic, but it got the morning going. Then it was off to work for the next 24 hours, where I'm currently at roaming the BT forums!!! Looking forward to the next five days of no work!!! Whoohooo I love the start of May so far!
