Trying to get over this cold. Going to take a day off of working out but I am going to go to work. Trying to get a run and bike ride in this weekend.

Head feels like its in a vice. Got up @ 0600 for a swim but could not think. Will see if I can get something in but might just rest. Damn it. Well, I started to feel better so I went out for a little 10k. Nice and easy on the pavement. I felt very good! Now off to work.

Went for a 10k. My nose is still plugged. Do not think a swim will be useful right now! Started out slow today and wound myself up until I was in a good run! Working today so not doing much else.

Up the ripper today. Last one before the marathon. It sure felt weird on the way up. My nose was still plugged. BUt on the way down, it cleared up and I enjoyed the run. Lots of stretches. Will Be going for a swim or a bike tonight.

My allergies are really acting up today. Not sure what I am going to do about it. Having a hard time breathing.

Went for a good run. It was a beautiful morning! Sun was out and was it warm. The wind was even warm. We pushed it a bit at the end of the run. THe start of the run was like hell for me. My head felt like it was on a balloon and I needed more water than I could take in. CRAZY. We stopped at the Blue Heron Reserve park and got some from the taps. So I went through 2 bottles of water and 2 gel paks as I needed to keep fueled from yesterdays events. Well thats a good weekend if you ask me! Well off to enjoy the rest of this great day! Later Skaters!

Went for my long ride today since it was sooo nice. I rode to the meeting place 12k away. (not a good Idea in hindsite) Then hooked up with 3 other tri club members. 2 went 1.5 hours and 2 Jay and I went up to the end of Chilliwack Lake rd where the gravel starts. Just past the entrance of post creek trail. Little did I know that this thing gains elevation the whole way up. Down hills we were going like 18k and we could not figure this out. So needless to say at the 1/2 way mark, we were getting tired. So we had a bite and headed out again down the hill hitting a wopping 65k plus going down the first hill, I was still going 60k when I went up the hill on the other side, nice. We were averaging 50k easy for the way down until we hit the salmon hatchery got up to 73 on a 13 grade according to my comp. It is a beautiful ride with lots of scenery and everything. Ride by the river most of the time. I sure was not used to climbing the whole way for 40k then coming down in about an hour. I blew my legs out around 75k and could not keep it in the big ring anylonger and pushed it and caught up to the back wheel of Jay so I could bring it home. Well, after that, I still had 12 k to get home and that was an average of 24-27k the whole way. I did thank Jay for helping me out though. Now I rest. TOmmorow a 23k run. Later Skaters.
