Effort: Mod Weather: 53/53 Wind: 7/13 I went a little faster today but didn't really care. The way things are going for me right now my Pokagon Tri on Saturday is going to be blown. My arms are sore, my hands woke me up from the carpel tunnel symptoms that I haven't suffered with for a while, my legs are a little sore but I fear the biggest issue will be my energy reserves. Funny now that I think about it, I should have slowed down even more today to help with the energy reserve depletion. I guess I am feeling a little frustration that I chose this week to start this project. The run was actually pretty good. If it weren't race week and the other circumstances, this would have been a pretty solid, smart run. My legs did feel a little better once I was moving. They may have been a little stiff from sleeping and not moving much so far today.

Effort: Easy
Weather: 61/59 Wind: 12/12
This was a little faster but I was thinking more about my porch than running and I need to get it going pretty quick. The run was pretty enjoyable and it seemed to alleviate some tension as it gave me time to think about the plans for today related to the porch project.
My HR was slightly elevated at times but it seemed to be when running into the wind. I may have been pushing a little bit during these laps but overall I tried to keep it easy. My pace was slightly faster as well but it really didn't seem to have a big affect on my average HR for the run....Still in the easy range.
I am planning another run tomorrow morning and depending on how things go on the build I may try to get another ride in tomorrow and the an OWS on Friday at Josh's pond. If I don't get the OWS I will be going into Saturdays race without that practice swim I think is best.

Effort: HARD! Weather: 83/83 Wind: 7/32 This was a shorter ride than i would like but the porch is getting into my normal training regimen. This ride was pretty hard but I think I am gaining ground on speed and intensity. I am a little bit nervous about the race coming up this weekend because I don't fee like I am "bike" ready. This ride was at a high HR for the intervals but my overall average speed isn't as fast as I would like to see before a race. WU: 4 mile 4x4 miles @ 95%-100% (1 mile recovery) CD: 2 miles
