  • 10.00 miles
  • 08m 37s /Mi

Rarely do I start OUT a run in the cold, blustery, windy rain, but today I did. No more "weather" excuses. I have an ULTRA to do at the end of the year, so it's time to toughen up and get'er done.
And I did.
Oh, and it stopped raining and the sun came out the last 200 yards. Figures.

Conor got us up early for EASTER.  The bunny brought him plenty of toys and chocolate.  Erin made a brief late appearance, looked at her stuff, then went back to bed....I guess the "magic" is over for her.  sad.

First brick in quite a while.  Then went home, gathered family, off to take Erin to track practice, then to Starbucks, over to Home Depot to buy new and exciting toliet, back to get Erin, Lunch at THE PUB, then home.

Mucho Thunder Stormies today...like yesterday, and the last several days. 

Will install toliet later, and drink a glass of vino...or two...perhaps while installing said throne.

151 AVG Watts
14.5 miles

Gonna start keeping track of my watts. I'm under the impression that my watts suck, so I'll now keep track to try to improve this.

Kids off school for catholic reasons. Soooooooo, after training a client this morning, I took them with me for Conor and I to get a hair cut, then over to the court house to get Erin and I some fun IDs made.  THEN time for lunch at MOEs.  Next, Staples for some supplies, Home Depot for other stuff, and finally another Court House to get some paperwork picked up.  Finally home to train more clients,  but they had to book off for good reasons, so I mowed the lawn instead.  Gotta take the toliet off the floor for the plumber to work on the pipes tomorrow.  Ahhhhhhhh.

Bike
  • 30m
  • 9.00 miles

Bonked. Too much coffee? To Much Tea? Not enough of this or that? Overtraining? Broke out in a cold sweat at about 30 minutes and decided to take the rest of the day off.

Worked out a tad with clients in the morning, and I think I may be overdoing it a bit.  I don't know. 

I still feel so much like a ship without a rudder.  So many things in life are in some transitional phase, but maybe "LIFE" is nothing BUT being in some transitional phase...and maybe THIS is "IT".   The seas aren't exactly rough, but there certainly is a strong current that I seem to be fighting.  I need some smooth water for a bit.  No drama.  Just some easy, dependable  and dare I say BORING time to adjust to life.  Ever since retirement, it's just been a bit weird.  Getting ready to get back on a big training schedule for my ultra at the end of the year, so perhaps that will help.
