2013 stronger, faster and farther

July 22

Well I didn't get to my bike last night because I had to mow the lawn and too late by the time I finished. I planned to get it in this AM before rain, but slept right through. My biking numbers for this month are pathetic.  Speaking of pathetic, I have been having a great season, but I sense a clunker coming on for Sunday. Was originally my 2nd "A" of the season, but with bike and swim being afterthoughts lately, I'm not expecting much.

So today will be a rest day unless I somehow get enough motivation to throw the bike on the trainer.

Supposed to run 7 today, but promised my daughter I would go on a walk with her. So I came back after 5 miles to walk with her. Then decided to get in the rest of run after she left.  Good chance of a short ride this afternoon.

Ok I don't really know what I am doing. The 1/2 mile pace is too slow for 5-k, too fast for 10k pace. Who knows. Felt pretty good, anyway.  Possibility of swim tonight.

UPDATE Headed out to lake with my 10 year old swim buddy. Speaking of swim buddies, lots of people out in the lake with noodles.  I did first 800 without wetsuit for practice in the (hopefully unlikely) event that race is not wetsuit legal. Gosh I hope not, because I forgot how much I suck without wetsuit. My unscientific guess is that water seems to be cool enough to make it wetsuit legal. Then did 400 with sleeveless, just to make myself feel a little better.

Well I only slept through the first mile of my run today. ;) (was supposed to do 7, but not enough time) Will try to make up that mile somewhere. Bike this afternoon, if possible.

You would think that with 5 of us, somebody would have had their watch timer going.

Sport
  • Stretching
  • 10m
First half of run I behaved myself and kept HR in mid to upper 130's. Second half as heat and humidity crept up and pushed harder to keep pace (mid 140's ) and last mile I did in 8:30 and pushed HR to mid 150's.  I'm just afraid that if I go slow, I'll stay slow.

a grateful run

Another morning of sleeping through a morning workout leaving me with a tight schedule and hot weather to battle through.
