Yoga class was good. I will be sore, most likely. Then, I forced myself to run the crazy hill workout I was supposed to have done yesterday. Who comes up with these? (The details are very specific in TP and assume perfect geography.) What happened to just plain old hill repeats?

The crazy fatigue I have had the last few days seems to be improving. Maybe I will start feeling normal again.

HR monitor and I had a fight on the bike. I am using the new strap, and til today, it worked pretty well. But, during the first interval on the bike, HR appeared to steadily begin to drop. I tried to fix, adjust, reawake, or whatever, but once the HR registered in the 50s, I got rid of the monitor. Then, when I went to upload to TP, only 30 minutes of my ride was recorded. Maybe the memory was full. That would explain the "short" workout, but not sure it would affect HR reading. Will try again tomorrow.

Otherwise, good workout and effort level was definitely z3. Legs are feeling better...finally.

Really should have gone swimming this morning. If we are thunderstorm-free this afternoon, I will go after work. If weather is uncooperative, I will do a strength workout and/or possibly a yoga class.

Yep. Should have swum in the a.m. Ended up at work later than planned and lots of thunder going on when I got home. Rather than head to the gym, I just decided to do an easy core workout at home. I definitely get lazy in the e

I am tired and sore, but I felt good about this run. It was relaxed and comfortable.

I asked for and got relief on the overall training sked. Mostly, I just can't make myself do the doubles/triples on Sundays. This upcoming week, the 2-fer on Sunday is gone and it is just a long run. Big sigh of relief. Maybe I can somewhat enjoy the weekends and get some stuff done.

These long workouts in the hot summer just wear me out. Luckily, 2+ hours of the ride included a small group of friends, and we rode paceline. Really, that's cheating...like swimming with paddles...but we were easily at 18mph by the time I headed out on my own for the remainder of the time. Nothing like soft pedaling at 20+ mph. By myself, effort was harder, and I really started to feel tired. Finished strong, though. Took a bit of a breather before heading out on the run. Started at a walk and then very slow. Was able to build up toward the end, feeling okay.
