Swim was good. (woke up before the alarm...a miracle) 

Nailed my run. (saw an awesome hansons runner chick during cooldown and tried to keep up her cadence...hr went too high, but I tried for a little while lol)  

Lunch with the girl went well. (love Ann Arbor...love my girl)  

Sprayed the weeds out at the lake. (can't wait to hang the hammock!)  

Tired and ready for a little r&r tomorrow. :)

So, I chose not to do speedwork yesterday (the right decision I am sure of it) and I still feel groggy, but I will get things done around here and ride tonight with yoga perhaps.  Made a smoothie for breakfast as the scale did indeed scream this am, and will eat well.  Enough.  I've worked too hard this winter to screw off and eat crappy before the mary next weekend. 

* 4.5 hours of yard work, major drama with the girl, bitch and bike therapy and threshold was just what I needed.*

got to bed late, and woke up just about every hour.    Super sucky.  So didn't want to swim.  Felt a little better by the end of swim (i sure can do a lot on autopilot) but I'm pooped.  There was lots of waiting today in the pool for the slower lanes.  I didn't really have the energy to do the big dog workout, but I got cold a lot this am from waiting.  almost 5' between one of the sets!  Too long!!!

*update...felt like shit all day long even after a little laydown post swim.  It was warm out, I ate poorly, got kayaks with Dave for the lake house, and more frigging mulch, which I have to finish weeding to lay down in the jungle.  Went to BWW's for dinner even though I have lots of good for me food in the house.  Had a beer.  Watched tv and still could not get to sleep until late.  Tomorrow the scale will scream, and I hope I feel better!*

Worked in the yard and got a lot done, but still lots more to do.  Hit the sleepy wall at about 5, and really didn't want to ride, especially since it was so nice out and I knew I may be the only rider.  But I've paid for quality lab time, so I went.  Edgar, Jon and I were there and Edgar and I had the same workout, which was very cool.  I really enjoyed this ride, surprisingly enough.  Had a lot of fun chatting with Edgar post ride and during the recoveries.  Hit the grocery store on the way home and barely made it out alive...I was very hungry and wanting to buy lots of crap food.  :)

recovery ride in the neighborhood...goal 95 rpms or higher for ride.

Slept in, fannied about and finally made it out for my run.  I was pretty unmotivated.  The sun came out and I was glad for that. 

 

This run should have been easy...as my buddy Steve said, pajama's and slippers easy.  But it didn't feel that way.  I felt like I didn't warm up till I turned at 5 miles to come back.  PCT is a very slight up hill out and downhill back.  Very slight.  Perhaps this is why I felt better?  Meh.  I did what I needed to do, but I'm getting tired of running all pace pace pace.  That means I run alone, alone, alone.  It sure was a beautiful day though. 

 

Had a nice time with the boys...they went with me to see the new Johnny Depp flick where he's a vampire.  It was ok.  I had a beer and popcorn, followed by a HUGE beer, several samples of beer, and dinner at a new restuarant in town for Mothers day.  Wow...lots of beer!  :)

Bad mood...didn't want to do this hard workout.  Best damn thing I could have done.  It was on a nice rolling course, so I had to stay focused to hold threshold power, and the runs both felt spectacular with really low hr's and faster than expected paces.  That was great.  I was tired, and happy with how the workout felt.  Just what the doctor ordered for a mental check up today.
