working on a mystery......and going wherever it leads....running down a dream
Thank you Tom Petty (I blog it cuz you don't want to hear me sing it.)
Well, I "backed up" yesterday's good bike ride. For those of you who don't speak triathlon "backing it up" means putting a couple (or more) quality days together.
After a fun day of "pirate fest" in Port Washington, in which the family fenced (fought with swords) with "real pirates" got faces painted with spiders and skulls, saw a pirate "invasion" (parade) and visited the gruel galley for lunch, we did the normal grass cutting, household chores etc etc.
After making dinner and giving showers I was let "off the clock" for the night at 6:15 (thanks for putting the brood to bed B) and headed out for a long run.
I dodged the storms (we had about 4-6) and tornados (1 warning today) and made it 10 miles in 1:39 or just under 10:00/mi. The highlight was doubling back at about 1:20 and seeing the look on the kids faces.
I did a 10 minute run at mid to upper Zone 1 (more on this later) followed by a 2 minute brisk walk X8 followed by an easy 3 minute cool and good stretch. I am experimenting with the 10 run 2 walk concept; we'll see.
It was a good weekend of training. And today was no Ipod etc. Time to lose the distractions; just 1:40 of me, my breathing, and my feet hitting the ground.....
Couple of housekeeping things:
1) no I will not be blogging every day, just setting things up at this point for the next week or so
2) on the right hand side you will see my training log. My future posts will show less of the "blah blah" training stuff. If you want to see blah blah check the log
