6.9.17 Yahhhhhoooo! Friday!

Congrats on finishing the school year and on your daughter's graduation! Sounds like a big day ahead! We also finished up here with about 1/2 day of work; mostly meetings. Stayed for a few hours after to organize some things in my classroom and then headed home before 3. One more weekend of running errands to set up the house and cats for the summer, plus last two long workouts before CDA 70.3, and then Rover and I are off to the US on Monday! Hope we make it on the same flight this time. (Last year he had an unexpected 36-hour layover at SFO.)

Oh yeah, training. (It was so miserable I think I am mentally blocking it out!)

1:05 of running with 3 X 9 minutes of tempo effort with 3-minute recoveries. This sounds okay, but it was mid-80's, sunny, and extremely humid even at 5:40 AM, and it started at what I would consider hard tempo and then was supposed to get faster. Didn't really get all that much faster, but by the end I was within a few BPM of my "end of 5K race" HR. Ouch! Really thought I was going to puke by the end of the last one. Ready to go run somewhere cooler for a while!

Heading off to bed soon so I can start a brick early and get it over with without another meltdown situation.

Took advantage of the cool morning before the heat wave coming in this weekend and did a 40mi bike this morning before work...it's the best I've felt since I was diagnosed with Shingles 10 days ago.

I've got a century ride next month before my next tri so my training will be bike-heavy through July. Enjoy the weekend!
