Morning!  I got to run last night for the first time in a month.  It felt great to be outside among the other runners!  Still getting used to training by HR.  I'm sure the learning curve is steep.  Heading to the pool for a swim sometime today.  My daughter was up puking all night, so I feel fatigued.  I'm not feeling 100% either, so I hope the stomach bug doesn't fully hit me.  

Hit the pool this morning.  Abby was up all night about every 30 minutes.  "I'm thirsty." "Can I sleep with you?" "I need a tissue." "I'm scared of the dark." "I need to go potty."  OMG I wish she was sick.  Maybe it wouldn't have frustrated me as much if there was a real reason for her being up.  So I'll be living off coffee for the rest of the day.

Jen very happy you can run again.  I'd go freaking crazy.

3000 in the pool this morining

Hour ride tonight most likely won't happen till after church at 9:30 the joys of IM training

I'm not a tyrant, I'm just prickly (like a hedgehog).

Did some "make up work" and swam this morning (rather than last night).  The pool actually feel pretty good lately, its nice to have quit alone time. 

All my friends are tapering for Sunday.  Makes me want to race REAL BAD!!!  Yes I'm a junkie.

BTW this is my race kit for this year. 

Awesome looking kit!  Always fun to get new gear.  Have been riding the new bike yet?  How is that going?

On another front, I am totally zonked!!!  40 degrees this morning for a speed workout.  My run partner texts me 5 minutes before we start (after I have already driven 1/2 hr to the track) to let me know she isn't coming.  Would've been nice to have some notice and do on an indoor track in better temperatures!!!  I don't think that is too much to ask.  ARGH ...................

Rest day tomorrow, and much needed!!!  I feel like I am saying this alot lately.

Up early for a trainer ride (and episodes 3 and 4 of Game of Thrones season 1 ) and then a short recovery run later.  

I have to get my family packed up for the weekend.  We're taking the kids to Great Wolf Lodge indoor water park in Sandusky for the weekend.  They have been entertaining themselves for the better part of the last 4 weeks, as we've been busy with home repair, packing, etc., and we wanted to gift them a family trip, where we'd focus on quality family time.  They are super jazzed.  All you parents know how difficult it is to pack up and go for the weekend.  

I'll still get in my ride early tomorrow morning, before we go, and then I'll have to go to the gym late on Sunday for a run and swim.

Kelly - Good luck with the 1/4 marathon!  Hope it all runs smoothly.   

Scott - Cool looking kit.  Hope you got better sleep last night.

Carrie - How'd the mile repeats go?

Anyone racing this weekend?

Kelly  - that is really cute! I love stale peeps! Good luck with the race - I am sure it will be great, except I hope you are not getting the rain we are supposed to get!

Jen - Great Wolf lodge sounds fun! I am sure the kids will love it! Have fun!

Scott - nice kit! Love the blue!

Just wrapped up my long ride.  Heading out of town in about an hour.  March is in the books.  Loads of bike and swim volume. 

Decent training for having a week plus in Disney:

Oh and just got back in from my first ride on the new bike.  She's fast.

Just finished an hour TT on the bike, followed by 6 X 1 mile repeats.  I'm wiped out.  Bike went well, run was a fail.  My legs just didn't have anything in them.  So the run was more of a run / walk or walk / run depending on which mile it was.  Kind of bummed, but don't really want to do it again.

Will post numbers for the month after I download everything.  Might need a nap today...

not the greatest numbers, but getting better. Its been a slow recovery from this calf issue. Good news is the 20 miler today had some tough climbs and no calf problems.

3:30 on the trainer this morning followed by 20 min run I am tried!!
