06.20.2019 Thankful Thursday

I hear you on "running in the mud".

70.3 for me in September also, LP 70.3.

Good Times!!!

4 miles this afternoon around 4 PM. Good for hear acclimatization. 93 degrees and high humidity.

I too am taking on a 70.3 in September. Augusta 70.3. Should be a scorcher.

Wow--our weather really is totally opposite everyone else. Cold front here--highs in 60's and very windy. I switched workouts since there is a lot of construction near where we live and the dust blows everywhere; makes me wheeze.

Thankful that they have finally fixed the pool heater and water is comfortable again. Swimming really isn't comfortable at present (PT claims it is some scar tissue behind my elbow pulling on the metal plate and I should just go ahead and swim easy anyway; eventually it will work itself out. Hmmm...) but cold somehow ratchets it up from feeling a bit sore and occasionally wondering if this is really a good idea to just wanting to stop RIGHT NOW. 1800 yards of swimming, marginally slower as not in the mini-wetsuit. Up to 1300 yards total of freestyle, the rest dolphin kick and breaststroke.

1:07 trainer ride later with 36 minutes of Z3 pickups.

Winds supposed to calm down tomorrow but still fairly cool so should be good running weather.

I’m jealous of those temps. The heat got to me today. I couldn’t keep my heart rate down. I did a harder session on the trainer yesterday so maybe I was still fatigued as well.
