Monday - May 29

And NO, I am not upset with the string of yellow squares that I have going. I'm gonna enjoy this week "off" because HELL begins tomorrow!!!

To be continued....

Got up at 5 and went to pick up the bride and groom to drop them off at the airport for their flight to Mexico. Now I am back at the airport about to catch my flight back to Memphis in an hour. Not much else on the agenda...maybe do a bit of car shopping, who knows....I need a new bike rack!

Sunday - May 28

The day after....

It was a great small wedding but we had a lot of fun. The reception was a blast, then we headed to the hotel and met the bride and groom there for a few late night beers (they weren't going on their honey moon until Monday) then called it a night, so we could meet them for breakfast this morning and a BBQ over at their house later this afternoon.

I ran around with Brian (the groom) taking care of a few cleanup items, while Carolyn ran around with Shannon. Our tasking strangely enough was completed with the help of a few beers and a good bit of riding around in the Jeep CJ.....great day...boys being boys! (and I took him to lunch at Moe's!!!) BBQ back at the house with their families!

Saturday - May 27

Run didn't happen as my friend Carolyn (the bride) called to ask if I would go meet the groom and help him with all his taskings before the wedding...how could I say no?

Made it to Greenville via an unexpected divert into Asheville, NC due to weather. A couple hours later we made it to Greenville as planned. Met up with the group for dinner and a few drinks. Now it is time to get the day started with a run.

Thursday - May 25

Run is not gonna happen. Just finished with the yard mowing, now I am doing laundry and heading out to run some errands. Gotta pack when I get back. Good thing this is a post-race recovery week. ;)

Mornin peeps. Gonna be a busy day today. Meetings all day, rush home at lunch for the deliver of the new lawn mowers, then back to work for more high-vis meetings, then home to do laundry, go grocery shopping and to pack the bags for my trip to South Carolina tomorrow. Oh yeah, sometime in there, I need to get a workout in....

Easy run after morning PT. The legs felt fine, no pain, but just were dead. Still just coasted along to get the miles in.

Strength

Morning PT: strength/stretch/core

~~Morning PT with the work peeps. Then I will take off on my scheduled run. I will log it after I get back home this afternoon.~~ Hopefully, I will have my first of many scheduled massages today.

Massage appointment @ 5pm. Hell yeah!

Tuesday - May 23

Ok, guess I am in the post-race funk. I totally blew off my swim this morning to sleep in. I finally was able to catch up on some much needed rest and the bed just felt damn good. No way was I getting out of it at 0430 this morning. I'd decided to do a workout this afternoon, but just realized that I can't as I have a Team in Training meeting again tonight, so another yellow square day for Lane. No worries, this was going to be very low on mileage as I have to go out of town to South Carolina for a wedding this weekend. The official IMFL training plan starts next Tuesday after Memorial Day and the hours/distances shoot up from there. Rest week, hell yeah, I'll take it!

Also I have scheduled a massage therapist for 2-3 visits a month and VO2 & LT testing (lab) every 6-8 weeks. Guess it is back to the world of Zone 2 (or the Cult of Kicking Ass as Chippy calls it!) for a while. Definitely need more time in the saddle! Time to Rock
