Another Thursday- Another Rant

Just finishing another non-Thursday workout morning and really enjoyed the rest and waking up a tad later this morning. Anticipation of getting Bri and Tommy off to school and getting ready for another day of work only to be pleasantly interrupted by coming home for Bri's track practice makes the day much more palatable. Up til today, hit 100% of workout plan from Coach Dave notwithstanding the broken toes on my right foot that is causing a bit of discomfort, yet manageable pain. I am thankful to God for giving me the ability yo continue to do this stuff day and day out. Also, I am fortunate that a contact I made about a year ago is allowing Triabetes and IronKidz to be in the Capitol Chapter of JDRF! Thanks Jonathan, a future Triabetes hopeful! Just heard Bri's alarm going off so the sun is really about to shine on today!

It is about the Week not the Day....

Got an email from Charmichael Training systems that said during the holidays look at a week of training not days. Take home lesson...If training for a September Ironman look at staying active but not be too concerned about missing workouts due to other holiday obligations. Not true for those training for April Ironman.

Did some more of Dane County Loop. Has some challenging parts and has me wondering about gearing for Ironman. Typically run a 12-25, but changed to a 12-27 for Lake Placid due to the topography. It is early and will consult those who have done the course about best gearing options. My thoughts is I will train both and see where my legs are, Coach Dave will have something to say about that also. After biking did an vasa erg workout about 900 m (40 second intervals) on a moderately hard setting, excellent work but I have a lot to work on in the swim!
