This week is supposed to be a recovery week, after a five week push of good, consistent training weeks. Now I'm sick. I normally end up taking one sick day a year, and today is the day. I'm not sure I'm actually recovering this week, but I'm certainly not working out. Beautiful day today, too....sunny and 60.
Last Friday's run turned out to be 11.6 miles in 1:23:30, that's about 7:15 miles. I didn't run really hard, but I pushed it a bit. This is supposed to be a long and easy run, but I ended up pushing because I felt so good....there's lot of air to be had at sea level!
Hopefully I can get over this cold/flu/whatever soon. I want to get in my last day of skiing on Saturday, and maybe a bike ride this weekend, too, if the weather holds.
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
