Back at it and nothing special happened but thought I’d share a day-by-day account of my week.
TUESDAY
Run: 1:00/intervals
This winter has been tough. More ice on the road than I remember in 10 years. Took my intervals onto the shoulder of Hwy#10. Back and forth. 5 x (3′ Zone 4, 2′ Zone 1) NEW to me [...]

2nd Trimester – Mar Apr May
With this Recovery Week almost over, I enter the next trimester in my “birth of an Ironman”. And I’m feeling pretty stoked. And completely terrified. Depending on the day. I look at where I’ve come from and can see my progress – this is the stoked part. I look [...]

… under the belt. It started off with a rather rocky start … ANOTHER snow and ice storm creating havoc for running on our roads … then some weird head/neck thing that caused a black out in the pool on Wednesday. Nothing like goin’ under to create a stir in the ol’ lanes I’ll tell [...]

It all starts with the swim…

Winter Storm Warning #1000
Woke up this morning to another “Winter Storm Warning” … it’s been a regular occurrence this year and I thought, “Well! I’d best get out sooner than later.”
I normally try and time my workouts so I finish up just in time for lunch. I like killing two birds with one stone [...]

… waiting for my body to heal itself.
On My Back
So. Remember last week I was all gungho about being back in bizness? And I mentioned, ever so fleetingly, that my knee/hamstring was a bit sore after my run? Well guess what?!? It manifested into a full blown back outtage, the likes of which [...]

… was not a good week. It seems that I have problems with slowing down. Even when my body is screaming for a break, when my muscles are crying out for a rest, when I am BONE tired, my mind wants … NEEDS … me to keep going. What’s up with that?!?
Not a Good [...]

There was a piece being passed around the interwebs last week about how to make the most of your IM training: The Six Phase Program for IM Bragging. Very funny and hits rather close to home for more than a few people I can think of. Guess I’m a rather pathetic IM candidate because I’ve [...]
