Good training week. Got all my sessions in except for yesterday’s long swim. The rec. center pool is closed for maintenance all weekend.
The legs were pretty heavy by the end of the week, but I realize that’s part of the training. This base training is getting my body used to the feeling I’ll have on race day. Still having trouble keeping my heart rate in the moderate aerobic range toward the end of a run and in brick workouts. I understand it means I just have to run more slowly, but that’s hard to do. I have, at least, kept all my workouts below LT.
Going to enjoy a nice, hot (the heat index will be around 105 today) Father’s Day scheduled rest day. My family had a car accident on Friday and thankfully, they are all OK. It was, however, yet another reminder of what is important in life. Our car may get totaled but we were still paying on it, so what’s a continued payment on a new car when your family is safe and healthy?
Have a great day All! Happy Father’s Day to the dads and remember your own fathers on this day.
Kia Kaha!
