Had a great week. Feeling strong and motivated again. Having last week off work really put me a in a better frame of mind. Work this week went really well (have some major gifts lined up for the coming months), so that made getting back in the groove a lot easier. Workouts went well and despite a twinge of the left IT Band after Thursday's speed workout, I had no pain after today's long run. Had a wonderful b-day weekend with Jennifer and the kids. Jenn and I enjoyed a night out last night and then today they all took me out for lunch.
I'll continue to follow my workout plan this week even with my upcoming Austin Triathlon Olympic race on Labor Day. As a matter of fact, I'll be doing my lactate threshold testing again on Thursday. Look forward to posting those results next weekend.
A little sad about the Olympics ending tonight. Have really enjoyed watching them this year. Guess we have to go back to watching crap TV again.
Good luck wishes to Dino on his upcoming mini marathon in Va. Beach. I know he'll represent TTT well and "give it hell."
If you don't have a race this coming weekend, consider taking part in the Nike 10k worldwide event. You can do it in your own neighborhood or treadmill, if you want.
Have a great week, men!
Kia Kaha!
