1/2 Nothingman Finished

Saturday, swim was slow then met Carla for the ride. It was supposed to be 50 degrees, it was 36. We rode about 17.5 and were frozen. We jumped on the light rail back to Littleton, Carla grabbed her trainer and a couple Ironman DVDs and came over and we finished up the ride. It was warmer but I have not had a furnace since Friday morning.

As I write this it is 44 degrees in my house. I am going to work today even though I have the day off because it is cold in here!

Yesterday,13.1 miles on the treadmill and it was hard. Ran about 1/3 of it, walked te rest. I just wanted to finish. It was a mental victory as I wanted to bag it so many times! Last night I was pretty sore but today am feeling good. I don't work out again till Thursday!

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving, stay safe!

Big Weekend

Saturday is a 1.2 mile swim and a 56 mile bike, then Sunday the half marathon. Breaking it into two days so my coach can start kicking my butt sooner afterward than if I did the whole thing in one day. I am excited but nervous too! Have a great weekend!

October

October was a great month, 56 hours and 26 minutes training. This was the prettiest fall, lasted a long time and the trees were in color for quite a while. Riding outside was great! Now today, cold and snow off an on, trainer action on the way.

This month so far I have in 20 hours and 2 minutes. Today was 8 miles on the treadmill, I ran about 5 of it. I have a 51 mile bike in so far this month and next weekend I am doing a self-supported 1/2 Ironman split into 2 days, Saturday will be the swim and bike, Sunday will be the half run.
