The Weather Outside is...GOING BIG.

Had a good weekend. The weather outside was weather and I ran 22 Saturday. It sucked, not sure why except for the obvious. I now realize that Cleveland Marathon is going to be a bitch. I won’t enjoy it. Maybe I’ll be surprised…doubt it. The cool part about the towpath was meeting up with Natalie and the kids about 9 miles in. I ran an 11 minute mile there, approximately the all out effort of a 4 yr. old on a tiny bike. Sunday I woke up all nice and early and took the new tri ride out with some folks from the Tri team. 45 miles later my legs were toast. I assumed that this was going to be a tough week because of the 6 hours of training over the weekend. Monday’s swim proved it. I was tired. Woke up Tuesday morning feeling all types of groggy and rolled back over. My lunch run was nice. Legs felt all lite and energetic, something I wasn’t expecting. Well tonight’s movie night with the family as I rest up a bit for the Wed. morning suffer fest. I was able to snag and extra 20 minutes in the water so you know what that means…another 1700 yds. Hopefully I’ll head on back to the pool in the PM and get a 3k wetsuit swim in. Why am I swimming in a wetsuit? Potomac River 7.5 miles of who’s my bitch Open Water swimming contest in 22 days! That’s why. I need to find all the chaffing spots before the Chesapeake bay does. That’s all for today. Maybe I’ll update leter in the week on what actually panned out at the pool. GOING BIG though! Last week of 20k+ yardage.
