Busy

It's been super busy over here. Between work, extra work every single night, parenting and training, I had no time to blog. I do read all your posts on my phone - and look forward to their company on my morning T ride - but have not been commenting much. I'll do better next week:)

Training has been going well. I have been running mostly easy since the HM 2 weeks ago, but managed a sweet tempo, almost effortless, @ planned 10K pace. Nice. Tomorrow I am back racing at Fresh Pond. Don't expect a PR, as I will be biking for an hour before. My goal for the next few weeks is not to get faster; rather, am working on getting my brain used to running on tired legs. Typically my brain wants me to slow down when my legs get heavy. But in triathlon I will start to run on tired legs, so I need my brain to get used to that and let me run like I know how.

Swimming is going swimmingly! I am getting so strong, thank you paddles! I love, love, swimming with paddles and no kick. I am convinced that swimming with paddles has made me not only faster, but also more efficient by improving my form. I am also swimming 4 miles + a week now, with one long swim of 2 miles (for now). This is not much for triathletes, but it is a lot for me.

Biking is also getting better. I had my bike adjusted and it feels much better. No saddle pain. I am excited for a long ride this weekend. My rides outside are more challenging, but also more fun. I am having a hard time going into zone 3 on the trainer, but no problem going on zone 3 or higher while on the road.

That's it, folks, nothing that interesting! Looking forward to tracking all the Boston runners! Post your nr so I can find you!
