Things have been crazy in my world lately. Work has been extremely busy and I haven’t had a chance to do much besides work, train and sleep. This week will be my longest week of training so far. 16 hours which will be comprised of 8:30 bike, 5:00 run and 2:30 swim. IronMan Arizona is less than 4 months away and I really feel myself getting stronger and faster. It is amazing how the body adapts to bigger stress loads. I lost my heart rate monitor strap for my Garmin about a month ago. I was really lost without it at first, but I think it was a blessing in disguise. I have been training more on perceived effort and I think that it has made me faster in both cycling and running. Good stuff!
It has been raining in Southern California. It’s nice for a change. I have been doing my best to get into the Christmas spirit despite the chaos in my studio. Right now I am trying to make sure that I finish everything by this Friday so I can enjoy a 4 day weekend. Of course 2 of those days will be heavy training. But I really enjoy the training on the weekends, especially if I don’t have to work! I will be on the bike for about 3 1/2 hours on Saturday so I think I can find time to blog then. I think I’ll talk about Christmas and what a great time of year it is, and has always been in my family.
Until then......
More work, training and sleep.....
Paul
