Tri-training anxiety will make you…

run 45 minutes on the strip? In the end of July? In somewhere between 95 and 110ºF? At 8pm in the evening? Wow. My tongue instantly turned into sandpaper, and my lungs were on fire. That was a first, last, and only experience… but, ok, at least I did it? And by the way, the Bellagio water show started right when I got to it, and it started so suddenly I must have jumped 3 feet! More on the Solana Beach tri next blog…

B/log Lagging...

Hi, everyone (or just future me)! Remember me? The iron-blogger gone dark? Are you wondering if I’m still in the game, so to speak? Well, I am, just not been making extra time to blog! But you were missed…

Things have been going well; I’ve been settling into my Training Bible routine (level 3, beginner), which is a 9-workout a week plan. Which probably sounds pretty manageable, but it’s sometimes a struggle when you factor in traveling! Which I have been doing a lot of lately… but I was pretty good about running in Germany (when I could) and in New York.

I started Masters a while back, and I have been going consistently 1-2 times a week, and I really do love it when I can get there! It’s pretty early in the morning (6am), but it pays off. And the Carlsbad pool chlorine does not wash off easily!

Biking is going okay, not too much report, but I need to be doing more and more of it!

Since my mileage has been lower in the runs (<8 miles), I haven’t had too many IT band issues, but now have a lovely plantar fasciitis problem brewing… in my right heel. Funny thing is I don’t really notice it so much while running, presumably because I am wearing supportive shoes, but I do assume that running is causing it. I need to look into possibly getting orthotics, so I am going to try to do that soon.

Ho hum, sort of boring blog, but I do have a race next Sunday. Solana Beach Sprint Tri!

Vroom vroom…
