Ride To Work

The past couple days have been filled with some great workouts. I feel like I have gotten some great training in, specifically for triathlon. My body is telling me to take tomorrow off. If I don’t, I think I might be in trouble. I will do the P90X X Stretch tomorrow. I have also come to realize that next year when I train for the half ironman, I am going to need cut out strength training and focus completely on the three disciplines.

Yesterday I decided to ride the bike to work. I felt I could get some training in without interfering with duties and family time. It was a pretty tough ride. About 50 miles round trip. Half of the ride was in the streets and the other half was on a paved trail. I didn’t use the road bike for this ride. I busted out the “dad” bike. The only that I use to carry/pull the kids. This way I didn’t have to worry about it getting stolen. The knobby tires made the ride a little harder.

Today was a double. Nothing to special or out of the ordinary. In the morning was a 4 miler. It was raining out, so I stayed inside on the treadmill. I kept an 8 minute mile pace. After about 1 mile I started getting really bored and wish I would have sucked it up and headed outside.

My lunch hour was spent at the pool getting a mile swim in, straight laps. I had some goggle issues in the beginning, but after that, I felt myself get into a nice rhythm. I am not sure what my time was. I was counting the laps in my head. My chest was pretty tight. I am guessing it was from the lifting earlier this week.

Off day tomorrow…

In good health,
