Well - so far this week has been a pretty solid training week. 2 hour ride Sunday, 1 hour ride Monday, solid 8k tempo on Tuesday, 18k long run Wednesday and a swim this morning (Thursday) aiming for a 5-8k run tomorrow. This weekend is a bit of a right off for me as far as training goes. I'm working in Niagara Falls and it's some seriously long hours that don't really leave much energy left for training. Which is why I got my long run done last night.
Turned out it was FINALLY great weather - little windy but not too bad (today was WAY worse). So I arranged to meet up with Kim, and since her time was limited I got to Caledon East early and ran 6km before meeting up with her to run the last 12. Turned out the 18k got done in 1:49… and it was a very comfy pace for me. Pretty happy about that especially with the workouts that preceded it this week.
Today's swim was a long and steady one, but for some reason (maybe the long run last night) I just had very little energy. Still got about 3k in this morning - and after a long day I'm pretty happy to be in for the night and ready for a quick run in the morning before a very long weekend of work.
Today I also dropped my bike off at the Bike store for a tune up - and apparently it needs new brake cables - excited to get it back and start riding outside - hopefully soon. If the weather continues to cooperate I have plans to ride with my RTCC team next Saturday. So hopefully this spring weather stays around! I'm really sick of the trainer.
