Time to buckle down

With Live.Love.Tri less than three weeks away (yikes!) and a 5K coming up this weekend, it's time I get out of vacation mode and back into training mode. Yesterday I went for a 10.1 mile bike ride after work in the hot windy late afternoon. Must have been 98-100 deg and winds at 15-20mph. Yuck. But I got it done.

This morning I was going to run in the cool weather, but my calves were still a little sore from the weekend. I decided to postpone and meet up with some others this evening at the track. Again, it will likely be 98-100 deg, but this time wind only 5-10mph. It's not going to be comfortable, but I *will* be out there running.

[edited to add: I did not end up going to the track, but I DID run 4 miles easy in 96deg.]

In other news, my daughter is officially a senior in high school now and my son is back in California. I guess that means summer is over. Where does the time go??

  2. Summers go by so fast these days, I agree. Good luck with your events, I know it's not quite fall yet, but I can't wait for my fall halfs!

  3. I feel every year goes by even faster! Can you believe in 4 months we are getting ready for Christmas? I wish there would be a stop button :)

  5. Where does the time go indeed? Not that I mind too much that our winter is nearly over. Good luck with your training! I’m now 1 moth away from my next big goal and can’t believe it is so close already.

  9. Don't tell me about kids going off to college and being seniors in HS! It already feels as though the time goes too quickly!

  10. LOL. I'm having a hard time getting past "4 miles easy in 96deg" as an alternative plan...

    DramaGirl just started her sophomore year of HS...I have no idea how that happened ;-)
