Yes that is my life right now - early morning swim team followed by the bike. I have been hitting the trainer hard - I have really enjoyed doing some intervals like that. I actually enjoy the monotony of it if that makes any sense.
My Alter-G treadmill running is starting to pick up. Last week, I had three runs of 1 1/2 hours each. I think I maxed out at 75% of my body weight. Next week, the real deal starts happening as I hit 85% for 2 hours.
Right now I am on schedule to not only race again but race a bunch again and sooner than later. I have started my longer workouts now in anticipation of that eventuality.
Pictured below are the two Dave's that have found their way into my world. On my right is Dave Micilli and on my left is Dave Campbell. These guys are great training partners and I value their friendship.
Its been a while since I put up a thought for the week but after watching a U.S. Navy Seal talk about his time in theatre I adopted his mantra.
Thu my thought and my mantra for the extended future is:
It's only pain if you acknowledge it. I have work to do and I don't have the luxury of self pity.
