Tired Tuesday TAD

RUN 8.2 miles in 75 mins, 3x 4x400
BIKE 25.75 miles in 1:45
COMMUTE 3 miles home

All day long I just kept thinking about how SM told TH to take Tuesday off, that she needed a day off after the CE race. When was my day off? Well that's up to me!! And I've decided it's not today.

I was feeling tired and worn out so I changed the goal of the workout from 90% effort to "a reasonably hard effort based on current conditions". The plan said WU then 3x 4x400 (100 rest), with 800 rest between sets. 400's sounded so easy, just once around the track. And, since there are 12 of them I could do a 'holiday run' in which I think about each month for the 12 laps.

BE, who told me about the 12 months 400's run, joined me for Sept thru Dec. I didn't time any intervals, tried not to walk any of the rests aside from a few meters, and surprisingly felt OK considering!

The bike ride was a few loops of TGP, a bottle refill at the YMCA, then 1+ loops of FoPa to round out the time. The streets were wet from some rain but otherwise no problems. I love seeing all the people in the park -- the variety of types, clothes, form, colors, goals, groups, it had me smiling most of the ride. I think people who have to drive to work are going to be grumpy all day because they didn't get to have a great bike ride :)

I learned in an email today that my upcoming 2.4 mi swim on Saturday probably won't be wetsuit legal. Why am I not more nervous about this? It's 2 loop, meaning I can stop after one loop if things aren't going good for me. That's a comfort to know. And it's better to get this uncertainty out of the way before MiTi. What if that race isn't wetsuit legal!?
