Broken Sammie

RUN 1:50 and 9.25 miles on trails in the morning
BIKE 1:00 and 17 miles afternoon, indoors
RUN 1:00 and 6.25 miles TGP, afternoon

The original plan was to do this all at once in Greensfelder, but TV's plans changed when he did longer runs earlier in the week. I was a little grumpy over this, I admit, not fair to him, and my fatigue from yesterday added to the fact that I made wrong turns twice on the way to the park to meet him didn't help. I wasn't much fun to run with, I'm afraid.

I felt tired, but noticed as I have been noticing quite often lately, that no matter how tired I seem I just keep going. How much of the fatigue is mental then? Probably most of it! I spent the morning stupid-tired and unimaginative. Clumsy. And short fused with myself over mistakes.

The trails we ran were new to me, all on the northern side of the park. One was paved most of the way!! Paved, steep, hills!?

Drove home, had a small lunch, then kept to my promise of finishing the goals  but doing it as a two-a-day. I saw benefits in running in the heat of the afternoon (90F), getting my HR up twice, and simulating the late in the day ironman run.

It all worked out, and I was in a much better mood in the afternoon. Although still distracted, mindless, eating like a zombie, failing to nap, and loving the 18 hr week!

My swim has regressed something awful, due to a few things. I don't like it to begin with, I'm still nerved out about my DNF, and my pool time has dropped to only 2 swims this past week. FIX!
