Maybe more rain today?

BIKE 16 miles in just under an hour, 6x [4 mins HARD, 1:15 rest]
SWIM 2400 yards in just under an hour, 2x [300-200-100]
COMMUTE 6.5 miles from Y to work to home
OWS or rain? RAINED!

I let myself sleep in until 5:15 to gain a little back from that lost last night. Then spent until 6am packing lunch and prepping my preWO meal. All in my effort to sit and enjoy food. It takes a lot of time, no wonder the habit doesn't stick.

The bike was almost a trainer ride, but it was too nice outside. I headed to TGP and found a great 4 min loop, my MapMyRide guess is about 1.4 miles long, starts near Grand and goes to my "2 mile" turn-around at the pavilion, then back down the center road towards Grand. I finish with enough distance to recover then go around again. No cars for the most part, a nice little 'track' workout kinda. I am still low on energy, but was able to push good efforts today. Not speedy like I want though, still don't have that.

Rode the to gym, got my swim done. With a chance of rain tonight and a possibility of missing the OWS for storms, I wanted to be sure I got a quality swim done. I didn't get into the water until 8:40! How does time fly so fast?! Swim was OK, not speed like I wanted. And the speed in the 100's I had a month or so ago is gone, just haven't found it again. Too tired? I lost some magic somewhere! I was doing today's intervals in about 1 min/50y.

I keep thinking of things I want to remember from this season.
--In my TGP rides, I pass a woman with a wonderful patchouli type scent. I'd like to stop and ask her what it is, but wouldn't that be weird for her!? Every time a bike goes by she'd wonder if it's that person who likes how she smells!?

--I haven't worn my wedding rings in a few weeks now. They don't fit and I'm worried I'll lose them in the OWS or they'll peel off with my bike gloves.

--No facial tics this season, and few phantom pains. I do get pains, but I don't think they stem from my mind messing with me.

--How pretty everything is, and how heightened my senses seem. I'm noticing things from everyday life that I'm happy to experience. I realize that if blind or deaf or without other senses I'd miss out on enjoying them. Simple things usually, but I'm taking the time to take note.
