RUN 90 mins and 10 miles
SWIM about 55 mins and 2200 yards, 3x400
I joined TH and the Evolve group for a Sunday stroll in the park. There was a light misty rain before the run, leaving behind a humid, foggy day. It was cool out, but perfect for running once warmed up. And as always I was overdressed!
I started off feeling slow and weak, more motivated than I was earlier in the week but still sluggish. But as the run progressed I started feeling more and more awake. It might be timed with the gel I took at 45 mins. I think my usual pre-run brekkie isn't sugary enough and is too heavy. Something to think about.
Once I was done, TH still had another 45 mins. I would have loved to join her, but I need to keep the taper under control! And she wouldn't let me do it :)
Off to the pool to meet RM for a swim. This meeting-up-with-friends is the best thing for me right now, when I'm stressed and burning out. Maybe we could set up a regular swim from all this?
The 4x300 went slick. I timed the last one at just over 8 mins yet I felt fast and smooth. I'll take it.
The BHB was there! Some rambling about news before I suggested she watch less news. RM was surprised at this, and he has me thinking about how I responded to her. I need to be a nice person!
NUMERICS for the 2nd taper week. 15:20 (goal was 15:30!)
SWIM 2:45 and 6500 yards
BIKE 7:46 and 136.1 miles
RUN 4:49 and 32.1 miles
COMMUTE 18 miles
I didn't feel good in the taper until Thursday. Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty bad, mentally and physically. But Thursday's run was the turn-around point. Lots of rain and a full moon maybe helped :)
