BIKE COMMUTE 6.4 miles
When I peeked ahead to my run schedule this week, I was relieve to see I'm only doing 3 miles tomorrow. Instead of 4. Awwww is somebody tired?! ;)
The run sequence this week is 3-10-7 midweek then 10-10 this weekend. Therapy sessions with the 3 and 7. The 7 might have to change for that so I can get there on time? I know it's sports therapy and all, but no need to be stinky! Thursday will be a schedule challenge no matter what. Bah, plan it later.
Today -- holy cow -- tired. Puffy. Swollen. Sluggy. Even my face is tired and swollen. I slept great last night, hydrated, and have an appetite. Happily I'm not hurting (back or legs or feet) and that's a good thing. Just feel like I'm carrying pounds and pounds of water weight. I can see and feel it in my feet and toes! From experience I know that the day or two after a long weekend can be like a body flush -- might not be drinking much but a lot coming out anyway!
Things to be thinking ahead on, now that the race only has 4 more training weekends! EEEK!
1. Drop bag planning and nutrition counting.
2. The mental breakdown of the race, I'm thinking 3 legs: out, back, then out-n-back.
3. Gear packing and checklists
4. My ride home Sunday!
5. Drop bag treats to look forward to during the run.
Other goals I feel like I need to hit:
One more solid all-trails 30+20 weekend. So far I've done a few 30+15, this past weekend was a 20+30, but the 20 was road. Trails take longer, are more entertaining, and better simulate the race. In talking to a runner I met yesterday, I learned that the first out and back of Kettle is "runnable", rolling meadows, the like. Look for a trail or path that sims that for the 20?
