Finally had a good run this week. It wasn't at the right pace but it felt good. I was able to find a rhythm with a solid stride. Cadence was down. Hopefully that means everything is falling back into place. I changed the time of the workout and that seemed to help. Also made sure I fueled up earlier. Now it is time to get the swim back on track. I had nothing in the pool. I felt like I was treading water. Usually the swim is my fall back. I can always smooth out and get in a groove. Not lately. Have to schedule lunch in the pool for a while.
I have signed up for the Cardinal Harbour Half Ironman on July 17. This serves two purposes. I get in a solid training day 6 weeks out. I also get to do the race on a large portion of the IMLOU bike course. It will be a great gauge. Make no mistake, I will not be racing this one. I will be treating it completely as training. I say that now because I have no idea if I can convince myself of that once the race starts. Don't want to do race intensity because I might no recover enough in time to excel on August 29th.
Was invited to a dinner party at Doe's last night. About 20 guys for great food and fellowship. My buddies Walter and Harry got us into a discussion about what I am doing and the cause I am trying to serve with it. If the discussions are any indications the Jackson Graves Foundation will be getting some more small donations before August. That is fantastic!!!
Langley Out!!!
