- Thank you to everyone for their well wishes for Flash. And, for not making me feel like a wack-job for being so concerned about a dog. It means a lot. My buddy Flash started Phenobarbital today to help control his seizures.
- Last week my schedule got a little out of whack and things didn't go quite as planned. I am human. It was just one of those weeks where I got done what I could and didn't sweat what I couldn't get done. I am trying to learn to let it go. Still ended up with decent running mileage, but barely swam or biked.
- Changing my training schedule around for the 50-miler and experimenting with some different training options - but, most importantly returning to the back-to-back long runs, as opposed to the long ride/brick Saturday and the long run Sunday. This will have me going into the Half-Ironman a little less prepared than I usually am, but will ensure I'm fully prepared for the 50-miler.
- Played tennis with Dan on Sunday and got dominated. It was the first time I had played tennis since I was like 9 and played with my brother in our driveway. Sadly, my skills have not improved any.
- I've become addicted to Baskin Robbins. They opened one not far from our house, and I am there all.the.time. I am not even that big of an ice cream person. I blame the heat.
- Do you ever have those days, weeks, months, where it just seems you can never catch up? It seems like every day I have a to do list a mile long, and more often then not, only 1 or possibly 2 things get done on them. And, I don't even have kids. How is it that I cannot keep even keep up with the laundry or keep the house clean?
- I'm getting really excited for college football season. Especially since my Gamecocks are supposed to be damn good this year!
- I think that's about all I have to report. It's only hump day, I'm exhausted, and need a nap

Hotter than Hell
No really, it is. Today is day 70 of 100+ degrees high for the year. It is wearing me out and making me grumpy. Also, kind of lazy. Hence, today's bullet list:

I am exhausted too! It must be this heat!
ReplyDeleteahhh the heat definitely sucks, and i do not miss it. training for MCM last year in Virginia was not pleasant, thought training this year in Monterey is very pleasant.
ReplyDeleteI am having a three month span of not being able to keep up as we speak.
One last thing...i can stomach SC cause you have the "old ball coach", but i am a huge Florida fan, so watch out! Unfortunately, SC never seems to live up to the expectations.
Mike...Florida fan?? Say it ain't so! But, you are absolutely correct in the fact that SC never lives up to expectations. That is what makes being a Gamecock fan so heartbreaking!
