"This is Soooo Hard"



But I'm doing it anyway.

Sunday I did nothing.

Monday I rode easy for 50 kms and then ran 2 kms.

Tuesday I tried running but to no avail. After 4 kms of run/walk it became just walk! I did prove that I can walk 7 kms at 8 min pace, which is good to know. At that speed I can walk the Ironman marathon in 5:40 which may be exactly what I will be trying to do.

Wednesday I swam 2000 metres. That counts as nothing!

Today I did nothing....again.

Tomorrow I will swim 4000 metres. Again that counts as nothing

It is so hard to be so inactive and yet I felt I had no choice. I was dying a slow painful death as it was.

Saturday I will try my next bike and run, but even then I will take it easy and make it short.

Hopefully all that rest means I will be totally recovered and in a position to cram a few more intense weeks in before I have to start to taper. I'm studying that element right not to determine just how short a taper I can get away with, and how intense I can be.

Life goes on!
