Week cap....

Well this week has been very productive. I have officially been successful with the schedule now for 2 solid weeks. Bringing Kayden away in the morning and picking her up and somehow incorporating workout when-ever I can seems to be working. Last Monday I went for two runs. One in the morning of around 3.5 miles doing hill work, and a "break-through" run of around 6.4 miles later in the afternoon. I went out just to see how I felt and try some new technique things that JK has asked I try. I will be honest in that my stride length though may be larger than most people, my heart rate was actually lower with a slightly lower cadence around 70-ies. When I increased my cadence to around 80-90..... wow my HR went up by almost 10 bpm. My pace stayed the same and I tried it several times going both up and down grade. I was still able to go out on Tues for a spin. Wed for a run E1 for an hour. Thurs was a good day of 2400m in 50 min and later in the day a 40 mile Caynon run with a buddy who loves to put the hurt on me at any time he can. Well, in the canyon there are a lot of hills. I had my HR high (170-185) for a lot of that beginning until------ we went down hill... Being big has its advantages. Seems Mr. Hicks ran out of gears, and well with my large ass powering a rather large bike on a large hill.... gave me a satisfying large smile as I peddled right on by. We had a blast and covered the course in a blistering 1:40. Norm for me on a average day 1:55. Felt awesome!
Today I ran again for around 5 miles and did some weights.

I have officially been accepted to the Trybuy's Triathlon Team. Thanks to all parties!!
It is really exciting. There seem to be a good number of nice people who so far have some kick ass personalities. Jen does a great job at ordering things in a timely fashion as well as getting back to you in a very timely manner. There is a team ride tomorrow that I am sad to say that I will not be available to make. My wife has her spin class that means the world to her at 10 am. So being back by 9:30 to watch Kiki is important. So I called Jen and asked if anyone was interested in going earlier. Nope. But, she said that once I was done and finished that I should plan on meeting them for some Java. So I will! Going to grab KiKi post ride and give mama a break in the process. I know that the wife would not mind letting me go to meet them however, there will be next week. We have a family BBQ at 3pm so I really do not want to be gone from them all day.

So 3 hour ride tomorrow AM, and yes JK there will be no "f-ing" around. I have a rather strict workout planned with all variation HR ending with some hill repeats.

Later all!
