May 2018

interesting Month. I am feeling stronger, however my stamina is still lacking.  My last couple of training runs for the Helvetia half June 9th  have felt  pretty good.

I have stepped up the training by riding my bike into the office each day with the exception of Monday and Thursday, with a long ride on Sunday., 18 plus miles.  This is currently long for me!

This is part of the prep for the Haig Lake Duathalon July 7th. This is the race I am really  looking forward to. I love the dual sport events. In that same week I also have the Foot Traffic Sauvie Island flat half. That is always a great July 4th event.

For strength training I have been attending a HIIT class at the gym.  Definitely adds fuel to the Pain train.

Still on the mission of the 10:00 min event!!!!

Week Ending 04-15-2108

Final long run in the bag for the Eugene /2 Marathon on April 29, 2018. Finished the last long training run. Just finishing the 12 mile run put me in a good head space knowing I can complete the race. I am not at the race pace I want to be, however the season is early. 

Lets see what comes next week. Supposed to be a little moist, which is expected for spring weather

Check back soon for another update on the pain train.

• Today was an interesting day. I started the first day of trying to do some weight training.
• Think I will need to find a gym that has a program. On my own, not to much incentive.

• That sucked. It was windy, semi rainy, and the day before I did track work out. I got as far as 5 miles and said screw it, I am hitting he couch.
• Worked our well. the next day Monday I hit the Foot traffic group run and we did hills all over the Cornell area. Glad I took the rest
