This has been a good week of moederate training after my vacation in Cuba. My law practice is getting busier as it usually does in the Spring and Summer. I swam a couple of times last week and each time swam around 2000 metres. I probably should be swimming three times a week but haven't been able to fit that in. I ran once on Tuesday and had a good fast run. I did hot yoga on monday and friday. Saturday I did the mother's day time trial and added some training by biking out to it and back. The time trial was 20 k in windy conditions and I biked about 80 k in total. Today I ran for about 2 hours. I took my garmin with me and was surprised by how slow I was actually running. I ran about 22.5 k which is not that fast. But, I think you tend to run slower by yourself. I have run this route many times and it usually takes me longer. I am a bit sore and my right knee is aching at this moment (the one i think has a bit of arthritis)
It is amazing how your body adjusts to whatever distance you are training for. Last year during my ironman training, 2 hours would not have been a really long run. Now it is. I am planning on doing the China point duathlon in a couple of weeks and maybe the Red Island relay. I am hoping to make this summer about participating and having fun.
