Busy weekend again

Its Sunday night and I am pretty much exhausted as usual. I had a packed weekend with training, socializing and home maintenance/gardening. Saturday morning I went for a 2 hour run on the trail that I have been doing the last three weeks to get my endurance and distance up to snuff for the Mooseman triathlon. I am feeling pretty confident about my endurance running. The only little issue at the moment is that I have been getting blisters on my feet which is unusual for me. I am wearing the same type of sneakers that I always wear and I have been getting a blister in the same spot off and on for the past few months. (usually, the skin would toughen up after getting a blister once.) I have fancy Zoot running flats that I bought for racing but I am not sure if i will use them in Mooseman. I probably should just stick to what I have been using. I went to the wine show last night and was supposed to meet some friends out in a bar at 11 pm but couldn't do it. I can't stay awake that late these days.

I was up at 6:30 am this morning to go cycling with my friend, Tyler Read, at 8 am. We had a great ride out to Cavendish and then a stop at my place in New Glasgow where we met up with Darcy and Greg. We then went back to town. We didn't push it to hard but kept a good steady pace. The good thing with my biking is that I am starting to get the feeling that I could go quite a bit harder if pushed. In total, I did about 5 hours of training on the weekend which is not too bad. I took my dad, brother and sister out for lunch today for my dad's 82 birthday and then went to my place in New Glasgow and did yard work for about 3 hours. A full weekend as usual. I was just looking at the stats for the Red Island Relay and wishing I had done it. The hardest thing for me to accept sometimes is that I just can't do everything.

This coming week I won't get a huge amount of training in before I leave Friday morning for Mooseman. I plan to do a decent 2 hour ride Tuesday evening and a couple of runs and a couple of swims and that may be it.
