Coming together

My training seems to be coming together somewhat in that I am feeling a bit stronger and faster n the various disciplines. Wednesday afterwork I did a run that included a 30 minute time trial and I enjoyed it by the end of it. At first, it took me a while to get used to going all out but after 15 minutes or so I started to feel better. I had my heart rate monitor on for a change (which I should use more) and my heart rate went up from 120 something to 145 when I started the time trial and got up to about 150 at the peak. That is fairly high for me as I have trained a lot at a slow or moderate pace where my heart rate is in the 120's.

Thursday, I was in Halifax for work and took the day off. I did a bunch of gardening in New Glasgow which helps me deal with the guilt of spending so much time training. This morning I forgot my swimsuit again and had to go back to my place in town for another one. I managed to swim 2700 m and the main set was doing 10-100m progressively faster and then doing 5-100m all out. I felt quite strong. Afterwork today, I am going to run and I am supposed to do 5 minute intervals all out followed by 3 minute recovery period. Tomorrow, I am planning a 90 k bike ride followed by a short run and then a long run on Sunday.
