Last night, I almost bailed on doing back and biceps, but I promised myself I wouldn't skip 1 workout. So, even though it wasn't the best effort, I did the best I could. That, my friends, is the ticket. Perfect time to remind you of one of my favorite quotes, "Struggle is a whole lot less painful than regret". So true.
Today, I worked abs and then went for my 60 min run of which 35 mins had to be at 8:20-8:50 pace. I started off like a snail but by min 10 I was ready. I've determined the first 10-20 mins of each swim, bike, and run basically suck. It was pretty warm and I stocked my Nathan running belt with 2 10 ounce bottles. I'm unclear on the theory of hydration over specific distances and specific temperatures, humidity, etc. So, I tested my own unproven theory of building resistance and thermo regulation by not having anything. Not sure if that was the right move and I plan to reach out to the Beachbody folks, my Coach, and others to dial this in. No question, the endurance events will demand spot on nutrition and hydration.
Tonight, I'm back in the pool. Endurance is creeping forward.
Tomorrow, I travel to Riverhead, Long Island for the Tour de Cure - a bike ride to raise money for diabetes. They're calling for rain. Should make the 55 miles interesting.
