Today started with drozzy enthusiasm. I wasn't feeling any aches or pains (except for the burn) and I still had the desire to keep training - I just had to wait for my brain to wake up this morning!
I did a light jog on the train tracks behind my place. I wanted to run outside but the heat was killer so I thought the shade of the tracks would suit me well. However, running on railroad tracks is not the smartest places to run for three very good reasons:
1. The obvious - the train came and I had to step to the side.
2. You are in the woods by yourself! Every noise sounded like a bear (and 2 damn dogs jumped out at me! Almost gave me a heart attack!)
3. The gravel and rocks don't provide any sort of footing to run with any rhythm.
That failed run was followed by joining a biking group at 6pm. A friend of mine invited me along and it was a slap to the face reality check. I HAVE NO BIKING LEG MUSCLES! The 4 other people in the group biked circles around me as I huffed and puffed just starring at the hills. My bike is no where near where it needs to be. I would be lucky to do 20km in an hour. This will have to be a focus on my training over the next month. I won't win with a good bike but I will definitely lose with the bike ability I currently have!
Tomorrow: Swim and Run.
Weight - still 195ish.
Night!
