no sleep = no swim X2

I'm taking a page outta Kelly B's book...except I didn't have a child to keep me up at night but rather insufferable heat. Some day we'll get AC for our house...

Anyways, I was feeling sluggish/tired come lunch time so I bailed on swimming and instead worked through lunch.

Ran last night in 32 degree weather....ended up being 50 instead of the 60 minutes stated on my schedule. I had 30 minutes at tempo effort and D-I-E-D during the last 2 minutes. Total train wreck and walked the last couple of minutes before jogging the rest of the way home and cutting the workout short. I am not complaining about the heat though...love it...hopefully it sticks around after Aug 2 to enjoy some beverages in.

This evening I have a brick workout to do...another georgous evening here in Calgary. 60 minute ride with a 30 minute run - both done at a high aerobic effort. After that I have to walk the dogs as I didn't peel the mattress off of my back in time this morning to do it before work.

Happy National Hot Dog Day (USofA)

I hope you give me lots of warning that you are about to pass me during the race. That way, I can hunker down, and hang on for dear life in the buffeting wind of your passage.

How will I know who you are?

I think we should dress as our favourite super heros race day...I know Kelly B will be Wonder Woman...I'm thinking the Green Lantern or Ironman (no pun intended).

How many orange and black Orbea's will be there with a huge-ass guy wearing a red Canada jersey?
