Early AM - 3 miles, ~7 min pace, groin sore (4), hammies tight (2), otherwise feel fine. Would have brought Lucy but she inhaled a rawhide right before I left so I decided to spare her. Or maybe me.
AM Rode into work, easy spin, mtn bike - 42 minutes. No groin pain whatsoever!
Mid AM ... had a great yap with that guy who is killing it at BS&B. If you ain't reading his stuff, you ought to. This guy is training hard, racing well, and living the life. I noted this in our "conversation ... I said:" I was thinking yesterday that I might be thinking too much about my training ... and hence I need to take a bit of the so called caveman approach for a bit ... run more, not give a crap about HR gear, run fast when I want, run slow when I want, run mountains, etc ... I have had a bit of a wash in March: good mileage for a bit, bad mileage for a bit ... nothing really pushing the pace. Not a big deal in the grand scheme as I am 21 weeks out (more of an issue in my head rather than in race preparedness), but I need to get on the horse again ...
Totally unrelated, someone at work sent me this ... JW, let's form a team!
Mid day - up on the Davidson Mesa. 'nother beaut day. Groin felt a bit better (2), hammies tight (4), and my Ach. was pissed on the left side (screw it, it is always something). 8 miles. My left hammie got increasingly tight as the afternoon wore on (cripes, is this a training blog
More warped music to free (or bend) your mind by ...
PM - end of day rode home. 25 minutes. Zero pain in the groin. When I bike these days, it just feels good. No pain. I can control how much I want I hurt with pace. I used to feel that way when I run, but not lately. Hmm. Might be a message there. Might need to cross train more. Thought about getting out for an other run in the evening, but life prevailed.
Pikes race stuff ... the other day I posted that I think Pikes needs to change registration (long term) to one based on qualifications (graded by age) rather than continuing the practice of allowing anyone who can meet the current standards. Looks like there are some similar musings on Kona by a local tri guy. |
