Weekend Nonsense.

Had a great run last night 6 miles, I kept pace and didn't die (maybe for a second in the beginning there) and maybe I happened to have led for a minute or two. It helped alleviate my calf soreness, yay. But it aggravated bicep/elbowy soreness (it's more of a tightness), boo. That's ok. Stretching, ibuprofen, protein (yay extra eggs for breakfast!), not lifting weights... All those things will help in the long run.

I always do better on the last portion of the run. I have to move that ease further up from mile three to mile one I think. In sprint triathlon, getting into the run at 3 miles, isn't so great, you know? What does that come down to: .1 miles of good performance? Yuck.

Looking at doing the Cranberry Olympic Distance one year from next weekend. (1.5 km/.93 mi swim, 40 km/24.8 mi bike, 10 km/6.2 mile run). I should be ready. :)

We saw District 9 after the run, and I really liked it! I made me want the Halo movie more though, I'll have to look and see if that's really dead or not... Maybe someone else will pick it up? Unrelated, but, I'm totally going to see Zombieland.

Kevan's at Timberman 70.3 this weekend. I'll kind of miss him. Kind of. ;) I may have some Kevan withdrawls, I may not. I may do some bike rides/runs with Danny over the weekend. Otherwise it's work, work, work then training, training, training.

Speaking of which, I'm operating without a training plan. I gotta look up something to stay on course. I'm just going with the flow for now, keeping the biking and the running current, that's all. Gotta get back out into the ocean soon, too.

Josh is coming out on the bike with me on Sunday afternoon, provided we don't get skimmed by a hurricane. I'm kind of excited to share this with him, the cycling thing. It would be nice for him to be able to come out and ride with me, and to have another exterior, non-marriage related interest together.

Benjamin's surgery is next week, so I'll have "vacation" for seven days. We've got an overnight in the hospital and about five days of recovery. It's nothing serious, just his huge tonsils. Hopefully he'll be ok so I can go out and do some training stuff at night. Norah will be at my parent's beach house in Matunuck for a couple of days so I can be more attentive to Ben.

If he'll sleep easier and breathe easier when he has colds (which is often) then whatever works. I'm trying not to be anxious about it. Everything will be ok.

Saturday we're going down to Narragansett to bike the half iron course. I am only mildy prepared. At least I'll get a feel for what it's going to be like. 56 miles eh? No stopping?

Sunday is the Cranberryfest Olympic Distance Try. I was invited, but I originally said, nah, I'm good on not going, but I may change my mind to see what I'm getting into and to root on John since he's participating. We'll see closer to then.

I may have a grown up vacation in the works, I'm kind of excited to go. Need to revisit my French though. :)

Gotta go plan out where I'm going to ride today. Rehoboth or Attleboro?
