Time is really flying by. I can't believe I only have a solid month of peak training, before starting to taper down to race day. These are really busy weeks. I am really trying to sort out my BIG ROCKS. It does get difficult. Thank you Audrey for being patient and understanding with me. I know I am a big pain right now.
I had a good solid week with 9 hours of training. Somewhere, I missed an hour on the bike so I came up a bit short. I did my long run in Yakima while visiting grandma and grandpa. I did a "terrain" run around the grapefields... through the mud and dirt and rocks. The grapes smelled wonderful and it was really a peaceful run with no traffic.
I have a Century Ride planned in Portland this Sunday. It will be a good test of my nutrition and endurance. Pray for clear skies. Big thanks to my sister Karen and brother Kurt who are coming down this weekend. Audrey and I may get a night out for an actual date night without kids!!!
Ironman Hawaii (World Championships) are this weekend. I will try to check out some of the video to find a bit more motivation. That's it for now...Off and running.
