Week 8

Hello:


Well here I go again with an increase in weekly hours of swim, bike and run.   Even though last week was a recovery week, 8 1/2 hours still seemed a little tiring.   This week is 14.5 hours.  

I have developed a Mortons Neuroma in my left foot.   I had it injected by a Podiatrist yesterday and boy has that helped.   I did a 30 mile bike and 5 mile run, and low and behold my foot didn't kill me by the end.   I will need to do a lot of finagling in the up coming weeks in order to balance family and exercise.   I need to attend some CME conferences, and kids sporting activities.  I plan on riding my bike 100miles at least one day a week, and that will take 6-8 hours depending on wind and hills.   I made a down payment on my wet suit, and plan on starting my open water swims in 2 weeks.   Our weather still stinks, but I need to keep moving forewords as each day the race get closer.    I have gotten the cold weather training down.   I hope in the up coming weeks I can get some warm to hot weather training and acclimation.   I am concerned that by the time the race gets here, it will be very hot and my body will not be prepared for it.


Adios!
