Rain rain go away!!!!!!!


I need to change this training schedule of mine. The one I keep trying to follow has my long day on Friday, yet Fridays always seem to be the day I have the least amount of time. They are the day that I relax a bit generally as I gear up for my weekends. Typically I get my swim in and put off the biking until Saturday.

Training schedule calls for 128 M on the bike today. My AM swim was not quite the length it should have been but at least I managed to get my session in. Stupid snooze bar got me again! Tonight I am actually happy my husband has a shooting match so I will have a couple hours to myself to actually get my biking in on Friday for once...although it would be much more enjoyable if it was not pouring when that time came. I keep telling myself I will do my entire biking session tonight even if it does rain. I figure the rain is in the forecast through early next week and I may just have to race in it on Sunday so I might as well just get used to dealing with it. I am just not sure I am really going to enjoy my ride so much in the rain.

Today I also have my first appointment with Cleveland Spine & Performance Health and Dr. Keyes, who is an ART-certified provider for Ironman USA - Lake Placid. I continue to have pain in my left leg which I think is my hip flexor causing pain that runs down into my inner knee cap. It seems to come and go in terms of how much it bothers me and I figure since this has been going on for months, I should probably get it checked out to see if I can do something about it. About time, I know!

This weekend I have a couple things planned which include the Cleveland Tri Club Picnic Saturday and the Stow Duathlon Sunday...both of which I am looking forward to!

I am wishing the rain away down here in Tennessee too!!

Hope you can get some relief for your leg...stuff like that can really be annoying.

Good luck in your Duathlon!

I don't know what the heck to wear on the bike in this rain!

See you at the picnic tomorrow!

Wow, is the bike ride you have today for 128 minutes? That's a pretty long ride! I don't envy you having to ride in the rain. Do you have a trainer?

Good luck at the Duathlon this weekend! Make sure you drink some fluids! :)

Yup, long rain ride on tap for me. Must keep telling myself this is so...no whoosing out!

No trainer, I am hoping to buy my wetsuit this month, heart rate monitor sometime later this year and a trainer before the snow comes later this year. Year one of getting into tri's is $$$$$$!

What day is your normal day off? I hope you are taking one day of each week. I use Friday as my rest day. Sleep in a little and relax for the rest of the day.

Don't let the rain deter you. You may have to race in it so you may as well train in it.

I think you will be happy with ART. I see Dr. Zak in Westlake and he has helped alot.
