Ahhhh Tuesday. Now that’s better. Yesterday was uneventful. I swam 1000 yards after work and then rode on the trainer for 20 mins. I cut the swim short b/c my form was falling apart, I cannot seem to get back into the groove, it blows, but I am not too worried, I’m sure it will come back soon. I came home to a nice surprise in the mail. One of the guys from CTC burned me a bunch of spinning DVDs, so now I get to try all of those out. Exciting. I had said that I wasn’t tired really from my 20 miler, but I did end up with some pain in my left shin and my right hamstring. When I ran this morning, just an easy 3 miler, I definitely felt like my legs were spent. I have a massage tonight and I cannot wait. For those of you in the area if you need an awesome masseuse you should go to Sky MacDonald on Lee Road. She’s only $65 for an hour and she’s really good. I have got to get better about getting a massage at least once a month. My hamstring is so tight I hope it will feels better tomorrow. I made the fatal mistake of going back to sleep after working out this morning so I feel like a zombie, ugh.
I am so excited that Mindy is coming this weekend! I hope it stops raining and warms up b/c I really want to take her on the trail run we did for the buckeye trail HM in Jan.

Well I am going to make myself get out of bed (which I haven't seemed to be able to do at all this week) just to come see you at spinning tomorrow AM. May swim friday even!
I notice my swim falls apart after hard sets. I am beginning to believe I shouldn't be concerned with speed but to slow down and focus on technique.
Damn--I want to go to the bike store with you and Gary (if you're treating) :-)
Wait a minute... a massage AND a bike shop spree? In the same year? I am J-E-A-L-O-U-S!
p.s. I suppose I can put my envy aside just long enough to say thanks for the comments on my blog and adding me to your blogroll -- that made my day! And I'm so glad I'm not the only bike hermit!
OK. How about sharing the wealth with the spinning dvd's. I need some motivation on the bike.
As for trails, they are more fun when they are all muddy.
I've needed a good masseuse all my life. Thanks for the recommendation.
My stroke falls apart when my mind and body just aren't jiving. Which is quite often. I second Papa Louie's sentiment. Your form comes first.
We missed you on Saturday, but you had higher goals to reach! I didn't want you to think you were among the reprimanded. You do anything but wimp out.
Next week we should run. Whatever distance you're running, I'll join you. I just hope I can keep up!
Hey Mon -- just wanted to say hi and let you know I'm enjoying reading about your training. I'm thinking of getting into tris -- I swim and run already, but I don't think I can put the money toward a bike and a bunch of new gear right now. Anyhow, keep going with your training, and let me know if you have any swimming questions!

Thanks for the heads up on a massage - that is an awesome price - I may have to check it out.
