Heavy legs

I woke up this morning and felt really heavy in the legs. My rhm was 61 which is 10 or so beats more than normal. Something is/was up. In any case, I decided to just do something easy.

One hour, easy spinning, on the trainer.
I felt much better coming off the bike than I did getting on, which is good. I guess I just had some trapped byproduct of yesterday's run in my leg muscles.
I have been putting in a lot of hours over the last couple weeks and have been feeling really good/strong. I don't want to overdo it though. I think I will be very ready for the half ironman in June. I have done a good job training--I do need to get in a few four hour rides done--but in general, I have done well. More importantly, for the main goal of 2005, I will have a good base for going after the 3:10 in the Fall. An overuse injury would suck at this point. As well, I like my mental framework right now, I don't want to get burned out.

As we all can see, you HAVE done really well with your training! Keep up the good work and positive attitude. I hope you will continue to be injury-free! Your determination and dedication is very inspiring--albeit a little intimidating! Thanks for sharing your experiences and photos.

You're doing great! I admire your tremendous focus and training regimen in preparation for the half ironman in June.

By the way, I was the "Yankee fan from a long time ago." It's been "Go Cards," however, for an equally long time.

My best,

Don't be intimidated by me, there is a world of people out there that make me look like a slacker. And I was glad to see that the Cards got off on the right foot.
