Makes for a difficult ride to work this morning. I did not realize how much wind was blowing this morning until a mile or so into my ride. At this point I realized I was working very hard and not much speed was happening. The trip into town took 10 minutes longer than normal and I felt every minute! This string of thunderstorms every day is creating havoc on my commute. When I arrived to work I went online & discovered the winds were 10-12mph WSW — a headwind the whole way — hopefully, this translates to a tailwind going home. We can hope
I do not mind riding in the rain, thunderstorms are a different matter. We shall see how the afternoon falls, I just might get lucky and enjoy a repreive from the weather on the journey home.
Livestrong.

Finally pushing myself back into excercise groove. Getting tired of seeing the roll above my waistband. I am still signed up for Sundancer Adventure Race October 4th so it’s now or never if I plan to be in shape for this race. Actually, this morning was pretty nice although a warm 80 at 5:30am! I wore a regular t-shirt and sweated something fierce. The “keep dry” shirts work so much better I will try to remember in the morning. (Tomorrow is bike day) I will start the dog running with me again soon but I need to get my ‘legs’ back a little before I take on the long legs of a labrador.
Hopefully in couple weeks I will be ready for my canine running partner again. Livestrong.

The training has taken a back seat too often the past six months. I have a race in 4 months and I want to do well. There is still time for me to get in shape but no time left to waste. The weather has been very iffy in the mornings (thunderstorms) so any day could change from outside to indoors at moment’s notice. I need to switch btwn running and cycling every day with one day a week off from both. On my running days I need to add in strength training after work. LOTS OF WATER, stay hydrated… high temps are averaging low 90s most days. Livestrong another day.
