Training went great today. Started off at the pool and did a 1km warm up into 6 x 200 odd pull, and even free mod. I was supposed to do 10 but that got real boring. To my luck a couple old swim buddies were doddling around and wanted to do a fast set. We finished with 300 pull hard into 3 x 100 ball busters! Then 200 pull hard into 4 x 50 on 50 then 100 pull hard into 4 x 25m IM. Cooled it down and called it a day.
That afternoon Shannon called and wanted to get out for a run. I had to do a 60 min ez run with pick ups so Shannon stuck in strong and had a great run! We then headed up North to visit my friends in Walter Falls. (Very far north)
It was shitty weather but we had a great time Saturday, and might I add my first day off in ages! We went caving and off roading, so the weather didn't hold us back that much. We would have liked to climb but the weather would not let us.
Today (sunday was a great day) The day started on the track with 4 x 1km repeats. They felt ok, legs were tired from the past week so was able to hold 3:23 per km, that is 3 seconds slower then Thursday. Then I was going to head down to the Toronto Marathon to cheer on Steve in the Marathon and the Craven's in the 5km Corp Race. After almost getting run off the road my plans changed quickly and I headed north. I ended up at Rattlesnake Point throwing down some repeats on the biggest hill in Southern Ontario. Then did a mod 30 min run off the bike. CLEARWATER 4 WEEKS AWAY
NOW FOR THE EXCITING NEWS!! Steve Santia Qualified for the Boston Marathon in a stunning 3:04:44. After months of training, injuries and dealing with me he has done it. CONGRATS, I couldn't be more happy for you! I will be there in Boston cheering you on! ALSO! Jim throwing down a 5km in 21 min and Deb throwing down a 27min 5km! That is aweomse....hard work pays off. Congrats to all and I am excited for the training over the next year!
