Still training

I have had some heavy traveling lately with the NRA (restaurant NRA, not guns) in Chicago and now I am in Vancouver, Canada so the training has been a little sporadic. The hotel conditions in Chicago were atrocious so I didn't really get to train much there which was fine since I was on my feet all day long for 4 days working a trade show booth. Being on my feet, along with my dress shoes hurting so bad made my ankles, calves and knees hurt so bad that I had to take a few days off even when i got back home.

I finally got to run in the past week and the first run felt great even though my time wasn't great and the bike still feels strong. I got new slick tires and a computer for my mountain bike so I finally get to ride a real bike instead of the stationary bike at my gym. As i stated before, swimming still sucks. My second run after Chicago was Sunday afternoon at 5pm and it was a STRUGGLE to finish but the good news was that my time was only 30 seconds slower than my previous run that felt great so that was actually encouraging to me that it could feel THAT bad and still be a decent time.
