Late July

Had a great week of vacation visiting family in Indiana. Did a reduced volume of training (run and bike and Schwinn Airdyne machine with Mom)but good efforts including a 4 hour ride with Andy in very muggy, hot, sunny weather. Played golf with Phil which I have not done in eons. Thanks Phil. Had great food all week from Mom and Cheryl and Phil.

On Sunday the 24th I biked up Paris Mountain 3x and I was slow and the heart rate high. I have lost my conditioning. It was a stressful 3 hour ride so I took next two days off. Plus work was very stressful (same as always). Today I biked an hour then tonight swam 2000 yards. Tomorrow a big ride and maybe a little run afterwards. Darn heatwave will not stop so go early.

As I keep thinking about October 29, it is hard to keep the motivation up. There is uncertainty to me signing up. It has to do with possible scheduling conflict which I can't explain here. I want to do a 140.6!
