I had big plans on Monday to do a half ironman distance on my own, or should I say with a little help from Claire, but alas, I came down with a 48 hour flu. Instead of out on the road enjoying the beautiful weather, I was under some blankets on the couch with a 102 degree temperature. I didn’t feel much better on Tuesday. On Wednesday evening I ran for 70 minutes up in Anadel. I felt great and kept up a good pace. I had a little tightness in the calves at the hour mark, but nothing I couldn’t live with. Claire came along on her mountain bike so that she could get some fresh air also. It is tough being motivated at the end of the work day sometimes. Today we should hopefully get out of the shop a couple of minutes early and do some hill riding.
