As I’m writing this the little count down clock in the corner of my computer screen tells me that there is 60 days and 20 hours to go before the start of Ironman Lake Placid. I feel like my training so far has gone pretty well for the time that I have. Looking at the…
Rain, short slow run and swim
Rain again this morning, fortunately it held off until I got my very short run in. Woke up late this morning and didn’t get to the gym until 5:20. I was hoping to do a slow 5 mile run, but had to turn it into a slow 5K run so I could be back when…
Sunday long ride
Well, it wasn’t quite raining today, but it wanted to! It was really kind of a miserable day for a ride as the temperature was 48 degrees and only made it to 51. I felt comfortable the entire ride, but never really felt like I could get my legs loose and comfortable. Just one of…

Yes, it is still raining
Not much too report today. Did a 1 hour 15 minute ride on the CompuTrainer this morning. It was a recovery ride to recover from the hard ride on tuesday and long run yesterday. The goal was to keep my heart rate under 140 for the entire ride and keep the candence at 90. Really…
Running in the rain, yet again!
I pulled into the Danvers Y at 5:08 this morning to meet Heidi and Julie who were going to run the first 7 miles of my long run with me today. It was pouring, coming down in buckets. Julie pulls in and few minutes later and it is still pouring. Normally I would have just…
Rain and more Rain
Looks like it is going to rain all week. I had hoped to start going outside for a few of my rides during the week in the morning, but the weather is just not cooperating. Headed down to the garage again this morning and did a Tempo ride on the CompuTrainer. Pretty much had the…
Speed? run and swim
Went for my run this morning and thought I might try to pick up the pace since I was on my own today. Felt pretty good after the 1st mile 8:06, then hit the wind heading out to the DHS track, managed a 7:33 into the wind. Mile 3 around the track was ok, other…
Ashokan Reservoir Run
In Kingston, NY for the day so it seemed like a good reason to go run along the Dam. It’s nice and quiet up there because for the most part cars are not allowed, there are a few sections, but even there they are few and far between. Sometimes if you are lucky you can…
Swim and a long ride today
Started out the morning at the Andover pool. Mike K. showed up and proceeded to kick my butt up and down the pool. Would think I never learned how to swim the way he just pulls away from me. Swim workout: 500 swim 500 pull 100 swim 300 pull —- main set twice — 375…
