Sept. 16, 2010 Routine will be your friend.

Little by little routine is taking over my training.  That is a good thing.  Yesterday I went for a bike ride same route and distance as Monday.  This time I felt much better about it.  The ride westbound was easy and pretty uneventfully.  On my way back I hooked up with the godfather of Gabriela and 3 others which were doing the same route in training for a Mountain Bike event in Guatemala.  Yesterday I had my lights so riding at night was not a problem.  I drafted with them fairly quickly thru the hardest part of the route right next to the beach with the wind in our faces.  We rode kind of fast and I could not believe those guys rode that fast in those bikes.  We got separated with about 6 miles to go as they continued their 3 hour training and I headed back to my office.  I felt really good after my ride and actually slept pretty good.  It was a little bit hard to get up today as I am very tired by now.  Jochi and Gaby were not going to training today because they went to sleep late last night doing school work.  i had to think for a minute to get into the cold water but with no remedy I just jumped in.  my form is a lot better and I don't feel clumsy anymore.  Practice was fairly normal and I just feel tired from all the weeks training.  This afternoon I will go for a short run around the house and then will pack it up for the night and tomorrow which is a rest day.  Rest, thank god!!!!  I really need the rest so I will do my best to do just that. Rest!!!

Next week will be new as I have to travel for two days.  I will have to figure out a way of traveling and training so I will discuss this new twist with coach K and we will see.
