Soooo tired...

It's not pining, it's passed on! This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he would be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolical processes are of interest only to historians! It's hopped the twig! It's shuffled off this mortal coil! It's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This.... is an EX-PARROT!

I am running on fumes right now. I would love to bike for 1hr tonight if the weather holds, but I might just skip it. My training so far this week:

Monday - Swim: 1,600m at a steady pace, run: 5mi hills
Tuesday - Swim: 2,000m drills and fast, run: 10mi
Wednesday - Swim: 1,600m at a steady pace, run: 5x1,000m (3:59, 3:59, 3:58, 4:12, 3:59)
Thursday - Run: 16mi in 2:20

Tomorrow morning, I''ll go for a swim and an easy 45min run on my favorite hilly route.

This Saturday I get to see a bunch of my college buddies that live all over the country. I'll use the 5K race to confirm my heat rate settings. After 3 readings, my resting heart rate is 45bpm, and my max heart rate is 195bpm.

On Sunday, I'll go for a 2 or 3hr bike ride, followed by a 30min brick. Then I'll be tapering next week for the Bassman 70.3.

"easy" and "hilly" don't belong in the same sentence. nor should "hilly" and "fun" (ahem...fb)

make sure you are getting enough rest/recovery! Just as important as the hard work.

I hope you guys have run at the reunion and 5k!
