Day 98: Sometimes I just wanna sleep in, but when that alarm goes off at 6:45 am there is only one thing to do.... Get out of bed and start training. I really am enjoying the training part, but I am ready for the day to just sleep in. I actually felt good waking up after my century yesterday, and now it was time to go for a 9 mile run. Today was really humid and it was not fun running. I was only 1.5 miles into the run and I was already literally dripping sweat. If it wasn't for the humidity it would have been a perfect morning for a run. I did the 9 mile loop from my house running around Virgina Highlands and Emory. I was really struggling in the beginning and about 4 miles in my legs started to loose up and I started feeling good. I guess I should say I felt good when I wasn't running up hills and on the route there are a lot of hills. I hope all this hill training will have me ready for Wisconsin, but for some reason those the hills never seem to get easier. I was glad to be done though and ready for a shower. I could have rank out my running clothes when I was done, because of how bad I was sweating from the humidity. I enjoyed the rest of the morning relaxing for a little and watching tv, until it was time to hop in the car and head to Allatoona Lake to go swimming. I swam with Get Fit Atlanta today and boy was it nice to get in the water. I felt really good swimming and I felt like my stroke was staying strong the whole time!!! I can really tell I am get strong in everything. I swam 3,800 yds and felt good the whole time. Since it was the weekend the lake was crowd and there were a lot of boats outside of the cove, but because of the boats it was making the water chopping which was really good experience. There was a little bit of a current as well so I also had to swim against a current going out, but it was nice to have the current on my side going in. Overall today was a really good training day and I had a very good training week!!! I got in about 18 hours of training!!!! I can't believe Ironman Moo Moo (Wisconsin) is only 3 months away. Hoping my training continues like this.
A person fails to reach their potential when they fail to pay the price.
