Well, as smoothly as this week looked on paper, it hasn't turned out to be as such. Yesterday while all prepared for my long run, I got 5.5 under my belt at the local track with a friend, then my cell phone rang (normally don't carry one, but happened to throw it in the pack today). It was Andrew's preschool calling to say he was feeling sick, laying on the floor, crying. There was no way I could leave that poor child to suffer, so I busted it home, hopped in the car and picked him up.
So, the plan changed. Instead of my long run I amended it to my 11 mile tempo run, divided by 8 hours. I finished up with 5.5 in the evening with all the speedwork attached. I was happy to get that one done. Anything that requires zone 4 and zone 5 repeats I am relieved when it's over.
Today I got my tempo swim in, and was planning my easy ride outdoors tonight, but the wind is fiercely howling....so, another amendment to "The Plan". I will probably be indoors watching "The Biggest Loser", which is totally fine with me. Adjustments, flexibility, letting it roll...that is the name of the game this week.
I will keep you posted on how well I do with the rest of the week, while trying not to get blown away.
