It's all about pacing. I've had two hard weeks at the office, I think I'm ready for an easy week. That's my strategy. Going out slow today, working regular consistent hours -- flexible, but consistent. Not getting too caught up in any issue, it will all get done in it's time. I like it, positive, productive without all the hype.
Then there's the important part of the week -- workouts!
I'm shooting for 45 miles this week. Hard workouts on Wednesday and Saturday. One of those days will be at the XC course -- 5 miles worth of repeat switch backs, and another will be my favorite -- tempo (ugh), that's always the mental challenge for the miler in me (actually the 800 meter runner).
Monday's a "no run" day. Pool at lunch. Actually hope to get in the pool twice this week, and yoga on Thursday.
My ankle has been talking too me -- I'm not sure what triggers it, but I still have not fully recovered from that sprain I had back in May. Age, the one noticeable side-effect that I would like to minimize -- slow recovery to injury. So the key... injury free. More cross training.
So overall, it's looking like a great week. And now that fall's here, we're enjoying some beautiful sunshine on the coast!
Got to get to work, or so much for that consistency thing I mentioned up above. Have a good day. aero out
