Feelin' Stronger Every Day

I was a little worried when I read the training schedule for this week. In particular, the bike and the run training: Three 90 minute sessions on the bike, and a 10-mile and 8-mile run.

In case you didn't know this: I DON'T LIKE RUNNING!

Surprisingly, though, it is going fine. I completed the 10-mile run, and felt pretty good about it. And, with the adjustments to my bike, it is a lot easier to spend that kind of time in the saddle. (This is where I say thanks to the good people at Fraser Bike...wow.)

Don't get me wrong...I still have a long way to go before I'm ready. A really long way.

But I was really happy with how I feel at this point. Maybe I'm finally beginning to get in to the groove. Maybe Peter Cetera is channeling through me, " I do believe in you, And I know you believe in me."

Yikes. That's kinda creepy.

Actually, I think my body finally gave in and said (in a strange Brooklyn-ish kind of way), "You're serious about this?!? Okay, then." Followed by an almost imperceptible, "The best thing to happen to you, the worst thing that happened to me."

Dang it Peter! Get out of my head!

Then again, I still have an 8-mile run to do...Let's hope that goes alright, too..."You know I'm alright now."

I mean it! No more Chicago tunes!
