Blogging Is Hard

Wow, blogging more difficult than I thought it would be. It is tedious to try and remember to sit down and write a few words often.

I am dealing with a little bit of “runner’s knee”. Who would have ever thought that would be a term associated with me. Essentially that means that I am having a some knee pain below the knee cap. I have a friend of mine that has given me some great advice to help it as well as I need to make sure that I ice it after every training session.

Last night I got some biking and running in. I rode my bike to the gym, ran for 45 minutes and then went for a short ride after that. Atticus has been getting involved with my training and going biking with me. Since I focus on where my heart rate is I look really funny riding next to him as he rides real casual. I keep a really fast cadence (rpm), hence I pedal really fast, but do not go very far. What is really funny are the days when it is cool enough and I go running outside, Atticus bikes while I run and to keep himself entertained he smokes a cigar while biking next to me.

This last week has been brutally hot; we are finally back into our normal heat. Last Saturday the team running practice was at Griffith Park we start pretty early in the morning while is is cool and we are typically done by 9:30 so that it is still cool. When we got done this last Saturday and I was leaving it was 98 degrees. I was really finally like I was dragging during the training, now I know why.

Tonight is swim practice.
