Again temperatures in the mid-to-upper 30s, a light wind, and dry roads, put me back outside for another weekend’s “long” ride, and with Ryan this time. The experience was exponentially better than being on the indoor trainer, and a great way to put February in the books.
Sunday was a hard act to follow, but today tried by showing a fairly sunny day where we embraced temperatures around 40 degrees to kick off March. I overdressed on my run, but it went well. I felt reasonably strong for the most part…I’m not counting my tight calves, which weren’t too bad today, and then my swim went ok too…though my left shoulder hurt a little, but I won’t count that either.
I’m getting stronger…I think. I’m getting fitter…I hope. I’m getting to where I need to be to set myself up for a solid and healthy season…I pray.
I’m also busy and overwhelmed, but it's a beautiful day every single day in my shoes...even when I think it's not...it is.
I gave blood on Saturday evening to honor Lexi Derosha. She is a 12-year-old former student of mine who is in a hospital bed waiting to have a bone marrow transplant which will hopefully save her life. This process may or may not work, but she is staying as positive as she can be. I think I can suck it up and deal with my tight calves and sore shoulder.
Peace,

Sounds like training is going well for you! That is awesome. My thoughts are with Lexi and her family.
