The Weakend...

Well I had Friday off at work and I enjoyed my morning and just sat around watching the news and just chillin'. Then decided that I need to go for a run with some hills. My first tri, Clemson Sprint, has a pretty intense hill mid way thru and then one at the end so I was going to go for a hill repeat Friday. Worked out well. Warmup jog to my hills then I picked up the pace (7 min/mile) and tried to maintain that until the top. Ended up with a 6.1 mile jog in 48 mins. Finished strong and felt pretty good. Saturday was an off day so this fat boy took it easy.

For those that don't know I am a 6'3" 218 guy that loves to run. I am now starting to concentrate on my weight because by Nov. 4th I need to be about 195 or so. If I get there I will be pumped. This will help my joints and allow me to finish this monster I signed up for.

Well Sunday was an interesting day went to church and then got home after lunch and started out on my bike ride. Some of the neighborhood kids think my back is "way cool", which is a nice little ego boost, as well as telling me how fast I am. HA HA Well out on the ride I got about 8 honks and fingers. Some honks included the finger, I guess they were showing me their age or something, I just waved and continued on. But this one instance some jerk came flying by me honked and slowed down to my pace and looked at me then shot me the rod. It really pissed me off. I really wanted to kick his door in. Well it just so happened that 100 yards away the light in front of us turned red. I pulled up beside of him and just stared. He wouldn't even look at me. It was great I felt like what a punk and now he won't even look at me. I just waved at him as he sped off. Then in the back of my mind I remembered he was in a much bigger vehicle than I was and calmed down for the rest of the ride. It may have been the voice of my wife telling me to stop or you will get killed doing stuff like that. Anyway, bike ride was 26.7 miles in 1:32. Great ride!
That is the one thing in marriage that pisses some guys off because they hear their wife being their little voice that stops them from doing things. I finally have gotten over that but it used to irritate the heck out of me where I would do the opposite. Yes that is stupid and I know that because my wife is usually right when it comes to me flaring up with emotions. Love ya babe!

Well I have a 32 min swim tonight which should be somewhere around 1500 yards. I am going to try to do a couple of repeat speed workouts tonight. Have a good day folks!
