So, not unexpectedly, I felt a little wasted this morning. My first hard week since before Kona has a way of doing that. I talked to Anders last night and he reminded me that I don't need to be killing it in mid January if my primary goal is an IM in late November.
I realize that and also realize I have a tendency to push the edge in my training. that said, I'm following my plan and the plan calls for a couple of hard weeks to jumpstart the engine. I knew I would be tired today so planned an easy day anyways with an optional FTP workout on the bike which i skipped.
I'm running a 5k tomorrow--it's suppossed to be 9 degrees (count em--and these are in Fahrenheit!), it's a slow course and I'm training right through the race so my expectations are low. That said it would be nice to do 22 minutes or so.
I do have a low grade infection of some type--ear is swollen/clogged as my body is complaining about incresed workload and caloric restriction. I'll reevaluate my plan for another tough week if need be based on how my race goes....
