When 18km is considered cheating ...

What a day!

Appointment in the morning, Cycles Technique to pick up gels, super quick lunch with friends, then off to a job interview, and back home to make some important calls. Add on top of it some prep I had to do for a radio interview originally scheduled for tonight but postponed until Saturday.

Now here I am on my computer and instead of stretching, I am typing. Ran 18 km with KJ tonight. Felt like a slug beside her. It took about 2 hours ... s-l-o-w. Bad thing is I was supposed to cycle for 1.5 hours beforehand and make it a *brick* workout and the run was supposed to be a half hour longer. No go, no time left after all that I had to do this afternoon. Sigh. Happy I got the run in though, even if I feel like I've cheated once again on my training program. Ugh. No discipline.

I think I need new running shoes.

BBQ pork chops and grilled vegetables tonight. Yum yum. Then back to the computer to write an article about my Ironwoman Journey for Asianwave, a Toronto magazine.

How can you keep up with that training? I think it's impossible if you have a life. Training for "just" a marathon needs a lot of time, so imagine more training for the swim and cycle part of an Ironman.

Anyway, that's said, I have no doubt that you'll make it. Even if you arrive last (who cares about that). Keep on and don't worry too much about your cheatings.
