Catch up

Excuse the lack of news.  On Sunday I had a rest due to appauling weather and tired legs.  On Monday morning I went out for a fast 3.62 mile run in preparation for the 5km TT race on Thursday night.  A TT race is where you are timed against the clock and go full out leaving nothing in the tank.
So tonight I will be warming the legs up with a run, but not tiring them out.  It's great having these key milestones which I know I have to prepare for.
After Thursday the attention focuses once again on the bike and this will remain until the event is over on 3rd September.  Then, in theory, I take a month off swim, bike, run which allows my body to recover before the Ironman training begins.  I said in theory because in the middle I have a 3 day running training camp.  So with the exception if that I'll be resting for a month.
