Refocusing.

It's still early in the training season for me.  But I am refocusing my efforts from strength-training to cardio (and really whatever else my coach will be telling me).   This week has been about transitioning to my old morning routine - get in a run before starting the day.  Doesn't feel so bad to get up in the mornings!

Logged 8 miles this week (two 4-mile runs).  Comparing my last three runs, I am faster in the mornings.  My last two are almost even in times, but average heart rate (157 v 151) was slower this morning as compared to a few days ago.  Average moving pace just a few seconds under 8 min/mile. Feeling good!  Also got in a swim (1250 yds) during the week.

This season is looking good. A coach.  Alcatraz swim. Santa Barbara Triathlon. Bike the Coast century ride. And then IMAZ.  Sounds doable, right?
