The back pain continued for most of last week but I hit spin class on Wednesday night and did my 10 km run on Thursday night. I have to say that this has been a great winter for running. I am not much of a treamill runner and enjoy putting my mileage in outside.
Saturday morning found me back on my bike spinning for 4 hrs 15 mins. Some of my regulars stopped by - Coach Paul and my little swimmer friend - and some new people stopped by for a chat - Jack from the Running Room, Michelle Barrett and Fireman Rick. It certainly breaks up the monotony of the ride when people stop by. I also saw one of my son Ethan's friend's father who is doing his first ironman in November in Florida.
Then it was a dash home to have a quick bite to eat, grab my son Ethan and my Specialized bike. The bike had to be dropped off at Coach Paul's for its trip to Florida and Ethan had to be dropped off at the Whiby Rec Centre for a birthday party. I then headed to Durham Swimwear to grab a new swimsuit and a cap. My Monday night swimsuit is about 3 years old and was headed for a wardrobe malfunction.
Sunday saw me have a relaxing lunch with the other members of Team Texas - Shawn Reid, Michelle Peacock and Carolyn Senechal. We talked about our how our training was going and what arrangements still needed to be made with respect to our flights and our bike transport. We had alot of laughs and are so looking forward to Texas.
Tonight I am back on my bike for an hour and then swim class with Christine in charge. Christine is just as tough on us as Paul and shows no mercy. At least I will look like I know what I am doing in my new swimsuit. Ethan kindly says that I swim like a rock.
