And lest I forget...

I am still training hard... and furiously, actually. I put in a very difficult core and strength workout this morning that has left all my upper body limp with muscle exhaustion. I am going to wear a heart rate monitor next time on this stuff, but the ball workouts and Bowflex exercises were merciless (thanks to Paul Hatano, trainer to the future NHL stars). Doing this 4 times/week is beginning to really make me miss the 5:30am masters swimming I gave up last year!

My 2 hour ride on Saturday on the trainer had my heart rate at 155 average, with a few bursts as high as 185. And my long slow run on Sunday was 23.3km in 2:20, with an average HR of 143. Nice and steady...

And here I was worried I'd be out of shape soon...
