The past week was a recovery week which is both a good thing and a bad thing.  It’s great in that my body gets a chance to recover.  After finishing the training block leading up to this recovery week I could tell my body was needing a chance to recover.  The week still consisted of three swims, two runs, and two bikes, but all were at much lower duration and intensity.  Saturday was a team ride with the entire crew that’s headed to Florida.

Ironically my six mile run to end the week pretty much did me in.  I think it was a combination of weather (hot + humid) combined with not fueling well for about 48 hours.  I have to get out of the habit of slacking on nutrition during recovery week.  In hindsight it’s probably when my body needs it the most.

This week it’s back to two-a-days.  Lots of long, hard workouts.  In some twisted way I’m actually looking forward to it.  I’ve gotten to where I like to challenge myself and I know whatever work I do now is money in the bank for Florida (now less than 11 weeks away).

Speaking of money, I launched a new incentive to give to CTF this week.  I combined my fundraising efforts and love of football to bring you the Texas Aggie Pick’Em Benefiting the Children’s Tumor Foundation.   For every $25 you donate you can choose a square in the pick’em.  Squares will be used throughout the 2015 Aggie football season to determine a grand prize winner.  You can find out all of the details and donate here.

Thanks for your continued support!
