Well all training goals were met this week (plus 1200 extra yards swimming "giggle"). All in all everything went well. Today was the hardest workout for the week. I ran 10 miles this morning with VancouverFit, our marathon training group, at an 8:40 pace and then rode the bike for 2 hours in the aero position. The run was good but a bit fast for my long run. The bike felt really good and just a few pains towards the end. Angela rode with me for part of my ride and it is always nice to ride with her! I think that biking is going to be her strength in doing Tri's because she can move on that bike!

This Week:
On Wednesday I will be celebrating 5 years of sobriety. I am looking forward to having dinner with my immediate family and will reflect on how far I have come and how far I want to go with everything in my life.
