Plan B kind of Day

Planned workouts for the day - 3 mile run and about 2050m swim.   BUT today was a plan B kind of day.  

I got a late start and missed my running group but I ran any way for 4.5 miles in Seneca / Cherokee parks.   I ran the hills and luckily thanks to Patrick Ryan, I was running by 7:15 and it was only 80 degrees.   Actually it was a very nice run.    When the temperatures hit 106, I was very grateful that I had gotten out early. 

I was trying to get both workouts out early in the day and turned right around to go to the pool.  Unfortunately, due to the heat, the swim team had taken over the indoor pool for the day and there was no lap swimming.    So the swim is out until at least Monday.   Plan B again was to go for a bike. 

Came home to change and load up the bike and went back to Seneca / Cherokee parks for a ride.   By this time, the temps had gone up to 92.     Although it was hot, it is just a lot easier on a bike than running.     I finished the bike after 22.6 miles.     By the time I finished it was 98 degrees.  

So, bottom line is I got in two workouts as planned but now I need to refigure workouts for the next week or so.  

Normally on Sundays, I make it to the gym and maybe a bike. But tomorrow, I have a wedding in the afternoon.  So I may end up with 2 off days this week.   

In the mean time, I am working on a plan to get out of this cycle of simply winging it AND I am also working on building a group of friends to train with.   I'm getting my workouts in but it is just a lot more fun to train with other people. 

So another day and the EP Tom Sawyer triathlon is 4 weeks from today.     

Have a good day!
