There there

All of sudden my training routine got simplified. Swimming, strained hamstring ass routine and some moments in our bike torture chamber. No running. Hamstring/gluteus is not yet ok, but I'm hopeful for getting back at it during next week. 

Monday, Wednesday, Saturday

It wasn't many days ago when I argued that my skills in avoiding swim practices is hurting my progress in this 3-sport. But what I know. This week I will jump into the pool at least three times. Nice!

On Monday (my second attendance to that particular session) I faced and conquered my pain, the lactic acid in my arms. It felt so good. Today I'm ready for the next battle. Bring it on.

In the running front I'm fighting with another kind of battle. My glutes and hamstrings are so tight that running is now getting slower and harder. To cut short this downward spiral I finally started to do some stretching. Results of this activity are not yet - unfortunately - shown. And it's been already two days.

[update 20/02:] On Thursday morning I strained my upper hamstring/gluteus. Not running for couple next days.

Biking... what's that?

A period of odd illnesses

The topic is so boring so I won't spend another second to discuss it. I'm happy that I'm almost 100% back on the road.


My streak of missing highly necessary swimming sessions is continuing. I've been feeling the pool water only once a week for varying set of sorry ass excuses. Fortunately, the remaining swimming sessions have been painful. Based on my 25 years of running that feeling has usually been a sign of progress. Instead of pace and/or speed I desperately need the gut feeling that I'm all good in water. This feeling is almost here.


During the last weeks all of my biking sessions have been short but amusing BTC sessions in the early morning. That's better than nothing.
