But the end is drawing near!
My day started out at 9 am at Sally's lawyers office, where I put in motion the documents to finally close out her estate; 11 months after her death. Still one final hurdle to cross, but for all intents and purposes, the work is done. Hopefully just one more meeting with the beneficiaries, and I will be able to eliminate that stressor from my life. The end is drawing near. Woohoo!
After I got back I got organized and headed out for my long workout. That took quite a bit longer than the legal consultation. By the time I finished it was after 5 pm!!
And I think it went okay. I definitely didn't feel very strong right from the start but the good thing is that my endurance seemed fine. Because I felt tired, I was cautious throughout. and managed to finish my 160 kms without flagging too much. I was faster than last week, but produced less power. That would imply that today's route was a bit easier.
I didn't hold out much hope for my follow up walk/run however, but even that wasn't too bad. I had to guess at my distance because my watch quit at about 3 kms, which also meant I didn't know just how slow I was going. Maybe that's a good thing? I did stick with my walk/run throughout however. I could time that fairly well just by counting my steps.
And now it's 8 pm and I am bagged. Next week will be a little easier, and then one or two more long ones. I still have not decided which. I will try to err on the side of caution. Either way, the end is drawing near.
Six weeks from Sunday!!
ride 160 kms, 28.3 kms/hr walk/run 8 kms
....and here's a couple of good ones about the "big end'
"It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are."---Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'."---Erma Bombeck

You are bang on with the quotes for me again today!! I know they are for you and your day, but....And I truly admire your approach to training these days. Just keep on keeping on. You've said this to me more than once and it's the best advice for life I've ever had! (If it wasn't you who first said it to me, claim it anyway!)
ReplyDeleteLove, gail
Maybe Roo said it first. but it was someone in the family!
