"Going Good"

Or is that going well? Who knows? Who Cares?

My training that is. I feel like I'm getting in a groove. Most days I am doing at least 2 workouts of some kind and overall I don't fell too stressed about it. For the last 2 days in a row I swam 1500 metres continuously which is an early breakthrough. Only with my wetsuit, or with pull buoys but I really don't care. Also I can do my previous Ironman pace over the 1500 metres now, so I know that by the end of the year I will be back to where I was in 2009, and I will still have lots of time to improve from there. I'm also pleased to report that the weight room is gradually getting less tedious and in actual fact I think I am already stronger than I was last time. I am convinced that riding the trainer all winter will make me a better rider. In 2009 I still had to use the machine downtown and so I wasn't quite as consistent as I can be now. Plus having my own machine allows me to get is set up properly to get the most out of it. I already mentioned that running continues well so onwards and upwards!

I have mixed feelings about the world tour I leave for on the 20th, 10 days in India and China. Mixed feelings because I feel on a roll, and yet the break may be a good thing as well. It gives the body a chance to absorb all the hard work and get ready for another spurt. We'll see how it goes.

And that's about it for today. Instead of spending time planning my post I was surfing the net for George Carlin material, motiveted by the funny monologue Mike posted yesterday. Check it out.
