Nipple burn is realForgot to put my pasties (round bandaids) on… bloodied shirt second day this weekView attachment 164987
I’ve learned in the last few months there’s a fine line between doing things you never thought you could do, and knowing when to back off. Kudos to you for knowing when to hold em and when to fold them….I think I’m taking the rest of the year off.
My resting HR is 20-25% higher over the last few weeks. And my last few runs have been ugly. Heart rate through the roof at moderate paces.
I think it’s time to rest up and heal up. Get back at it in January.
Yea, I’ve really been burning the candle at both ends for about the last 10 months and it’s caught up to me.I’ve learned in the last few months there’s a fine line between doing things you never thought you could do, and knowing when to back off.

How do you like the Novablast 5? Thinking of snagging a pair.Forgot to put my pasties (round bandaids) on… bloodied shirt second day this weekView attachment 164987
Love them. They’re not super super cushiony, but they’re, in my limited experience/opinion, a fantastic compromise of cushion and return of energy. Today was the longest run in them. I’ve got 45 miles in them so far and no regrets.How do you like the Novablast 5? Thinking of snagging a pair.
Always have to find the right pacer in a raceGot in 2500 meters of swimming this morning and then 6 miles on the treadmill.
Thankfully the lady on the treadmill in front of me was quite attractive from behind. Otherwise that 6 miles would have been torture.
I’ve really enjoyed the Training Peaks program. You can pull up all kinds of data and it shows the build phases working towards an event. This past August is when I pulled out of Florida and the downward spiral from there until now is easily seen. It tracks your Intensity factor, Fatigue, Fitness and form, heart rate data, mileage, hours and a boatload of other data points I’m still learning about. It’s like $110.00/year and it has helped tremendously which is good to help gramps from overtrainingHaven’t worked out much lately because I’ve been resting and recovering. But went to the Y yesterday and did 2 miles of lap swimming.
That put me at 120 miles of swimming for year. Hard to believe that 2 years ago I could barely swim 50 feet.
I looked at my garmin app and for the year I did 1086 miles of running, 2021.8 miles of biking and 120 miles of swimming. Didn’t quite reach my overall goal of 3500 total miles.
Starting to formulate my plans for 2025. I’m thinking one marathon in the spring and then a 70.3 in the fall.
