BEST WEEK EVER....

Reasons that I had the best week ever:

1. My dad stayed at my house for the whole wonderful week.
2. I was on vacation from work all week.
3. The stress level in my life was zero.
4. Our yearly 4th of July block party to watch the fireworks was a blast. (for the first time the police did not show up) Last year it was the infamous Drew Peterson.
5. My longest ride of the year (62miles) was logged.
6. My longest run of the year ( 10Miles) was logged.
7. I got a new car- an awesome white Jeep Patriot called the WaddlerMobile.
8. The weather was perfect all week. Sunny and 70's.
9. Did I say that I had a great week with my dad?

Waddling with a big,big smile...............

I've been enjoying the week having my dad at my house so with that and the increased training I haven't had time to write. I did a great 10 mile run yesterday and a 62 mile bike today. Feeling great!

As I continue in my training toward Steelhead, I have one question that hangs with me. I began this journey as a runner. When you train for a race at some point you either run that distance or come close. I understand how to do that.I looked at several different plans for HIM triathlon training and one thing I noticed is that is not true. With only 4 weeks left until my HIM, am I where I should be to be ready? I know that I can can do the swim. I know that I can do the bike. I know that I can do the run. My question is -Can I put it all together?
