mine's not a high horse!

my first build week and i'm exhausted. it's not from the workouts, either. i'm just super tired. swimming is tapering a little. instead of doing 4500yds we're doing 3800-4000 yds. i did a running workout 6x1:30 at mid to upper zone 4 with equal rest last night. ran in badger prarie park because there was still practice on the verona track. my objective?...get my legs used to running fast so i can get into some longer repeats. tonight, i did a bike workout of 4min hard, 2min easy (6x)...so about 24 minutes of biking at around race pace. unfortunately, there were thunderstorms blasting us around then so it was done on the trainer. i never get my heartrate as high on the trainer....but it was a good leg workout anyway. next week i'll up it to 5 min hard 2 min easy. i'm trying to get a good chunk of time at race pace without doing too much leg damage.

anyway, about being tired. i feel absolutely drained lately. i know what is causing it...lack of sleep. i really need to work on that.

not much else to report. my side of the family came for easter, and i think it was a good time for all. i had fun, and the food was scrumptious.

i'm doug...
