Random Thoughts

Napping. I need to learn this skill. I have decided that IM training requires trainees to learn how to take naps on a regular basis. I try, but unless the house is really quiet I rarely seem to fall into the deep oblivion I am craving.

I never can seem to acclimate to the summer heat. Yesterdays brick about did me in. You would think that after 10 years in VA and by this time in the summer I would be used to it, but no, not me. I must've sweat out 10 pints yesterday and spent the whole afternoon drinking water until I sloshed.

I have been enjoying my training of late. Improvements are coming in small increments, but they are coming. Also I feel much better now I have been running for a few weeks, it makes me less worried about IMFL and that is just good for the psyche.

I have loved watching the Tour de France this year. It is amazing to see the skill of the riders. And with no clear favorite rider this year it is totally up for grabs.
