Just kidding - kind of. Remember when you're a kid and you can't wait to get older? It even extends into your twenties as people seem to take you less seriously only because you're young. That feeling ends in your mid-thirties - of which I am coming to the end (I turned 37 today).
Don't get me wrong - I have nothing to complain about. I'm healthy - I don't have any physical limitations. Age might be just a number - but that number can feel a little scary. It's hard not to think that forty is just around the corner - then fifty - yikes! The other disturbing part of getting older is that the time seems to go past even faster. It's like when you're driving to work in the morning and you can't remember driving there. I kind of think that way about my mid-thirties. It feels like I was 32 just yesterday - and yet that was five years ago.
Ok - enough feeling sorry for myself. I'm going to do something I haven't done on here in awhile. Write about my training. Here is what I did over the last week.
Monday - Morning: 3000y swim (1 hour)
Afternoon: 36 mile bike (2 hours)
Tuesday - Day off
Wednesday - Morning: 3000y swim (1 hour)
Afternoon: 6 mile run (45 min)
Thursday - 47 mile bike (2.5 hours)
Friday - Morning 3000y swim (1 hour)
Afternoon: 4 mile run (30 min)
Saturday - 10 miles 3X2 miles w/ 2 min rest (11:08; 11:09; 11:20) (a little over 1 hour)
Sunday - 17 miles (2 hours)
Total - Swim: 3 hours Bike: 4.5 hours Run: 4.25 hours (11.75 hours)
It's a pretty good week for mid-March. If I was only training for a triathlon than I would put more time into the bike and less into running (probably 6 hours on the bike and only 3 on the run). But I am focusing on running a good half-marathon at Lincoln in early May.
I was very happy with my 3X2 mile workout yesterday. I think I've got a decent shot at a sub 1:15 for the Lincoln half. I felt pretty strong on my long run today as well.
Ok - time for this old man to rest.

The original ref. 6204 was produced for a year or less, and even that rolex replica sale same year a few other versions of the Rolex Submariner were being produced or planned. In fact, for most of its early life, the Rolex Submariner went through an intense series of not only evolutionary steps, but also design experimentation. This has led to an extremely rich rolex replica sale area for collectors because so many versions existed early on in the model's history. Today in 2013 the Rolex Submariner is sized at 40mm wide, which is no larger than medium by most watch standards. The original 1953 Rolex Submariner was rolex replica uk just 37mm wide. It was also water resistant to just 100 meters. Rolex quickly increased that to near 200 meters and today the Rolex Submariner is known by everyone to be replica watches uk water resistant to 300 meters. As a dive watch, the original Rolex Submariner has a rotating dive-style timing bezel as well as the iconic case shape that has replica watches sale more or less been represented by all the Rolex Submariner models that came after it.
