6/9 Workouts

I planned to ride 120 miles and run 10-20 miles today, but that was not in the cards. I rode the trainer for 45 miles and ended up blowing a tire. I decided to head out on the run instead of change the tire and continue the ride. I felt great during the early miles of the run, but ended up sweating too much and was not able to hydrate adequately. I ended up with 8.5 miles of running. The current plan is to do an easy spin tomorrow and get up early on Sunday to beat the heat and get in a long run. Going long in Florida during the summer months is not easy...

FINALLY - FUNDRAISER SITE IS ONLINE

We finally worked out all the logistics for the MS fundraiser site (http://recipients.microgiving.com/profile/chuck). If you decide to check it out I suggest clicking on the "About Me" tab. The MicroGiving.com fundraiser template is limiting so it is not quite what I was picturing, but they were the only fundraiser site that did not have overhead/administration fees. That means 100% of the donations go directly to fund the CCSVI MS research (http://csvi-ms.net/en/content/ccsvi-huge-breakthrough-ms). I ask that you help spread the word about my fundraising efforts. Thanks.

6/8 PM Workout

6.75 mile run. My knee is finally feeling better (knock on wood). I was able to run the whole 6.75 miles without needing to stop and stretch...

6/8 - AM and Lunch workouts

I rode 52 miles to work today and swam 3200 meters at lunch. Tentatively planning to run when I get home from work. It really depends on how I am feeling and how hot it is... I really do not want to run on the treadmill again.

6/7 - PM Run

I ran 5.25 miles this evening (treadmill run). It was nice not to have to deal with the heat. :)

6/7 - Lunch Swim

3000 meter straight swim. Nothing special, just trying to figure out how to entertain myself during a long continuous swim.

6/7 - AM Ride

I had a hard time falling asleep last night so I planned on skipping the ride this morning, but ended up waking up at 4:00 AM without the alarm so I decided I would ride into work. The ride ended up being 51 miles and actually felt pretty good. I am sure the lack of sleep will catch up with me...
