Forty-five weeks and counting until the Ironman 70.3 Miami<\/a>\u00a0race.<\/p>\n

This week turned out to be not that great training-wise.\u00a0 On Monday I crashed my bike half way through my workout.\u00a0 My shoulder still hurts.\u00a0 It seems that a shard of glass was the cause as my tire was flat.\u00a0 I fixed the flat and decided to take Tuesday off from the bike.\u00a0 On Wednesday, I went ro ride and found that my tire was flat.\u00a0 Perhaps I forgot to pump it\u00a0up on Monday?\u00a0 I removed the tube, put some air into it, and checked it in a bucket of water.\u00a0 No bubbles anywhere.\u00a0 Not even near the patch.\u00a0 Okay, I replaced it and put 90psi into it and all seemed fine.\u00a0 By mile 2, it was flat.\u00a0 This time I just replaced the tube, put some air into it and rode home to pump it all the way up.\u00a0 By now it was so windy and there were so many automobiles with people picking up kids from school that I decided to end the ride.<\/p>\n

My running went okay this week, though I wanted to take some time off to ensure that I wasn’t going to screw up my knee again.\u00a0 I took Monday and\u00a0Thursday off and then Friday it was pouring rain, so that was nixed too.\u00a0 Today it’s about 48 degrees F (sudden change overnight), but I’m going for it anwyway.\u00a0 I am also trying to eat Clif Bar Minis<\/a>\u00a0for pre-run fueling.\u00a0 I had tried bagels with almond butter and they didn’t make me sick, but I didn’t seem to have any extra energy either.\u00a0 The Clif Bar Minis were being sold at Target<\/a>\u00a0for $10.99 for a box of 18.\u00a0 I bought two boxes and each one contains a different variety of three bars.\u00a0 Chocolate Brownie this a.m.<\/p>\n

Swimming:\u00a0 none.<\/p>\n

Total training mileage:\u00a0 Bike: 23, Run: 10+whatever I do today, Swim: \u00a00.\u00a0 Pathetic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
