I have my annual November sinus infection this week. I have let the infection effect my workouts. I could just push on. Work Hard through it. It is six long months till my race in The Netherlands. I think I will just maintain my fitness for now. Start the hard training after my back 2 back marathons.  Use the New Years double for training. Kick it into high gear in 2017.

I skipped my heavy bag workout Monday. When I put my left glove on there was a yellow jacket wasp in the glove. Proof that the biggest in the fight is not automatically the winner. Speaking of biggest. I plan to race The Netherlands the lightest I can. Rather than wait and drop weight a couple of months before, I will start now. My goal is ten pounds lighter.  A great workout week. Working on speed. It is coming back.

I push mowed my half acre lawn Saturday. I had some discomfort in my left knee. So I took a few more days off from training. I have no reason to risk an injury. My next Centurion Qualifier is in seven months. I can use my back2back marathons in 8 weeks as training. I don’t have to race them.  Just a nice slow recovery. Keeping my eye on the BIG goal.
