My legs have been tired this week. Tired and achy. In the past it has taken about six weeks after a Centurion race before I feel back up to par. It has been four weeks. I was not as well trained for my last race. It could even take me a little longer to get back to normal. We still train even when we don’t feel like it. There will be times during a Centurion race when you feel tired. You have to push through if you want to succeed. Same with training. There will be times when you don’t feel like training. Times when you won’t be at peak performance. Push through those hard times.  Mental training.

No change to my diet or strength workouts.  Pull-ups are getting easier. I would like to work up to 4 sets of 5 pull-ups. Enough to impress anyone who has ever failed to do one single pull-up. That was me five years ago.

Add one more hour to my long walk at the track this next week.
