We Need a QB
Ah the sadness - Penn State loses again. Definitely not the season we were looking for. O insists he's merely "disappointed" but I have reason to believe he's showing classic depressive symptoms. Oh well. Always next year and of course the Steelers are still 3-0!
In training news I had a pretty big day today (for me). I started things off with a 3500 yd swim where I actually showed a little promise while pulling. I then headed home for some breakfast before a 3 hour ride with a 30 minute transition run. The 3 hour ride was nice - started off quite chilly but by hour #2 I was pretty warm. It was a beautiful fall day with clear, sunny skies and no humidity. Truly doesn't get better than this.
I rode up through an area of Pittsburgh called Fox Chapel. Fox Chapel is the land of million dollar homes and gated estates and lots of lots of golf courses. Nice riding. If you're going to get hit, why not by a Lexus? :) But I had forgotten how hilly it was back there! Long hills too. Like..."have I really been riding up this hill for 10 minutes now?" type of hills. It was nice though and something different from my usual routine.
I had decided at some point this week that I would like to try running today even though I knew my leg wasn't going to feel 100%. And indeed it didn't. Hamstring was sore as expected but I wanted to do some running and 30 easy minutes is the most injury friendly run on my schedule so I went for it.
And that was my morning/afternoon! Started in the pool around 8 am and finished my run around 2 pm. This could definitely be a full time job. :)
Hope everyone is having a wonderful fall weekend!
