It is good to see one’s friends of many years, and their friends of many days, doing well. Meet Lilly. Not the guy in the glasses, Lilly. My friend is in love again - never too late to fall in love.
Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman
Workouts:
Swim: Long and strong. 4 x 1000 yards, 10 sec ri, 2 and 4 with pull buoy.
Run: 2.25-mile trail run, pacing by Darian (26 and fit), pulling this old guy along, and I’m actually running finally, and somewhat holding my own on the hills, the real test of running (in Hoka One One’s of course). Enjoy the company of young people, they’ll keep you young at heart - thanks Darian.

Hi, I am appreciative of the swim workout example. I’ll try it.
I’m getting used to this training- yesterday was a 3000y swim, today a 6 mile run (with 6 half mile pickups) and a 34 k ride.
Its amazing how quickly one can adapt to a high level of training, if you are coming off a base of lifetime fitness.

Hi Pauline, you have to remember that I am just feeling my way forward to Lake Placid. No plan! Just slowly ramping up, hard, harder, easy. We’ll see how it goes. Want to do an Ironman together? Maybe Mont Tremblant 2015? Bet you could leave me in the dust! -k
I think you are making amazing progress from the stent surgery in December! You have a huge base of fitness to draw on, and I believe you can succeed in your Lake Placid attempt.
Re the Ironman, it is an intimidating goal, as goals should be. I was going to do one in the early 1980s with a swimming buddy, Sue. Sue was a smoker, and tragically died in a house fire while I was in hospital giving birth to my son Kevin. Perhaps I should try it in her memory. Mont Tremblant 2015? Why not?
Why not! Son Kevin? Fate is funny thing. Now you have another Kevin child. Yes! Mont Tremblant - I’m looking forward to it. If you can run, you have it in the bag.
Why not do it in memory of Sue, and we’ll toast her memory at dinner after the race in our tent. -k
