   Working on crafting my 2013 training calendar, based around the Daybreak Triathlon in early June, and a fall marathon (St George maybe?... hey, that makes me think of a song parody just waiting to happen...) Who knows what else... maybe a bike race in there somewhere...?

   Felt much better today. I was able to push a big ring almost the entire climb, far more than I ever have before. The knot in my back that's been there since Sunday is just about gone, and I'm sure that helped. I may just feel this one in my quads tomorrow.

   I wasn't feeling the climbs today. Just felt flat with little energy the whole ride. Ended up with a decent pace for this route, but struggled to get there.

   Took advantage of nothing to do in Vegas on a Friday night and went running on the strip. Pretty fun dodging drunks and tourists. The later it got the busier and more crowded it got, but that just added to the adventure, even if it did slow the pace. Good times.

   Annoying south wind made the first half harder than it made the second half easy. Not a bad ride altogether, tho. Enjoyed it.

   Felt pretty good on this run, especially since I wasn't otherwise feeling too great and the air was really smokey. I needed something, though. Couldn't stand another 0 in the books. Followed it up with 20 minutes of low-rep, high-weight upper body workout, then I had to grab some lunch.

      Nice going, Zach. Bonus points for going on the ride instead of taking a nap... although the nap would have been nice, too.

    Nice upper-body weights and core workout at lunch today. I almost bagged it but decided to just do it at the last minute. Turns out I missed a meeting at work because I put it off so long, but it's all good and I'm glad I got it in. Maybe I'll even be sore tomorrow.

    Better than last week's brick. Still wanted to quit after about a mile. Fortunately it was a nice short run. Once again, the daughter pulled away at the end... a testament to her speed and the fact that she didn't ride 50 miles beforehand.

    Nice short run during the lunch hour. I think it was really humid because I seemed to sweat much more than usual. Not quite sure what's up with that. Not a bad run, but I need to work on getting my pace down to where it's been. I do think it's time to replace my shoes, though. I can feel them wearing out.

    First swim in at least a few days. Felt pretty good but it took a couple hundred yards to find a groove. Finally settled in and got it done. And I thought it was going to be a rest day. :-)

    A much better run than last Thursday's. When I walked out of the office to begin the run, as I waited for the Garmin to figure out where I was, I noticed a bat flying around our quad in front of our building. Fortunately the Garmin picked up the satellites quickly and I could take off. I was trying to figure out if it was a good omen or a bad omen... turns out the run was just average (which is better than it's been lately), so maybe it was niether?

    Okay, so I haven't done a brick workout in a really really long time. That was tough. Yeah, it's just 2 miles, but it was a hard 2 miles. The biggest mistake was taking my speedy 9-year-old daughter along with me. For the last quarter mile she'd had enough of hanging with the old man and took off. I'm sure she beat me back to the house by a good 20 or 30 seconds.
