My Trek to an Iron Man

I got home late last night and didn’t train so I Biked and Ran this morning.  It was great.  Hardly any traffic and the roads were alot safer. I usually train at night; although the danger element is fun, the training is more focused and I can go faster.  I did 8 mile bike ride with as many hills I can find.  Then a 1.5 mile run with hills.  Training in the morning frees up time at night for the wife and kids.  It will be an adjustment but it looks like 5:00 is the good time to train.  With the nights less bunched up I either to “two a days” or relax a little.  I think I’ll use the extra time at night for leg strength training / stretching.  No sure if I was faster in the morning but the training felt better because I could get it done without having to worry about the kids, or work. (Yet)

The only bad part is, I pass by a waste transfer facility that stinks to high hell to get to the hills.  It will just make me stronger.

Here was an interesting article on running on different times of the day.
