On this day in 1964, the Beatles' first album in the United States, "Introducing the Beatles," was released.<br><br>
I bet LRR remembers that.<br><br>
One of the coolest things for me of being a morning runner is that in the winter it is very often where the temperature outside is actually colder, as it's still getting cold and radiational cooling is still taking place, as I return from my run -- or even later when I go to work -- than it is when I lace 'em up and head out the door for my run. Don't know why but I love that.<br><br>
Me...<br><br>
7 (?) mile hill session on the run early this rather mild-for-January morning; 38 degrees F when I left the house to run; 34 when I went to work:<br>
o WU - ~2 miles (run to hill)<br>
o 6 x 2' @ 5K pace up hill w/2' rest back down<br>
o 3 x 2' @ 5K pace on flats w/2' jog back home<br>
Followed immediately by...<br><br>
40 min Trainer session:<br>
o WU - 20 min (watched first segment of IMLP Bike Course preview with Coach Troy)<br>
o 10 x 1' Big Gear, High Wattage w/1' rest.<br>
Was cool. Although I didn't do any of the workout dictated by Coach Troy, just seeing him in front of me gave me that little extra to hold on to the Wattage until the minute was up. It's all mental. Mental focus. Figure out what gets you, and you'll be one step up on retaining focus when it gets tough in races. Very key. Very, very key for good racing.<br><br>
Great day, Tri-Beatle-fans!
