Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.

I am just about ready to put this week to bed. I can tell that I am feeling the effects of An Appropriate Training Stimulus – I am crabby, tired, hungry all the time, and have missed only one workout. Yesterday it was supposed to rain. In Colordo when it rains it gets quite cold, so I wore long underwear, a hat, and a windbreaker. Then, because in actual fact it was eighty-nine degrees and humid, I had a thirteen mile run in my own private Hell greenhouse. So far this week I have fallen asleep:

• In the backseat of my car in the grocery store parking lot.
• Leaning against the fireplace in a rental cottage on Cape Cod
• Lying in the dirt next to a campfire, head on an old charred log.

The final indication, to me, that things must be going as planned is the following actual excerpt from an email I sent to Paulo:

“That swim workout was hard – I threw up in my mouth a little – but I got through it”
