Friday September 11th – Date night with my Wife!

Took my wife to Dallas for her Birthday Friday Night thru Saturday.  Missed my Saturday workout. Sometimes life bumps training.. I did not panic. I did not mope around. I adjusted. I did back to back 24 milers.  My last back to backs were 20 milers. I just did not have that tired feeling on the second walk I wanted last time. Double 24 milers gave me what I was looking for. The last eight miles of walk number two felt like the end of a Centurion. I also took a little break from strength training. I just concentrated on the mileage. Turned out to be the perfect Back2Back workout for me. Always look for what works for you. Training plans are not etched in stone. Find what works. Then stick to it.
