murph here. fresh back from our big weekend practice, which was a 25 mi bike followed by a 5 mile run. we're inching up on the race distances, in combination with each other! tomorrow: a timed .75 mile swim. get ready to eat our wake, brooklyn!!
(actually, i will be choking on ANDREA's wake, while the rest of brooklyn eats mine.)
ditto andrea's thoughts on writing about pain: it's painful to think about pain on top of having pain, never mind writing or reading about pain, so we've kept our distance from the blog to spare ourselves and you. i've been generally in funk, too - it's that time of year for me, the end of every school year is kind of a depressing time for some reason - and it's really extra no fun to read about someone's boring old funk. trust me.
and so:we have been reaching deep into energy reserves just to perservere in the face of really busy, kind of hurting, trying to have a little fun, and making sure we don't fall behind on training / communicating with family, friends, or each other. and doing, in the end, a decent job of it and i think we're coming out of it - the practice today was really good for both of us. but dang. i'm tired.
