Managed to do both a bike ride and a swim today. The evening weather was perfect for swimming. Jörgen & David joined me for what probably was the last swim preparation before Tjörn and we made a nice 50 minutes lap in Kåsjön, approx 1900 meters, that equals the ½ IM swim. Hakuna matata!

Last nights 13 km run wasn't easy. My heel is still giving me pain. I bought some special heel spur protection in gel, that I now have mounted in my runner shoes. Hopefully it will ease my problems over time. I'm also back on antiinflammatoric pills. No mercy, I have to be able to do enough of training before Tjörn. I might go for a longer run tomorrow. "No pain, no gain". Just do it!

It was a long time ago that I felt so motivated to push my body through training sessions and I have to admit that I like it. The enthusiasm within the MC-gang is one strong factor, but also the fact that I haven't been able to do much physical exercises in Asia during the last 2 years, so it feels a bit like getting back into something that I really enjoy. You don't know what you really like, until you miss it.

So if I can keep this training pace up, I will hopefully be an Ironman again next year, (or Superman), or probably more like Super Goof.
