I think I am 100% addicted to #zwift and #cycling. Found my #religion. The #TaperTime today, one of the final #fondo workouts,.was pure joy. Thinking of hanging a #disco ball in my workout room and getting a proper sound system for the cheap but extremely fun music I listen to while working out.

Well, hello taper!
I spent a lot of time on the #StruggleBus this weekend. So much negotiating ("another 500m of elevation and you can message the crew" or "see how you feel in three kilometres"). Saturday was my altitude day, 75 laps of the sledding hill. So glad I am done with the sledding hill for the season!! Sunday more distance, laps of the research farm. These grapes were ripening on the fence encircling the farm. 70% of race day kilometres and climbing over the weekend. The legs are good to go! While I am grateful for the mental and emotional preparation that laps provide, I'm looking forward to racing across actual mountains and not doing laps like a hamster on a wheel!

Monday mood. Sleepy and snuggly!

My writing buddy is supervising edits while I race towards the submission deadline for my thesis. Slowly, slowly, slowly crawling towards the finish line! #PhDLife #AmWriting #AmEditing

I will celebrate submitting the beast with an #UltraTrail race! I'm officially tapering now! Happy to have my feet up and kept warm! No taper tantrums here! (Ha ha ha, I had my last big double long run weekend yesterday, ask me in a week if I feel the same way!)

Hope your #MonDog is easing you into your week gently!
