Half the Distance

My training partner, Midge, and I did an optional 13.1 mile run today. Isn't it funny to know that there are people who "opt" for a half Ironman as noted on the schedule. It's even funnier that I opted to do a half marathon on a Sunday when I could have surely taken advantage of sleeping in late. This was to have been a RECOVERY week. Nevertheless, we did a 13.4 mile run actually. I think we did pretty well! Focus today was running in my HR zone. This was successful even after seeing the alligator nearby in the canal. However, there was a sweet lady walking behind me...I would venture to say that HR, had she been wearing a monitor, most likely altered just a weeeeeeeee bit! :)

"Competitive stage" of training begins this week. Endurance swims, lots of brick workouts and a lot of split workouts ahead. I'm sure I will have more to blog in the 84 days ahead but for now, I am going to sign off.

My new nicknames are "Railroad" and "Tracks"...deserving I suppose. Happy training!
