Tonight, we ran 5.7 miles. I felt some tightness in my left IT band but nothing significant like with the longer distance on Sunday. The temps outside were amazing and perfect running conditions. This was a good, steady paced run with the focus on HR. I wore my new running shoes, which are identical to the ones I've been running in all season. There was a great deal of increased stability tonight and I wonder if that minimized what I had been experiencing. Time will tell.
We also spent 1.5 hours tonight preparing the 5 gear and special needs bags that we'll be sending with our bikes on Sunday. On Sunday! I can't believe it. Everything from band-aids to cortisone cream to body glide to socks is included in these bags. Reality is setting in more and more as numerous thoughts ran through my head. Everything is packed except for a few things that I will utilize in the next two weeks that absolutely can't be duplicated. Otherwise, it will accompany Buzz on Sunday when we drop our bikes off only to be reunited with them in Tempe.
Paul and Lucas of Harrell's Bicycle World have been so good to us throughout this year. We couldn't have asked for a better support crew. They will be allowing us the opportunity to rent bikes and pedals from them for the next two weeks so we don't miss out on training. A very special thanks to them for all that they have done to ensure a successful training season for us all who shop there and are training for IMAZ.
Happy Training!
