6.15.18 Friday Fun!

Day off for me. I'm taking my son to his last swim lesson this evening. He's really enjoying it, so that's a positive.

Have a good weekend!

Good Afternoon BT!

5am:  :14-1/2 mile run. 

I have been doing 4-5 surges 15-30 second with a 90 seconds recovery pace after the surge.  I am normally don't take any Gel or food on runs under about 12-13 miles long.  I just started to training for refueling and took a bottle of Gator Aid and a quartered PB&J sandwich on the run. 

I used to do peanut butter and honey sandwiches on marathon training runs and am sure I did one on a long bike ride 3-4 years back, but this morning it wasn't working for me.  I would do my surge than take the PB&J during the recovery time, but I couldn't chew or swallow.  I don't remember how I did it before.  I think I will stick with gels on my next long run.  They are much easier on to get down.  

Have a Great Day BT!

Yep...It is hard to think that the last 70.3 race I completed in was done on a 7 week training plan. I have been hitting it hard for 7+ months now and 7 weeks feels so close I feel like I should start my taper.  Remembering where I was 7 week out last fall and what I did to scramble to get ready for that race puts things into perspective. I still have a lot of work ahead of me.
