My legs feel great today, but my chest is still congested. Ugh. I am planning a 1h run at lunch and a 1h-ish swim at Lake Pleasant at 5pm.

Also, when did the Beastie Boys turn into this?

So I figured out that my kid brought this cold home with her. I'm on the tail end of it (I hope) and Catie is just getting into it. Kids are awesome!

Rest day today. I feel better than I did last Monday, so maybe I'm getting used to these long weekends. Only 7 days until taper!

Sunday - October 24

Run

2h 45m
17.13 miles
09m 38s /Mi

I turned off the alarm clock and slept as long as I wanted. I woke up feeling much better. This run was slower than normal, but faster than my race pace. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
Longest run ever.

Loooong ride, 55 miles with Bryan. I took a wrong turn at mile 70, but it worked out okay. My lungs hurt. I've definitely got a cold.

Run

6.11 miles
09m 49s /Mi

7 minute transition, changed into running shorts and t-shirt. Also swapped to my wife's Garmin since mine was out of battery. This is the plan for race day.
I tried to run a pace I could keep for 26 miles. We'll see.

Easy long run. Nothing hurt, but the throat is still sore. It was a nice run.

Swim

I've got this feeling like my week is busted, but I've only dropped one workout, a swim. I guess I'm holding up better than I thought.

I just signed up for this 112 mile supported ride.
