I never got the opportunity to write any of my thoughts about yesterday's training so, I was thinking a lot about that training this morning while I wad running. This really was a great training weekend for me. I'm thrilled with the brick I put together yesterday and I think I am primed for the opportunity to go sub 6 in my him in two weeks. If I can run tbat comfortably at a 9:30 pace for the whole half marathon portion of the him I'll be in great position to break 6.

day off

Just one more week of real training  (actually about 10 days) until I start my 1.5 week of taper for my HIM.  I'm going to shoot for 10 hours of training this week.  I've been going at it pretty hard for the past 9 or 10 months so in many ways, I'm looking forward to the outseason... and that reminds me, I am going to refer to it in that way after a 2 week real span of r&r starting on 10/10.  I am going to completely subscride to the Endurance Nation training philosophies for the next 12 months.  I won't join with them... yet.  As it is a pretty steep charge.
