I can finally breathe again! Had a good swim at lunch. Will post details once I get home. Big training weekend ahead. I need it, the cold has severely reduced my training volume the last week or so and I only have a few more large weeks to go before the taper. I need these long training weekends to go well. "Fingers crossed"

Good swim. Still fighting the sinus cold, but couldn't chance getting too much more behind in my training. I am feeling better, but still not great. Another workout on the sked for after work.

Tuesday - February 27

Still battling a cold and some unreasonable leg soreness from the race this weekend. Guess that is what happens when you don't workout regularly before a half-mary. Trying to decide if the workout or the sinuses are going to win tonight.

Run

2h 08m 23s
13.32 miles
09m 38s /Mi

Guess I ran a bit more than the normal 13.1 miles.

(Official race results/clock time state: 2:10:23)

Good run. Wasn't feeling like pushing too much at the start, but that may have been due to the Hurricane, couple of beers and the bottle of wine the night before. After about mile 6, I got into a groove and started picking up the pace.
