Where did I leave off...Thursday September 29th?
Thursday September 29th: Easy run day with Chad...7.5 miles at roughly 8:15 pace. Ran this on the Regional Trail, which is softer than running on asphalt/cement...and guess who we ran into again, Paul G. was rolling a workout, probably a final prep before the TC 10 Miler. The boy looks so smooth and strong. My run was fine...no real aches or pains, and just like earlier this week, it was hard to slow down...legs are a little sore/tired from the bike and/or lifting and core.
Friday the 30th: OFF with the exception of upper body lifting a LOT of core. Stretched some as I anticipate a long workout tomorrow...BRING IT!
Saturday October 1st: RACE REPORT will be posted soon, though here is how the rest of the day went... When I got home from the race, I ran a quick 3 miles with Jennifer. The achilles were both a little sore, but I was able to make it through the run without crying.
Later in the afternoon I hopped on the bike with a loaded backpack and headed East, taking both roads and bike trails to DT St. Paul to the TCM expo. Biked there in 1:23, strolled around the expo for 20 minutes or so, bike in tow, then hopped back on for the the trek home. Holy crap was it windy heading West....took me about 5 minutes longer to get home, and I really felt like I was working it. About 2:50 for the ride, and once home, Jennifer and I rode for another :55 into and around Wayzata...what a beautiful day :) Core/stretch and sit-ups once I got home. Race/run/3:45 on the bike and core...great training day for October!
Sunday October 2nd: Not much of a 'training' day, as J and I spent 5+ hours at the TCM...biking all over the city...probably put 30-40 miles on the bike, hauling around a 20+ pound backpack. ...and what an amazing day. Weather was perfect, company was good, and it was great to see SO many clients, colleagues and friends running both the TC 10 Miler as well as the TCM. Very inspirational...and just like every other year, I wonder why I don't run TCM. Great course, usually nice weather and amazing crowd support. Maybe next year? Hmmm...
Happy trails :)
