Just a quick update on the training... Still going well, still pluggin' along...the feet have been a little sore lately, though that's only because I have been in run focus for the past 2 weeks. Should hit 50+ this week, which is a lot for me.
Over the past 10 days since my last post, I've had a couple of near-EPIC rides, including last Saturday at Life Time SLP, and some quality, though mainly 'miles' via running. I am pacing a 1:29:59 group (6:52 pace) at the Get Lucky Half Marathon this Saturday, and just to be sure I could do this without a hitch, I did a modified up-tempo run on Tuesday of this week, mainly for confidence. 8 mile run on an out and back course...felt good right out of the gate. Miles 1-4, 7:05, 6:56, 6:58, 6:54 (27:53)...at the turn-around I upped the ante just a hair...6:51, 6:44, 6:42 and finished at 6:39 (26:56/54:49). The run felt pretty easy and I did a nice cool-down walk/jog when I was done to total 10 miles for the day. It seemed to go pretty easy, could have 20 at that pace...and what a beautiful day...wow!
So, things are still going well...excited to get out on the roads later this month (fingers crossed)...thanks for checking in!
