I started this blog with the intention of documenting my training for my first Half Ironman race in late October of 2012. It was kind of fun keeping track of everything so I decided to keep going. Who knows where this is headed but I will keep the information rolling and see where it goes.

Sunday Run 7.8.12
Plan calls for a steady 75 minute run. Speed is not important as most of that work was done during the week. My legs were really dead after a long week of intense training. I have put in almost 30 miles this week in running. I do about 88 miles in a heavy run month so this is a little more than usual. One of my Sunday run partners is on vacation and the other couldn't make it this morning so I was on my own. I ran through the park to 121 and up the service road a little bit before turning around and heading home. I covered 7.54 miles and maintained a pretty good pace until the last half mile. It was brutal working through the end of the run and I was glad it was over. I was a little out of sorts this morning. I took a shark salt before I left and filled my fuel belt with water. However, I forgot to take gels or extra shark salt with me. This may account for my late fade. I also had some stomach issues last night. I don't know if I ate something that didn't agree with me or what. Had a glass of Endurox when I got home and cooled off in the pool. Love the pool in the summer. Looking forward to 48 hours off the legs to be sure.
