When Jeff sent my plan before he went to Houston for Ironman Texas, I thought it was a little odd that today's workout had a specific time of 5:15am in the Guero's parking lot. The group he trains were all meeting there this morning for the hill repeats in Valley Ranch. I sort of took my time this morning and didn't get there until a little after 6am. When I saw everyone coming back to the parking lot, I realized what was going on. I'm a little upset with myself that I missed out. Today would have been a good day to have some company. The west side of Valley Ranch has some nice hills. The last hill heading south on Ranchview before you get to Ranch Trail has a pretty decent grade to it. Once I reached this point, the plan was to repeat this hill 2-4 times. I decided to do four in my infinite wisdom. It was really hard. Luckily, I packed a little cooler with my Endurox and some extra water that was cold. I am capable of a a few moments of clarity early in the morning. It's still pretty humid outside and I think about 2 pounds disappeared when I weighed myself after the run. I am very close to making an appearance in the 160s again. It would be nice to get down to around 165 before Buffalo Springs. The times for today are obviously a little slower than my normal runs but the degree of difficulty was raised a few notches today. Despite the fact the McDonalds smelled really good in the parking lot, I did not cave to the Sausage McMuffin craving.
