5 days to go.......For the first time, the workout seemed like a taper. One mile warmup, 4x800 at 10k pace, and a 1 mile cool down. My 800s were all 5k paced. I felt good and the pace was comfortable so I just went with it. I bought new running shoes and they felt nice. Still the same crappy blue and orange color. I was hoping for change of color pattern. The 800s were at 7:59, 8:08, 8:06, and 7:52 pace. The warm up and cool down was done at the track instead of running there and back. I wanted to protect my legs as much as possible. I may do the Thursday run at the track as well for the same reason. Some interesting numbers looking at my stats for the year.
Running: 753.41 miles/128hours:3 minutes:56seconds
Bike: 2613.86 miles/167hours:24minutes:7seconds
Swimming: 240045 yards/94hours:34minutes:48seconds
Total: 3508 miles 390 hours
Thats alot of time and mileage but pales in comparison to others that do full ironman training. Still, for me, its a big step up from last year. If I'm not ready now, then when?
