Dads still here. No nothing. Allergies killing me again! Went to the doc and got some spray. Hope it helps.

Dads in from Sask. No training or browsing.

Holy crap, my friend, whom I am pacing through the Marathon, has just pulled out his fastest 10k ever, not sure if it was a good Idea 4 days before the Marathon, but, he is happy. Today was georgous. It was quite possibly the nicest day for the last 2 months :) Been working on my Motorbike today, can't get the damn thing to start. Going to try and get the battery charged up and see if that works. Nice day, too bad I have to parent, I would get out for a ride. Maybe later. I will call the Tri pardner! The marathon sure is getting on my nerves. My friends all think I should run my own race. I am telling them, I am, but that its a training run,not a race for me. What do you think I should do, leave the guy I told that I would pace? Not bloody Likely. You don't train with the guy, just to leave him stranded in pain during the race. I will probably have a hard time not giving it my all but it will be good for me in the long run. Not planning too many tri's this year. Will try to keep the training up but, I really enjoy running too much. Everytime I am out on the bike or swimming, I think I am taking away from my running. But I know I am not. Hard to let it go. I worked so hard to get my running where it is now. I wish I could get the bike going as good as my run. My swimming, just sucks.

Went for a run. Tried to go race pace but could not get into the feel of 5-5:20 min ks. Felt laboured the whole way. Something not feeling right. But I think it is just dehydration. Will have to drink a ton of water. Will be trying to swim tonight, hopeully. Once out of the pool, its freaking hard to get back in.

The taper week. Ungh. I feel good so I should be out there doing something today. maybe a swim later today as it has been soooo long since I have been in the pool. Just a quick 30min one I guess.

Went out with my friends today on a 16k. We all felt very good today. Nice day for a run. Not too hot and the wind was down. It was great.

Still feeling like crap. Will try and run 16k tommorow.
