Hoping to get a walk in later and maybe some stretching. I have a serious day at work today so we'll see what happens.
So... I am now registered for the New Orleans Rock-N-Roll Marathon... OMG what was I thinking! A full 26.2, it's not until the end of February, so I'll have time for a fall training break before getting into a new round of work-outs for the big race in Feb. I am a glutton for punishment!

Short Trace run
OWS
Regular group OWS. My goal is to get closer to simulating race conditions; for today my plan was to get to the buoy and do the turn around without stopping the entire way. I did it; never stopped and stayed in freestyle all the way. Slow, but making progress!
My run was hot and humid, geeze, and I sweat like a pig, this is what it is supposed to be like for the half on Saturday. I bet I'll be visiting all the drink stations! OWS this evening.
Yesterday was a rest day... even if I hadn't planned it, it would have become one as I was so busy at work! Watched Running to the Sun, about the Badwater 135. My lord those folks are nuts, but at the same time, what an amazing accomplishment. I can't even imagine running 135 miles, most at over 100*F... and that guy who had all his toenails removed so he wouldn't get blisters and such, yikes! It was a very good documentary and I highly recommend it.
Off for a run! (a short one)

Thursday, not sure, maybe a good walk. Friday I will do little if any at all. I am excited about my race but want to make sure I stay healthy this week.
