Legs felt pretty good rough during and after this one, but I went home and slammed lots of drugs. All better.

Saw an old friend while on my run.  He was crossing the bridge from Ohio to KY and had a garbage bag.  I think he's kinda homeless.  Stopped and talked to him for a sec.  Sad.

HOLY COW that hurt! Lats are wasted...but I guess that's a good thing.
Any how....
500 warm up
1st 1000 was 17:36
2nd 1000 was 16:43
300 warm down...cause 200 more would have just been sad.
Weird part was, I felt pretty strong once I got into these. Not fast, but strong....at least stronger than usual and stronger than I thought.

Yowza.

So.......Bt......stupid FB continues to hurt you I fear. 

So things are going well overall I suppose. 

It's funny how I consider myself a triathlete, but I rarely do triathlons, and then, it's mainly Ironmans.  We used to do several short tri's every season, but now if we do 1 or 2 it's a stretch...but we are still somehow triathletes. 

Main focus seems to be on Ultras lately, or some variation of the theme.  For example, my big races for next year are:

Boston Marathon, Carmel Marathon, Big Sur Marathon, Flying Pig Marathon:  4 marathons, 4 weeks.  I've done this in training before, but if I do this in a official capacity, I can become a Marathon Maniac, so there's another notch in the athletic belt.....

THEN, it's train for and run another....HARDER Ultra marathon...the Burning River 100

THEN, it's train for and finish a Double IM at the end of the year.

Ok...now that I've written it here, I feel better.  carry on.
