Guessing at the time as I left sans my Nike time piece. Went out with jschmitchicago but we seperated with about a mile and 3/4 left. I cruised from that point. and circle back enough to add about another 1/2 mile to my run. Like I said yesterday this training program that I am ebarking on is going to be tricky. I am passing the time on my runs just working on it in my head.

So I haven't heard from the Gleukos rep yet but I expect to today. I really like their product. The science behind it seems right and I feel good about the minimalist approach to their ingredients - meaning I can pronounce everything on the list and don't feel like I need a chemical engineering degree to understand whats going on.

And so the quest for the Goofy Challenge begins. jschmitchicago and I began our Marathon training today. I ran the first little bit with her and finished on my own. We also went to the gym to begin the stability portion of our off-season traithlon weight program. We're calling it Road to HIM 2007.

This is going to be a tricky fall training season. I am running with jschmitchicago as much as I can while trying to keep my own training for a 1/2 mary PR. I don't want to double my miles but need to insert plenty of race pace or near race pace training. Tricky.

Again, great morning. Crisp. Slight wind. Legs are full of lead but still pushed hard. Gotta head back to the store today. Busy with the Labor Day sale. The Gleukos cooler leaked all over the store. Gotta call the rep. Not a good out the door impression with the runners coming in to sample the product. Wonder what kind of make good I'll get for this one.
