Rain washed out my outdoor plans today. 

So, it is a couple of long drainer rides, plus some time in the water.

Drainer ride #1 (2:30) finished..............

Swim is done.  Drainer ride #2 is next.

Drainer ride #2 (1:45) also complete.  If I never sit on the trainer again, that will be TOO soon!!!!!

Race report from yesterday is up.

I lucked outed with perfect race conditions - 50 degrees & overcast, no wind, and flat course.  Full report later, but overall great run and a PR.  There might be something to all this training.  :)

I finally got a new pair of running kicks and started to break them in today. The rest of my running shoes have well over 500 miles each on them.  I stayed with what I know - Asics Nimbus.  This time Orange and Silver and they look FAST.

Decent nooner run.  I went out hard to work on leg turnover for Saturday.  I slowed the pace coming back, but still much faster than I should running for IM training.  I am having some doubts about sub 1:40 for Saturday.  I'm not sure I've been running enough to keep that pace for the entire run. We'll see.

Swim tonight - I PROMISE!!!!!

Great endurance swim tonight.  Straight laps with zero time against the wall.  Considering the fact I hate swimming, I kinda enjoyed myself tonight.  ;)

Back at home.  Travel and training continue not to mix well.  Drainer ride tonight.  I WILL get some purple in the graph tomorrow.

Up early for a run of the Biscayne Bay Bridge.  This is probably my favorite running route in my travels, but I wasn't feeling it this morning.  My body is just a little too tired considering I've had 2 out of 3 days off.  Oh well, I think that is part of this training thing - learning to push when you just don't feel like moving forward.   Busy day today work-wise.  Hopeful hotel bike tonight. 

Hotel spin bike tonight. 

My travel plans have changed a little, so I get to run the bridge again tomorrow morning.  :)

April 9

Off to Miami later this afternoon for a couple of days.  Hopeful hotel spin bike session tonight and planned Key Biscayne bridge run tomorrow - one of my favorite runs! 

Registered for Dismal Swamp Half Mary today.  The race is Saturday and will be my first stand-alone, non-pacer half marathon since Feb, 2006.  Sub 1:40?????
