What a run! And I came in under my predicted time. 1:54:42!

I've had better pre-race sleep, but I'm used to getting up at 4a.m. so I feel fine. I'm looking at this half as a training day, and oddly enough my training calls for a 2 hr and 30 min run. Right now there are people pacing the floor, anxiously awaiting the start of a big race for them, but for me this is just another step on the path to IM. I'm very relaxed and at ease because I can see the big picture, (even though I hate that phrase.) A few people from the cardiac rehab dept. will be running, and the Oregon Heart and Vascular Institute will have a water station at mile 8. This will be a great race!

I rode with my friend Chris. Two years ago I had heart surgery, and one year ago he had brain surgery. It was a special anniversary ride.

I'll be riding with someone today. Yay I have a bike buddy. Not sure how far we'll ride since I have a 1'30" ride on schedule but missed a 2' session Wednesday. I also have a half marathon on Sunday and want a good time.
