2013 - "The Year Of The Run"
August 9
August 8
Skipped the swim tonight. I fly out Wed morning to pick up the family and drive them home. I would have been late to the swim anyway, so I just went home and started getting stuff together and done. Lots of little things to do before Wed morning.
August 7
Ride with Pat and Ed. Mostly flat to Canton. Watched the triathlon there. Then headed towards Jubilee. We were detoured by construction, so headed back to East Peoria. Climbed 3 big hills (Fondulac Overpass, Kerfoot, and Springfield Rd) Kerfoot may be the hardest hill I've climbed. Then headed home. I rode into Tremont and then a little past home to make it 100 miles.
2.5 scoops Infinit for the 40 miles to Canton
Clif Bar and Gronola bar at Tri.
2 scoops Infint every hour after.
August 6
EP to Morton trail.
Loose nutrition plan. Carried 7 gels in 2 flasks, and took e-caps every now and then. Really don't recall when or how many. Really wish I'd have paid more attention.
Crossed paths with Dustin, turned around and ran with him a little. Walked with him a little on the way back to the water fountain.
Endomondo (Android App had this at 18.92 (3:20:01)

2 x 1760 (4 laps of 440)
-- 33:41 (1:54/pace)

Felt nice and comfy and strong. Great confidence builder.
August 3
Run with Ed @ EP trail. Temp on the Walgreens sign said 96 at the start and 87 at the end. Humid too, when I left work at 6pm the heat index was 107. I almost bagged this run, but Ed messaged me and we decided to give it a shot.
Tried to start slower due to the heat. Ed talked about picking it up with 3 to go and did pick it up with 2 to go. I hung with him for a mile at about 9:30 pace, but couldn't hang at the 8:30 pace he went to.
Gels @ minutes 25, 55, 1:20
E-Caps @ minutes 10, 30, 40, 1:05, 1:30 (I think)
Good run in the heat with a strong finish
