September 2
September 1
- 30m
walk, stretch and core
i forgot to mention that part of my run yesterday was through trails, 4.3 miles of it, that must be why i'm feeling some discomfort today. i may lift or swim or do nothing today, i'm not sure yet.
August 31
- 3h 00m 07s
- 20.20 miles
- 08m 55s /Mi
if this is any indication of how chicago is gonna go, it is gonna SUCK! this run felt good for about 5 miles, 5 miles in, the other 15+ did not feel good, felt like i really had to push this pace, even though the running gods tell me that i should be running my long runs right around 9 min miles. i hope they're right, and i hope this makes me sooper strong for the race. i was bored outta my mind, so i'm counting on fit to keep me entertained during the race:)

VERY WINDY! so i went sooper slow at some times and sooper fast at others.
the bike will be complete today, and maybe a swim....was that my outside voice?
STICK A FORK IN ME, I'M DONE!

the garmin said i did 10.6 miles, i imagine with all the weaving in and out and not following the blue line EXACTLY might've given me a little bit more distance, but i've a hard time believing it was a half mile. so the splits will be off a tad until we get the posted results.
1-7:50
2-7:36
3-7:51
4-6:44
5-6:43
6-8:03 this includes a gel refueling and a 'where the hell is a porta john' timeout
7-8:20
8-8:18
9-8:39
10-8:20
last .6-4:38
garmin says 10.6=7:49 pace with a max speed of 5:19-THANKS A LOT RICK
felt better at the end then i expected, considering how crappy i felt during the run! way too humid for trixie.
yes, jkbostic, a race this distance was definitely doable as a training run, and that is what i did, even though rick did start me off a bit too fast. it was nice to have someone to run with for at least the first 5. thanks rick. and thanks to grillmaster too, he ran with me for a bit. no thanks to GR8SAX, just kidding, it was very nice to met you too, see you in chicago.
on a side note, i broke the "pull up/hang" record for the marine recruiting booth. shattered it by 41 seconds and then an hour later some chick beat mine by 5 second, bitch:) so i went back and broke the regular pull up record for the chicks and finished it off with 2 one handed pull ups HOO- RAH rick has some photos :) i was filmed doing my 'stuff' and interviewed by a tv crew, i'm sure i looked like shit as i just finished the 10 miler and then this pull up stuff!
