September 5

Not sure what or how to log today.  Got up early and went downtown to watch my uncle in the Austin Tri.  This was his first tri and unfortunately, he did not train for it.  He thought he could just go out and do the Olympic.  I have to say, he got it done, but it wasn't pretty.  I'm pretty sure he was the last one out of the water for the Olympic (he even got passed by the sprint distance athletes).  The bike portion took him a long time and he ran out of nutrition.  Most everyone was done and gone when he started the run.  I ended up "running" about 4 miles of the run with him to help keep him motivated to finish.  I was in my vibrams.  There was a lot of walking involved.  But, he finished.  And I think he learned his lesson and IF he does another one will hopefully train for it.

Run
  • 1h 00m 31s
  • 6.00 miles
  • 10m 05s /Mi

**updated**

Got up early again and got 6 miles in before heading back to the soccer fields. This mornings run definitely had cooler air, but very windy.

Came home after the morning soccer game to find smoke bellowing from fields not far from our neighborhood.  Throughout the course of the evening we would learn that our small town had 3 fires and Central Texas had MANY fires break out.  The fires are devastating and the winds are creating difficult conditions for firefighters.  We really need rain.

  • 15.00 miles
  • 10m 49s /Mi

**updated**

Dare I say that I could actually feel hints of coolness in the air this morning. We still have a way to go, but it was a start. I wasn't soaked in sweat after a mile.

Ran 9 feeling pretty good, but then did some run/walking the rest of the way. Not sure when or how, but I seemed to have an issue with my hip flexor/groin area. Need to figure that out asap.

Got done with the run in time to shower and eat and head to the soccer fields for my son's soccer tournament.  We were out in the sun all day, getting home around 5pm.

Run
  • 2h 02m 13s
  • 11.00 miles
  • 11m 06s /Mi

Treadmill run. Yes, I really did all 11 miles on the treadmill. I am so sick of the heat and waiting until late to even start the runs that I just decided I was going to get it done on the treadmill. The bad news is that I run slower on the treadmill than I do outside, but the good news is that I don't walk at all on the treadmill.
