TURTLE will replace the sunday stuff... we will see how I feel on sunday.. as I would still like to get in a nice long LSD run before the week is up..  hope the TURTLE Lake isn't algae infected like it was last year.. yuk....

until I actually started running.. i was just dreading the thought of running.. I took a nice afternoon snooze from 3-5... bummed it most of the day.. did a bit of paperwork..and surfed the net.. flipped the channels a few times..  ate some food.. muchies...

I bot some more toys for my truck.. so I can take my kayak out.. got a yakima bowdown kayak carrier... will drive over to lino lakes and kayak round there.. i think since I have nothing better to do between training sessions.. doh!

fternoon...

really hot out.. but a dry heat... wolfed a full 20oz while running.. same old route.. 56".. walked 5" before sitting down... nice an cool inside.. 

really worried about the distance and total IM now... still cant fathom all that in one day.. even though I have done the full bike and swim.. its the 26 mile run that gets me...  maybe I need a few 20 milers to make me feel more confident.. cause my head it playing games with my gut.. and its starting to get to me...
