Changes

So I guess I don’t have too much to report on, but weekends are about the only time I have to do updates. My build week went pretty well. I had made a decision last week that the next 11 weeks I would dedicate to my IM training. I had missed a workout hear and there, which is not like me, I can’t explain what changed. I can say I did every workout I was supposed to, and felt great b/c of it. The 80 mile ride on saturday was really nice, I rode with regina, forrest, and jeff and thoroughly enjoyed myself. If you think I like to talk then you should meet regina, it definitely made my ride fly by. The transition run didn’t go by as quickly, ok, it wasn’t too bad. We left from forrest and regina’s house and the 1st two miles weren’t too terribly bad even with the 2nd mile at 90% effort, but the last mile you have to climb this long hill to get to their driveway and it about killed me. So much for the last mile at an easy effort. 
 
Today I ran 17 miles and I was happy with how the run went. I had somewhat of a build effort ranging from 80-95%, and all the efforts felt great until the last one. I couldn’t wait for that mile and half to be over, the only problem is that once it was over I had to climb the stupid hill on frontage road over by Paris Mtn. I think I spent the next mile trying to cool back down and get my heart rate where it should be. All in all it wasn’t too bad, forrest and I finished the 17 mile run averaging 8:27. I can’t complain with the results since I wasn’t hobbling after we finished.
 
I will say I can’t wait for next weekend, not just b/c it’s a race weekend, but b/c Clemson is kind of like the Greenwood half where you see everyone you know. Sounds like there will be tons of competition and tons of fun. The best part will be racing with jules and tracy since they have both been trying to find their racing feet again. They plan to just come out and have fun, and I am just so happy to have them at a race that I could care less.
