If I had one of them step counters that has seemingly taking the country by storm, it would've broken this week! It's been a rough one at work, and as such the extra sleep this morning was nice. And running can kiss my grits.
What's up?

Rest day for me.
Race day tomorrow, so trying to rest up a bit.

Good morning!
I ran 10.1 easy miles in the warm humidity. It actually felt easy, and I'm grateful for that. I think I'm finding my groove again. Maybe I'm not speaking too soon.
I hope everyone has a kickass day!

I decided to agree with the stupid idiot side of me, I am going to attempt the marathon. I'll handle the half marathon with this in mind, but I expect a whole lot more walk breaks on the 2nd loop. I am bring with me some Hammer Nutrition Endurolytes Extreme tablets, hoping that will help me avoid any headaches that will be caused by the heat and mugginess that might be in the morning.
Yes, I am stupid, I know

Rest week for me! Feels really weird to not be running, but I'm not gonna lie, I kind of like not getting up at 4am! lol
Hopefully I can find some time this weekend to put together a RR. Like a lot of people who run their first race of a longer distance, I swore that I wouldn't do it again, that it was one and done, got my check in the box, I'm good, etc., etc.. But now here I am less than a week out from the race and I'm thinking about signing up for next year before the early bird pricing expires. LOL The 100 is such an unknown, and even with good training and tons of research, there's things you just don't learn until you do it, like how quickly your body can turn on you. So now of course, I'm thinking, "I can do more, I can apply what I learned on my first go and run it better". We'll see.
Hope everyone is having a great Friday and has a fantastic weekend!!

This weekend is going to be interesting. Aside from that cataclysmic, ignominious catastrophe last month, the sun and heat has been pretty much a nonissue for me. I'll either need to get up early or keep it short, as in a mile or less. lol

And there is that thing about trying to win it.
It was super steamy last night and I was choking on all the flower perfumed air. So thick. We're supposed to be in the 80's and thunderstorming the next three days.

Four day weekend! I hit the pavement early today. 75.2 mile bike ride at 17.9 mph, followed by an easy 3 mile brick run at 8:10 pace. Today's ride was supposed to be "Ironman speed", whatever the hell that's supposed to be. I guess I'll figure it out. I rode with some fatigue so hopefully IM speed will get faster with fresher legs.
