Lunch won't happen today, but I will get off work a little early and knock out a run. My plans changed today/tonight that made lunch a little harder to do.

haha I like it! Mine's "Don't eat the paste" I think before my next race i'm gonna put it on a shirt!

What a great article!! I wish I had read it before my Ironman 3 years ago - though I think that for the most part I didnt eat much paste. I definitely ate some on the bike, but when I realized I was eating it I think I caught myself a few times and spit it out.

isn't it great!! Even though I don't bike or swim the part about the past is soo true!! People talk about going faster so I want to go faster, people talk about running more so I want to run more... Where I am really good about not eating the paste is the start of races - I am always getting passed by people in the beginning and I just stay at my nice even pace - my issue is that I rarely pick it up after that! LOL Jug - I'll be checking back in tonight to see about that run Mr.!! Man my fitness sure did decrease in 1.5 months! LOL

doing well! feelin good. Might go pick up a stick - I have really tight quads - thought maybe rolling them out might help.

You could also try a foam roller if you have one, or if not, see if you have a one inch dowel and roll your quads with that (or even a piece of PVC pipe)

How did the race go???

It was a little warmer than I would have liked, but it was OK. I made the mistake of going out the night before and didn't get home until 1 AM. I won't do that again before these longer races. How is your running going? We are quickly approaching the double digits here! Smile
