Back in Austin!!!! After 13hrs of travel today we are finally back home. We flew over the storms in the midwest and the east tonight and we had a front row seat for the lightening storms. I cant wait to sleep tonight.
Thursday was a non-workout day but I was still out getting some exercise. My dad and I played 5hrs of golf at the local country club. I think I shot a 110 but I dont remember once the score exceeds 100. The course was really nice and it was loaded with bunkers and water.
Friday was a long run day. I dropped 13.1 miles (half-marathon distance) on the beach. I mantained a pace around 8:15 to 8:30 for the 1st 10miles and then dropped under 8min miles for the next 2. The last 1.1miles was right at 7min. I was really pushing it at the end. The total run time was 1hr 49min. The best part about the run was starting slow and holding back on the pace until the end. Once I started picking up the pace I still felt strong and at the end I felt I could still keep pushing it. I plan to use the same approach at the half in Conroe to run a 1:35 to 1:40 half.
No workouts today - just travel. I will try to get a swim or bike in tomorrow depending on how I feel and what I have to do outside training. I ate like crap this past week on vacation so I need to tighten up the diet for the next month until the race.
