This morning was breakthru workout #3 of my taper. I did a brick with a 60min bike followed by a 30min run. On the trainer ride a tried to maintain high 120s for HR while moving up and down the gears. Avg Hr on the bike was 122 (probably could have done better but steady riding on the trainer gets boring and when you watch TV you tend to lose focus). after a 5min transition I manage a 4mile run at a blistering 27min. I didnt have the GPS working to check my pace but I know the route and I know from feel I was flying. My avg HR was 145 and on the last 1.5 miles i was at 150 and feeling good. I think my run is definitely at its peak right now so I am ready to get the race on. Due to my knee and hammy I will do 2 more transition run but that will probably be it. I will swap 2 other planned runs with biking unless my leg makes a big 180. I think my run is going to really rock in Conroe - i think i have a 1:35 half marathon in me. cant wait to find out.

Got in my last weights workout at lunch today. Ice cream cone tonight thanks to another successful BT workout!!!
