Alarm set for 3:30... but I have this sick and twisted thing in my life that makes me wake up one hour before any alarm. So at 2:30 a.m I got up went to the restroom and was... up. FML
Long run down the marathon course. Second longish run down it in 5 days. I kind of wanted to do a 4 mile, 8 mile, 4 mile tempo workout today. But after only about 3 miles I decided to bag it and just go a little longer. Just wasn't feeling it today. At all. Had some mexican food last night. Large combo plate... made for 5+ star morning. Got to clean up the diet next week for sure.
Anyways Aaron and Steve basically took off right out of the car. I thought even if I do run hard today I'll warm up first. But after 8.9 miles and our water bottle stop I wasn't into it. So Logan headed out to get a progression run in and I just made my way down the course. Fastest mile of the day was 5:56. Once I got to Bluff St. I was basically at mile 17 and I took a left up over Red Hills PKWY and followed the Ironman course to it's turn around. Then I dropped down around Dixie St and back up around the park to extend it to 23.25 miles for the run. Hit a 6:30 avg today. Nothing fast... but kept it honest and got some good miles on the legs to finish off a solid week since the half last Saturday.
146 lbs after. Wish it would have at least gave me one more pound off... Feeling too heavy heading into the weekend.
