Tuesday Run

It is nice to have the weather improve. Although I don't mind running in the cold, running with just a long sleeve shirt is really nice. I am less than two weeks away from the half-marathon and hoping to finish it. Today I ran 3 miles.

I am putting together my training program and trying to decided not only when to start but when to refigure the training days. Normally, Mondays are rest days but I swim on Mondays, so trying to readjust everything can sometimes be challlenging especially when you factor in weather, work and life in general.

This week, I need to include some cycling whether I venture outside or stay in and use my trainer. Regardless, I decided run today despite the rain in order to give me more flexibility when incorporating the bike.

I ran 3 miles with some intervals. I felt good today even though I have felt very tired. Running in the rain is as long as it is not pouring and your socks don't get wet. I have written about my horrible experience of completing a half-ironman (70.3) in the rain...one of the worst races of my life. I managed to run for 3 miles then developed the worst blisterd and walked the remaining 10 miles. Zoot makes a shoe that allows you to run without socks and with wet feet.

Semi nice day to run

Today is was in the 60s, cloudy windy and rainy for part of the day. I managed to get a 3 mile run during lunch. Normally, on Tuesdays, I would swim, but after yesterday's beating, I decided that swimming 3 days would be enough. Anyway, I need to tailor running to the weather and even though rain was in the forecast, that's better than running in the cold.

Basically, it was just a simple 3 mile run at a moderate pace...still haven't found my watch and heart rate monitor...St. Anthony...
