Ended up doing an hour long bike ride the day after my 1.5 hour ride due to anticipated rain later in the week. Booty was severely sore for the first five minutes, but got better the longer I rode. Felt good throughout the ride, and did lots of hills. Ended up forgoing the second scheduled training swim due to working late and then thunderstorms Friday afternoon. Did get my butt out of bed at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday to meet Alicia for a 7 mile run through the park with lots of hills. Felt really great throughout - never got winded, legs felt great, cardio going good - although I'm not sure why I'm so amazed at this considering how much training I've been doing.
Alicia is definitely in for the San Fran Marathon in July, and I've looked up a training schedule for us to follow over the next 16 weeks. Told Shane I was actually kinda excited and taking this marathon so much more seriously than I did Chicago. Feeling really good about it, and about the upcoming triathlons, half-marathons, etc. Even thinking of doing a trail run on Halloween night just to change it up a bit.
Tomorrow starts another training week, and looking forward to getting a 1600m swim in - will be my longest yet! And in another 6 days I will run my 11th half-marathon (and 5th Derby half-marathon). Will it be another PR (or even, COURSE PR?) Stay tuned....

- After four years of long-distance running (5k, 10k, half-marathons) I got a little burnt out and decided to try my hand at triathlons. This blog is a journey into my training regime, as well as the play-by-play experiences I have had while competing in these amazingly fun events!
