CLYDESDALE RUNNING

The race went very well. Outside of a single blister (a new one) on my right foot, I felt darn strong. I even ran a faster second half of the race. No aches, and my cardio is strong. What is the deal with my mangled looking right foot though? It’s full of blisters, or remnants of. Blisters are not an issue on lefty though, and this has been going on all year. My official time was 1:59:55. Well within my goal, and even within my long term goal of breaking 2-hours.

Just some easy work this week, then a bike tour early next week (anywhere between 105 and 165 miles over 3 days) on Sun-Tue. Meanwhile, I’ve got a marathon or two in mind. One of which requires a significant financial commitment, but we oh-so-wanna go, even though we said we wouldn’t again until late 2009 or 2010 (Disney World). Man, our kids are growing up spoiled (this would make 3 straight winters in Orlando). Nothing’s official yet, but it’s going to sell out soon, so the clock’s ticking. Backup options include Austin (where my sister lives), or waiting until April and staying local, but I’d rather be further into IM training by then and less committed to worrying about 26.2.
