Week 15

The goal - run for an hour and feel good. Well, mission accomplished. Sunday afternoon I ran an extended version of my usual loop. I felt really good the whole time. My issues all seem to be getting better at the right time. My leg is feeling great, the foot, hips, and toe blisters are all getting better. As always the goal is to get to the starting line healthy.

The Details: 8.1 miles – 1:08:45 – around 8:30 per mile

On the iPod – I listened to a great interview with Danish triathlete Torbjorn Sindballe. What made it interesting was how he has overcome his over heating issues. For a triathlete he is big about 6’3”/ 170+ lbs so the heat really gets to him. What he does is wear a long sleeve white shirt and latex gloves filled with ice. The research shows the hands act as a thermometer for the body’s core temperature. As for tunes there really wasn’t any real need for motivation so I don’t remember any of the tunes.

Next week: Go time!

Race Goal – 4:15
