Three Weeks... Still
Somehow I have lost a week. Added a week. Because I looked this morning and camp is still three weeks away.
Bummer.
It seems strange in February but this week I shall be making sure I have all my outside riding gear all set. Spare tubes, pump, etc. I typically don't get this stuff ready until April. In no time at all I will be riding with friends in the sun!
I had a great week of training. I even ran an 8 miler yesterday, hanging onto goal pace for 1/2 the race before fatigue set in. The good news: I hung onto Alan one mile longer, I held my pace one mile longer, and I did not give up. Heading into a race with 12+ hours of training on my legs didn't feel bad, it felt pretty good.
Just like my uber running friends are HTFU'ing in Masters Meets, I am HTFU'ing myself up in road races. And while my times are not reflecting it yet..... I am making big gains. When I hit the road in Gulf Coast I will have these freezing cold harder runs under my belt. I will know what to do with the pain, I will know what to do with the fatigue.
In due time, in due time.
It is exciting.

Good job on all the runs on pooped legs, I am SO with you!
I'm very new to all of this. Thanks for posting your experiences and your training things......so novice people like myself can learn from the best.
