National running day

June 6th is a very important day on the calander. A day that I have known as long as I can remember. Today it has a new simpler meaning to me. It is National Running Day!

When you think about it that does not compare to the Anniversary of D-Day but this is a running blog not a history blog. I didnt know about this last year and for some reason today it means alot to me. I think it is stupid really but it was important for me to get outside and run. No surprise my training calander had a run scheduled. In fact the only days I dont train are my rest days at the Taylor Ave Station.

I got in 8 miles on a beautiful sunny morning with a slight breeze. It was perfect running weather. I finished all 8 miles sub 12:00 and was stoked with that. My running is improving alot and my goal of a PR at disney is looking possible. I have a time goal in mind and so far I am well on my way to reaching it.

I went to my first swim practice on Sunday where I offially had my but kicked. I was gassed at the end but was excited to finally meet all the Tri Girls of TNT. I say Tri Girls because I am the only Male on the HoCo Team. Everyone was super nice and for most it was also their first Tri and first event with TNT. I swam again yesterday and had a great session in the pool. I got in 1900 yards (a little over a mile) and started to put together 200's and 300's. I was very happy how the session went. I also managed to get in a 4 mile run before.

Tomorrow will be another 4 miles but most important will be on hour on the bike. I am still very nervous but with a little road time that will all go away.

over all this week I will have 3+ miles in the pool, 26 miles running and however far I can ride on the bike in an hour.

A great week of training.
