Team Firefighter

Another good week almost in the books. I will finish out the week just about 50 miles and still filling strong. I did have a poor long run this week. I chose to run a new route with a 14 mile out and back. Bad choice! It was hot but not to bad, no shade and I under estimated the hills. They were long and with just enough incline that I really had to work getting up them. My legs were and are hurting like never before. With the added swimming and biking and longer runs early in the season my legs are taking a beating. I managed 10 out of the 14 miles and happy with that. I am on pace with the TNT team and have no worries. They have not failed a runner and Kerri has me ahead of the game. I am still learning this endurance athlete game and still working on nutrition as a plant based eater and need to work better on my post training recovery.  Making all a routine is just as hard as the training.

Ironman Lake Placid is Coming up and for some reason that specific event keeps poping in my mind. The olympics there were very influential to me as a kid and as always been a very special place to me. I am going to try my hardest to get into this event for 2013.

I am proud to announce that I have become a member of Team Firefighter. Team Firefighter is a coed mix of Firefighter from all over the county who are dedicated to promoting Health, Wellness, and Fitness in the fire service through sports and endurance events. It is an amazing group of people and am proud to be a part of them and continue to inspire others.

I am getting nervous as Nations is 57 days away and Disney is 180 days away. with 3 marathons in between.

I have not failed before and dont plan on it anytime soon
