July 8th - Last long run

We almost had a full day with no rain.  It didn't start raining until 8pm so I had plenty of time to get in my last long run on my training plan.  I went out for a 2.5 hour run and decided to try intervals of 6 minutes running to 4 minutes walking.  This seemed to work really well and I was able to cover 14 miles.  It looks like this is the ratio I will use in Lake Placid and of course I will modify it if necessary as the race goes on.  I felt really good on today's run, even though it was extremely hot today.  The weather in Lake Placid should be better than here in Georgia, although there is always a pretty good chance of rain at the race.  If anything it will at least be cooler.

I was also supposed to do a core workout today, but since I was tired from the run and it was finally not raining, I decided to cut the back grass and change the oil in my truck instead.  I also made a new mounting system to carry the bikes in the back of the truck for the drive home. 

Tomorrow I have a PT session, and I will do an easy swim and hopefully an easy ride outside if the weather hold.  I will also try to squeeze in the core work that I missed today.
