It is 5:30 am and I am sitting on a bus on my way to another race. This race is the Salt Lake 1/2 marathon. A lot of things have changed from my last post including the purchase of a new bike! As bad as ot might sound I have not been back in the water since the last race. I have been running off and on for the past few weeks including a 10 mile run with my father in-law. That was an interesting run. We stopped at mile 6 for an espresso.
Today I am feeling sick. I have been fighting off a cold all week. Usually when I get sick it goes straight to my lungs. This time I only started coughing last night. Over the years I have done numerous dumb things in training before a race. On wednesday I decided to take the family to sugarhouse park to run hills for speed work. It seemed like a good idea at the time but my legs are still sore. I bet I will pau for it on the uphill portion of the race. I am 100 percent focused mentally for this race. Hopefully that will overcome the 80 percent my body wants to give.
