Long run on Clay Trails

A great long run on the Clay trails this morning. It is pretty hot here and humid but I found a great training partner. Going to pick up my first TT bike right now. Orbea Ordu! Awesome.

Warm in Florida

In Florida! After a quick drive down last week I am in Florida once again. The weather is nice and warm and it feels great to be outside in shorts and t-shirt training instead of all bundled up. I am getting ready for the last races of the year and am excited to wind down the season.

October

Well the weather is getting colder out and the mornings are a lot colder. The trails behind our house have been perfect for running over the past weeks. I have been taking a bit of time recovering after Duathlon Worlds. I have never done a Duathlon at that level and it sure took a lot out of my body. It was a tough race but I enjoyed it!

I did a cross country race last weekend and still could not find my spikes so I went to my parents house and found some old ones... probably 2 years old... and wore them. They ended up falling apart and breaking and one of the spikes ended up poking through the shoe and into my foot. I ran on it for a while before taking off my shoe and finishing the last 1/2 mile of the race. Of course after that I had to get two tetanus shots so I couldnt swim on Monday because I couldnt lift my arm up at all. Arghhh! Well it was fun and was a great story.
