74 days until the Peak. It is full on humidity here in Florida. Luckily the sun was behind the clouds most of my run. 15 slow miles. I am giving myself permission to just run SLOW. And knowing I'll walk more in the later miles and I did. When I ran I held an OK pace. Since I normally only train for 1/2 marathons when I get above 13 miles it is new territory for me. I am working on endurance and mental toughness, what I think got me through Pikes Peak Ascent last year. I still need to work on getting in more runs and incline work on the treadmill mid week, but I am not getting in much. And this was a bad week as I had to put my 18 year old cat to sleep

Since I had this past Fri, Sat & Sunday off I did my 13 miles on Friday, biked 38 miles (rolling hills) Sat & first time Stand Up Paddle Boarding on Sunday. So very active week. And not much recovery time before I did todays 15 miler!

I have work and work conference (out of town) for the next 10 days straight...so hopefully I can do lots of short distance runs and time on TM for incline work .
