AM - Big Workout #14 3xmile.  I am kind of down on myself for this workout.  It was supposed to be 7 miles at LT (5:30), but I could barely get the three in at 5:41,40, and 39.  So I just called her quits for today and came home.  Since Ally and I have decided not to go to San Fran, my workout schedule has become much more open, so I will come back and try this one again a couple times to work up to the 7 and bring the times down with a little fresher legs.  Did the workout on the Lava Point section of the River Trail - went out toward Coral Canyon and started my 2 mile Tinman, which were hideous and a warning of things to come, then down past the dump onto the trail.  Good place for repeats, but the body just couldn't give it today.  Came home and took Molly around.  (Triumph 72.85)

evening - 8.25 Club Run.  Went out into the fields.  I worked to keep everyone pretty slow and easy with my yelling and complaining - worked on everyone but the high schoolers!  (Stratus bee 686.5)

I try not to wimp out - but sometimes you just have to cut it.

Thanks Jon - I'll tell you... I have been reading a lot of blogs on this thing and I am pretty intimidated!

From Jon on Fri, May 29, 2009 at 15:08:34 from 138.64.247.16

Dave- they should be intimidated by you! I guarantee that you will be in the best shape of anyone at the race (i.e. the most miles!), and you have been doing lots of long runs and hill work. Just don't go out too fast right at the start, and you'll be fine!

From dave holt on Fri, May 29, 2009 at 18:23:03 from 75.169.93.190

Yeah, I think I will chill it pretty good for the first part - nice 7:30 on the easy stuff and then just survive the hard and harder stuff!
