Sunday April 11

Distance - Scheduled 75 run followed by a 1.5 to 2 mile run.
 I ALWAYS hate the first mile of every run and always have.   I put a pain creme on my herniated are
 which took a while to loosen up.  I also taped my foot just in case.  Once i got loosened up i was fine.
75 minutes was no problem.  1:45 minute bike ride after that which i really enjoyed.  Yell at me if you like but I put headphone in one ear today and left the other off so I could hear cars.  I know it's not the right thing to do but i wanted to try it out.  Although it was fun and helpful I don't want to get used to it since i can't use them in the race.  Any input?

Nutrition - Oatmeal before.  I carried a water bottle on the run which I'm getting used to.  I used my
mix of 4 scoops carbo pro 2 scoops cytomax, 1 lave salt on the bike.  Even though i did'n t need I want to get used to it as much as possible.  My second bottle had water and a lavasalt.   Also took a gu before the bike.  Everything was fine out on the course but i got quesy at home.  Once I ate solid food i was fine.

Song of the day - It keeps you running by the Doobie Brothers.

Motivation - Go fast.  Sometimes I do a little to much pacing so I kept remining myself to go fast.  Not all out all the time but I put more empasis on it today.
