I greatly enjoyed the time off yesterday from running, I only rode the bike for 20 minutes and lifted weights. My legs are tired, so the recovery week came at the right time, the only problem is that its RAINING outside today, so looks like a treadmill day for me. My big concern though is that this Tropical Storm Ernesto is supposed to head up the coast this weekend, meaning that it could be raining for the half-marathon on Sunday morning. That will suck. I can handle rain, but not torrential downpours! Oh well, maybe i’m jumping the gun.

In looking at my schedule, i’ve completed 12 weeks already, with 6 weeks to go until the big race. I really only have 3 more hard weeks left, well, this week isn’t really hard, but only 3 weeks until taper time. I’ve found though that I haven’t been eating quite as good as I was, and although i don’t feel i’ve put weight on, I feel much more full than I used to. But then there are times when i’m not so full …. I just don’t know.

Either way, I’ve got 5 scheduled (on the treadmill apparently) for today, should be a decent light run to get the legs warmed up. I guess its a different workout for me to do the treadmill, so its not a bad thing, I just hate the boredom of being inside.
