With my decision to do Gulf Coast, I also changed training plans. The plan I am using is actually a 20 week plan and there are just sixteen and a half week until race day. Joe, who is doing the race and using the plan, has assured me that the first 4 weeks are just prep work and next week kicks off base 1.
So today I jumped right into the plan. Thursday’s have been rest days for me for a while now but not on this plan. Today called for a 60 minute run. I got up at 4:45 and got ready. Lana had sent me a text message that she had to go into work early and would not be able to run after all. So I decided to just run my neighborhood instead of driving over to the Rec Center again. It was warmer this morning (38 with a wind chill of 33). I started out slow and picked it up for the last 30 minutes. I ended up running 6.44 miles in the hour. Nothing great but considering that I have run everyday this week and was due a rest day, I will take it.

Half iron? Cool :-) I would have to live vicariously through you this year!!!
Great work on the early morning run! Sounds like you will adapt quickly to the training plan change.
A 9:20/mi pace at that time in the morning isn't too shabby. Nice run. Good luck with your new training plan. It will be fun following along on your blog.
4:45 as in a.m.? Look at you girlie!!!
I'm so excited for you and the Gulf Coast Tri!
Go, Michele, Go!
