One year ago I started this blog after completing my first ever 18 mile run. That run was the final run of week 9 on the 20 week training program to run my first marathon. If you would have told me then that I would be training for my first half iron now, I would have laughed my butt off.
So about that training…
Friday was a swim only day, 1950 yards in 41:31. I really tried to work on my glide. I was taking 22-24 strokes to get across the pool, so my glide wasn’t going so good.
Saturday was a 2 hour ride on the trainer, 27.24 miles, followed by a 30 minute run, 3.37 miles (8:54 pace). My husband and son had gone to Nashville to run errands and my daughter was at a slumber party and was getting dropped off at about 11:00. I started the ride at 8:30 and knew I was going to be cutting it close on the run. So I stayed in my neighborhood. I saw the people pull into my driveway so I had to sprint to my house across some yards. I took my daughter inside and told her I was going to be right outside. I ran the last 4.5 minutes back and forth in front of my house.
This morning was a 30 minute run, 3.1 miles 9:41 pace, followed by a one hour ride in the small ring, 10.88 miles. My legs were tired. I could not make them move any faster.

Happy Blogiversary!
Hey Michelle! I thought for sure I'd see you and Lana's name on the results page for the Preds run yesterday. Try and do it next year. Awesome run! I am thinking about coming to Manchester with some friends for the St. Patrick's Day 5k. Recommended? The Tom King is the next weekend, though. Good taper run??
Happy Blogiversary to you!! Here's to another year.
I wouldn't put too much stock in just pure distance per stroke. A better measurement is to add your time for a 25 to the number of strokes needed to do the 25. Then work on reducing that sum. Just my 2 cents.
Michelle, great blog and very inspiring with what you have accomplished. I'm 47 and have done 15 marathons (doing #16 next weekend in Austin), and I'll be shooting for a half-Ironman and then an Ironman before I turn 50. If you get a chance, please visit my running web site, Faithful Soles. I have a categorized and searchable Running Blog Database on there and would appreciate it if you would link your blog to it (I already have a number of Half-Ironman, Ironman and Ultra-Runners on it). I also have my own blog, but most of my information is on the main web site. Thanks and continued good luck in your training.
Nice workouts and Happy Blogiversary!
Happy Blogiversary! Sounds like you are working hard!!
Happy Blogiversary!!!!!
