Yes, days are getting shorter... I'm missing the days when I could knock out a 2hr ride and still be home before the kids got up.
Tomorrow is my big race. My "A" race of the season. I'm doing a Half Ironman (1mile swim, 56mile bike, 13.1mile run). I'm not totally certain I'm ready. Son and I drove over this afternoon. We picked up our packets. I swam the course, son rode his bike route (he's doing the sprint duathlon). We walked part of the run course. Now, it's just a matter of packing up our stuff...

Wow those runners were so fast! ( i know it sounds like I am stating the obvious but if anybody watched they'll know what I mean )
I swam a few laps at the pool. There is a temporary swim craze due to the Olympics so all the lap lanes were full (indoor and outdoor). Outdoor pool closes soon though we'll see how long this lasts, since all of a sudden everybody's offering swim lessons.

Yeah they didn't really lose if they finished in 2:15 minutes. Plus it was only Hall's fourth marathon so he's got some more time in his career.
I'd be happy if I ran a four hour marathon

The sprinters are amazing too. I am so slow. Plus the sprinters still have great muscle definition.

I was able to finish my race yesterday. It was very difficult. I hadn't trained nearly as much as i should have. Oh well. I got it done. Because I finished so late, I didn't bother to stop by the awards tent. A storm was coming in and we needed to get on the road. Imagine my surprise when I saw results posted online this morning--I placed 3rd in my age group, only a minute behind 2nd.

It was in the 50's this morning when ds3 and I went for a run! He's running a 5K on Labor Day and I wanted him to run the course beforehand. There are some rollers that can be tough if you don't know how to run them. He did great! And it felt good for me to get back out there. Couple more days of moping about, then it's time to start getting serious abotu marathon training!

I guess this time of year you have to watch that. I had planned to go three miles and managed 2.35. 
, crawling out of bed, but I'm always glad I do. It's much cooler this week - doesn't feel like it will be long before I need to break out the long pants and sweatshirts. YEAH!!!!
