Thursday evening: Friends of the River “Party In the Village” Run – Fort Worth. My friend Roberto says it’s a “food and drink party that just happens to have a 3.4 mile run in the middle of it!”
Saturday morning: Four Seasons Cool 5K/10K Run – Las Colinas (Irving). I’m doing both for a total of 15K of running fun at the Four Seasons Resort.
Sunday morning: Monster Sprint Tri in Keller. With my slacking off of training I'm probably not going to PR the course this time ... so I think I may dress up in a costume at T2 for the run. If I can't have a good finishing time, then at least I can look good for the race photos. :-)
I did get in a couple of spin classes the week after my 70.3. And I wasn't a total slug during my trip to India. I had three sessions of approximately 60 minutes each on the hotel elliptical trainers/treadmills. And I'm happy that I was able to get those in.
However, today, for my first real workout, I ran 5 miles with Derek, Jarrod, and Matt on the Campion Trails and it was TOUGH. The temperature at 12:30 seemed much hotter than the advertised 79 degrees - maybe it was the humidity. I ended up completing our 5 mile out-and-back route in 49:12 for a 9:51/mi pace, but it would have been much faster if I didn't have to stop several times after the 2.5 mile turnaround (at 23:19) to get my heart rate down. I've had a nagging stomach ache for the last couple days and it started acting up for the last 2-2.5 miles. I'm hoping that was the root cause of my less-than-stellar performance.
My heart rate kept spiking in the 180s. Not good and unexpected since my pace while running was never higher tha n 8:30/mile for the last half of the run.

Oh well, hopefully I'll be better by the end of the week for the actual events.
