Feelin' sluggy

With all of the traveling and dorm rooms and powerpoint presentations and buses and planes and stuff, it's been hard to keep up with the training ... and the updates. With only two weeks to to to the big day, it's time to get serious here! Can't let Team Z down!

I realized today that the run portion of the upcoming event is what is concerning me most, by far. I'm finding that I think of the event as a bit of swimming, a bit of biking, and then a half-marathon. The 13-mile run is the big unknown ... and I've got to get over that. There's not any huge reason to be scared - I went for about 8-9 miles this evening and felt great. Have to stay positive.

It's time for the weekly totals: I'll have to do a two-week chunk here, as the numbers are light and the record-keeping has been a bit disrupted by traveling and packing and unpacking: 4980 yard swimming, 112 miles biking, 30 miles running. Those totals would be pretty good for one week, but alas . . .

And the monthly totals for August: 6.75 miles swimming, 356 miles biking, 58 miles running. Slacked off, compared to July!

Total totals, starting at the beginning of June: 27.15 miles swimming, 1285 miles biking, 147.5 miles running. That's a lot of pavement and non-graceful pool turns. Only a couple of days until the fundraising deadline - still a bit of time left!
