Funny, all morning I kept thinking I was supposed to go swim, then I realized it was Wednesday and I dont swim till tomorrow, how can you forget that you just swam the day before?!

Going to drop by my brothers job tomorrow and see him, maybe run him over to look at my lot, which the lender called today to tell me that its now going to be next week until we close. But it looks like its all go! Wow I pulled it off. Have an appointment with the web designer next week to set up a web site for the house, so you can see it as it progresses.

The run tonight was tough, started out ok and was chatting with Dan who I hadnt seen since the winter. He had a terrible run in the atl marathon. well terrible as in he ran it an hour over his PR which was a 3.30. We chatted for a while then on turning the corner for the first big hill, he dropped off. Two guys came past and I tried to hang on to them, but couldnt, my legs are pretty well toast at this point.

Still want to mountain bike tomorrow, maybe rest on Friday then swim/ run saturday and I think the stockbridge 50 on Sunday. Hope I can get hold of Jerry to that with.

Weekend after next is the Peachtree Oly. Had an email today that there are still places and its got a limit of 300. I think I'll do it just to see how I do in an Oly. i think thats the weekend of another xterra, or maybe it was a mountain bike race, I know it was conflicting with something.

I was totally foggy when I wrote that. My run needs the most work. Once I get the endurance, the biggest issue for me is maintaining a decent pace. I just don't have a really good sense of when I'm running too fast to sustain a pace where I can finish strong and not totally suffer at the end. I don't know how to develop that sense either. I know that really good swimmers have a good feel for the water, where they can tell where they are missing on their stroke and I wonder what the analog is with running. I'm pretty sure that I don't have it yet, but I hope that it is something I can develop.

Yeah Id think thats always a problem for most people. Somedays your stronger and some days your off your game, so your ideal pace is always going to change. I guess really it only comes with experience knowing how hard you can push.
