Gearing Up For Vern Week Run.. Updated

Here we are.. down to the wire.
My second half marathon. I have to go out with out my running buddy. But he will be there taking pictures!!! We will be arriving at WDW on Friday evening. Me and the kids are volunteering for the 5k. After 9:30a we will be free to roam the parks. After packet pick up of course. So those of us running this race where you all of you want to meet up?? I am staying off site. No biggie cant' complain I am still there. :)

Yesterday was a busy day, work, and another one of us with this illness. So I didn't make it to the gym to swim or start my workout plan for the triathlon, today I will be going back to start it. I ran, see what I typed{mgreene :)} I RAN 3.22 miles in 44:11 last night. My run keeper said that is a 13:42 minute mile pace. I am getting faster!!! This morning I did another spin class, I did much better, my breathing needs work. So later when E gets home we are going to go do my workout part of training I need a spotter and then work on the free style swimming getting the arms and head, and breathing in to a steady motion. Then try to put it in motion, haha I look funny. This weekend for Vern Week the plan is to do 10 miles, but my goal is to get to 15 miles. That is Saturday.

I am looking for biking shorts to get that have the padding that I can wear and swim in. I seen some on line, but I can't find them in the shops. Any suggestions??

I got the app for my phone called loose it. I can track my meals here. It does all the counting ,and everything. If they don't have to food you can add it in. I love it. And it is easier for me to keep up with my food journals.

I got the foot pads for my running shoes. The last 2.5 miles of the half my toes and the ball of my foot were aching so bad I had to slow down. I put them in and they work great. I am going to try to do this half in 3 hours. I want to shave off the 11 minutes from the first one. Let me say I will be in break down and cry if it is less than that, or more. But as long as I finish and not get swepted I am good!!!

Here is my triathlon workout plan. That way you know what I am doing, and maybe use it for you're benifit.
