I had to hit the trail today for the training calendar's "long run" which was to be 90 minutes at an easy pace. I ran out on the Burke Gilman trail, which I have logged more miles on in the past five years than I care to remember, but.....for some reason it never gets old. It is scenic, flat, and nature filled. In fact, today I saw a bald eagle.

re blah blah blah. It's just a good trail. What made today's run great was the weather, a fuel belt with some Gatorade, and some Body Glide....for....you know....down there. Also, I had a buddy running with me so we just cruised and chatted it up like little girl scouts selling cookies.I expected this run to be more challenging as per the higher workload this week...but neigh...it was dope. Maybe I was just cut-out for Ironman? (Classic last words of a rookie full-length Ironman neophyte.)
Day 36 Training Log - Today's training plan called for a 90 minute, easy-paced run. So I hit the trail and just cruised along. It was a really nice run. Ended up being 1:30:32 for 11 miles. That was an 8:13 pace burning 1774 calories with an average heart rate of 150bpm. It was 48 degrees and kinda sunny and I felt solid. I just might keep this training up.
