5/7/09 - One Month Out

I have exactly one month until the Triathlon so I am really trying to get my butt in gear. Yesterday I had softball and had to pick Em up at the airport so there was no real triathlon workout, but softball worked me out a bit (even pulled a muscle in my back gunning a runner down at home from left field).

Today, once it stopped raining, I ran outside. I was tired and did not feel like it, but it was so nice for running, somewhat cool from the rain and no wind, and once I got going my legs felt really good so I made it a little bit longer run. I started off slow and built up my pace as I went. I ended up running 6.25 miles in 58 minutes and 19 seconds. That worked out to a pace of 9 minutes and 19 seconds per mile. This means at today's pace I would have run the 5 miles of the triathlon in 46 minutes and 39 seconds. I feel like that is an accurate guage of where I might be on race day, but we will see. More tomorrow!
