Hey, I DID have a beer with you, Jimmy. About that time, I walked down to the riverwalk (I'm in San Antone) and had a BBQ sandwich and a beer. For only $23! (Okay, I had two beers.) I've decided San Antonio is too expensive. And it's kind of scary walking around downtown by yourself. I decided to get back to my hotel before the sun went all the way down.

Nice 8 mile tempo run, half a mile warm up 7 miles at about 8:35 and half a mile cool down. Now I feel good, I was feeling crappy all day cause I missed my run in the morning but now I got my fix

Ran 5.5 miles at a 9:37 pace, which is fine with me. Blisters didn't feel too bad but I could still feel them. Not as painful as yesterday though. I cut my run short since I started a little later than I had wanted and it was getting dark. Running in the dark just isn't for me, freaks me out a little bit. I keep expecting something to jump out and get me.

When a good song comes on my ipod while running, I tend to sing along very quietly. Today three Abba songs came on in a row and I love me some Abba. I must have been singing a little bit louder than I thought and I was getting some strange looks and then this guy came up and started singing alone and thanked me for the entertainment. I'm sure I scared a lot of people, I do NOT sing well!

7.5 miles for me today and it was a little bit cooler so it felt really good. The bad news, I have a Hurricane headed right at me and it is going to bring very warm and humid conditions for Sunday's 16 miles. Oh yea, then there is the next hurricane lined up which may be following the same path but is much stronger. Yay!

I am not too concerned with Hanna but Ike will be a bear, I think! It is still too early to know for sure but it looks promising to disrupt my mojo. Gustav was a pain but no damage to my homefront. The beaches and structures along the beach felt it's wrath. The casinos even closed down. until this morning. Be safe Al!

I fixed it and would not have noticed that I goofed it! I had a beer and am now hydrating the right way for a longer run tomorrow! I don't have to go to work.

Enjoy the rest days and good luck on your triathlon, I know you'll do great. Don't forget to post a RR.

Just had a very good 8 miles. Ran the meandering paved trails in the woods out here in Reston. I saw more deer than people! (4 deer, 2 people, if you are keeping track).

Picked up the pace on the second half and finished in a personal best 1:07:46 (8:27/mile pace).

So I'm happy. Only a 5 miler tomorrow and then a 2-day rest before the olympic-sized triathlon on Sunday morning!
