I don't know what it was today, but the roads were full of cars and trucks during my run. Even Alice, who went to Reid's hockey game while I ran, said the roads were unusually busy with traffic. I had a bit of a scare when an old guy drove his vehicle within a foot of me. Old people driving scares me.
During my run I was listening to a Podcast that interview people that stopped drinking. I figured I need some motivation to slow down. It's getting too crazy, even for me. Last night was another late one. Even if I could cut down to two party events a month, I'd be happy. The drinking is starting to control me, not good. Time to adjust.
My hamstring was feeling better the past few days and 7 minutes into my long run it started to get sore. I kept going and it loosened up a bit and by the end of the run it wasn't an issue. I noticed on my countdown timer that today is exactly 40 days until Clearwater. That's not too long and with an extra weekend falling in October, I think I may set some record training mileage. I've already done my longest bike ride I've ever done in October.
Long Run - 1:48:18 / 13.04 miles / 8:18 pace / avg 140 bpm / 1632 ft of climbing

.06 away from a half-marathon! You have a tought mind not to go back out for OCD bean counting numbers. Good job on the drinking related relfection and clarity. I know you can meet any challenge.
That's nothing, last month, I ended up doing 559.99 miles of training and didn't go out for the 30 seconds that would have got me to 600. I figured I'd forget the 600, heck I've done well over 800 miles in a month in the past, but I'd never forget the 559.99. lol.
