This is the last week for high volume training and then I start to taper next week. I have to say that I am TIRED. I didn't get out of bed until 9:45 this am. Yesterday I had a great 40 min swim followed by a 2.5 hour run. The run was was not great. My legs felt heavy and just kinda hurt the entire time; it was s truggle to get through it. Oddly exactly a week before I had a GREAT 3 hour run. That's just the way it goes. You can't have great training days everyday. But I did manage to run right into 3 deers (1 mama deer and 2 bambi's) I do all of my long runs in Umstead Park which is a great place to run- miles and miles of brdile trails all in a 5,000 acre wooded park. It's dang hilly though!

Got my haircut last night and my salon was putting in pink extensions to support breast cancer since it is October. I thought it would be fun to have some pink hair and to show my support.
