End of Week 1 Half Marathon Training

It was a fun 4 days in the Hamptons. Didn't bring my bike since there were tropical storm warnings. I ran and swam. Swimming in the bay was fantastic. Yesterday, I did a 3.5 mile trail run in the East Hamptons. I love running on the trails. You forget you're running. And I feel like a big kid.

I'm back home in Jersey, and today (Sunday) I rode 40 miles with my friend Griff. Windy day, and some nice hills; but mostly rolling terrain. My legs are still tired from the trail run yesterday. I got to draft Griff for most of the ride. He's a strong triathlete.

WEEK 2
This week's plan calls for a 6.1 mile run (10k) on flat roads. It's been many years since I've run a 10k.

Monday - 1 mile swim in a lake at Cold Springs, NY
Tuesday - 6 mile run; gym workout (upper body)
Wednesday - bike; yoga
Thursday - Master's swim workout; bike hills
Friday - short run with intervals; gym workout (legs)
Saturday - back to school; drive to D.C.
Sunday - in D.C. with Andy to watch Team Lipstick at the Nation's Tri (Triathlon). Maybe Andy and I will do a short run and work out at the hotel gym together.
Sunday's my BIRTHDAY!
