Fall Weather!

Sept 17 - Sept 23
S:  11,267 yds - 2hr 42min
B:  159.98 mi - 8hr 24min
R:  27.95 mi - 3hr 42min
Total:  14hr 48min

At the risk of saying this too soon, we finally have some fall-like weather in Birmingham!  It really is nice to start out the day with a workout in 50 degree weather.  This week was almost "normal", except that run volume was a little low...after some easy runs on Monday and Tuesday I had a stellar run set of fast 3' efforts on Wednesday, but Thursday's run was plagued by a tight left hamstring so that was it for the week until a short run on Sunday.  After crushing Sunday's bike ride in near perfect weather, I finally feel like I'm completely recovered from a 3 week stretch that included 3 olympic distance races and ended with an upper respiratory infection.   With Rev3 South Carolina half-ironman 3 weeks away, things seem to be on track for a good result.
