7.0 miles,1:21 moving time.

In preparation for IRONMAN St. George 70.3, I was following my training plan for a long run.

Today’s run was labored. Allergies constrict my airways. Breathing is difficult, especially in the cool mornings. It’s frustrating to have a cough fit and know I’m suppose to run long. First couple miles sucked while I walked off the coughing fits. Sun came up and warmed the air a bit. I kept a good attitude and took pictures during the walking parts.The trails along the Rose Bowl and golf course are my favorites.

I also had GI issues, but let’s not talk about that. It may have something to do with the fundraiser last night with the short bar lines and the fatty rib dinner. Anyway, my Mio Link under my compression shorts works pretty good. And it’s one less thing to wear on my wrist.
