More of the same

Last weeks training was very similar to the weeks before, this yard work thing is killing me!   We should have all the yard work taken care of by the end of this week and by that I mean the beginning of the year stuff, plant beds weeded, mulch put down, fertilizer spread, holes filled in, patch kits put down, all that good stuff. 

On top of all that I have a very busy weekend.  Our Corporation Board meeting is Saturday at 10am in Iowa City, and on Sunday morning at 9am is my FIRST RACE of 2010.  That's right, River Run is finally here, and my competitions can begin.  This is perfect timing, I've been on the same training schedule for 6.5 weeks and its starting to get a little boring, this should mix it up, then its 1 more week of this training and then on to the last 4 weeks of bricks and training for the triathlon.

After the Tri its Bix training along with RAGBRAI training, should be a nice change of pace, plus it looks to save me money since the RAGBRAI training is going to be me biking to and from work at least 2 days a week.  Its 20 miles one way to work :)  

As for River Run, I have set my goal at 21:45.  That's a 7 min/mile pace.  I really hope race day adrenaline kicks in and I can run a 6:40 min/mile pace, I've been able to do the 7:00 pace on my own on my training runs so I think the adrenaline is worth 20 seconds per mile.  Wish me luck!
