To officially start off the training (ok, not really until March 10) -- but to continue the good base and foundation we have begun already -- I was out to Tempe Town Lake on Saturday with a buddy of mine (Mitchell) on an invite to run 11 miles as he continues to train for P.F. Changs Half Marathon in January. It was a nice paced run and a longer one than I probably should have attempted after 8 or 9 days of no running due to sickness and other priorities but It went smoothly with no residual effects beyond the normal soreness.....
Today I took Alexxis out for a 3.2 mile run to get her back and try to see if she will be ready for Lost Dutchman in February.....she did well but time will tell how ready she will be...tomorrow Glen and I will run 6.4 over in the Agritopia area and then maybe Bike some on Wed.....Looking forward to more pics as we train and then the actual training log we will post with results as we get into the IMAZ training sets....
OH, by the way we (Glen and I) got our confirmation emails today and we are completely OFFICIAL athletes for 2010 IMAZ -- Should be a great experience.....can't wait for the moment when Mike Reilly says to me "Gabe Phillips, You ARE an IRONMAN" as I cross the finish --- Here is to 355 days and counting.
