Coaches Schwag

Somehow the run this morning seemed effortless. I ran through mile six and seven like no energy was being expended. Totally effortless. Even the first mile was down in the 08:xx.x minutes per mile area. A first there too since adopting the new program. I don't know if the coaches seminar last night, listening to Paul Carrozza, President and CEO of Runtex and a member of the President's Council on Fitness, go through all the bio-mechanics of the foot and leg and how running happens. Or is supposed to happen. Maybe that sunk in really hard while I slept and I woke to perfect form. Hahahahahaha. Maybe a little. I know I didn't run on my heels at all today.

One thing that didn't work today was my BodyGlide. It didn't work because I haven't been able to find it in over a week. So with the 89% humidity and the seven-mile run this morning my legs rubbed a little and I paid dearly in the shower with the hot water hitting that area. It was annoying all day as well.

There's anopther benefit to becoming a coach. New Balance and Brooks are sponsoring the program so we get an outfit from one of the sponsors. New Balance has always fit me well and that's the sponsor I'm tied to for new shoes, shorts, tech shirt and hat. Sweet!

Not much on the carbon fiber fork for the bike. The last three auctions have been a little pricey. The next one to come up is two days out from closing.

Tomorrow is my tri-day in the schedule. A morning run of six miles followed by a 1500-meter swim and then a 15-mile spin on the trainer at noon.

Hey, if you get some time, show Iron Wil some support and love. She's having a rough week, Hell Week actually, in training for her first Ironman come September 10.
