12mile SUNDAY - 3/21/10 - day 51

A beautiful day.....a tuff run! well---it is fair-week you know! so....to be honest, I've not paid great attention to my diet, to my hydration, or to my training plan.....just haven't!!! but---sure had fun at the fair!!!!! and especially to celebrate nephew-Conor's b-day today.....Tim got me up at 6:15am....I made oatmeal and was in the truck at 7am hitching a ride w/ him over to the boat-ramp! you can see the route - boat ramp up to A1A and all the way up to Fred Tuerke Drive close to JI.......then turned around and headed back down A1A, hit the Conn Beach boardwalk and on down OceanDrive and then thru Riomar and across the 17th Street Bridge and home......did a less than 12minute mile again this weekend---YEAH---but it sure was tuff!!! Tim has said the wind would pick up about 9am....well---sure enuf----9:20am just as I was heading up the bridge......indeed, there it was.....coming from the southeast.....directly into my face! o well---I'll pretend that was special training...to help me be faster on a windless day! All along the way, I was thinking about why I'm doing this and how grateful I am for all the help and support I've gotten............we're all helping LLS make progress in the fight.............thanks y'all for inspiring me!!!!!
