I think I can official say "finally"! There are no more runs greater than 1 hour until I get through T2 at the race. I feel that I'm as ready as I can be. I have talked with countless people about this race and course. I have read book after book and I have put in the time, miles and effort. Now I just need to stay healthy, get to the start line on 29 August and get it done.

Today I had my girls most of the day. Actually I have them until next Wednesday but I found some time to get away and do a short ride and long run. The short ride was 47 minutes and covered 13.4 miles. The goal was to spin at a high RPM (>100) and then get my run on. I ran through Sea Shore state park for 1:51:27 covering 14.15 miles. That was good enough for a 7:53 pace. That is exactly the pace I'm looking for at the ironman.

I also received my bib number today. I'm officially #2481, you'll all be able to track me on race day through the ironman website. I'll post all that info before the race.

I'll be back on Monday so have a great weekend!
