Confidence is High

After weeks and weeks of rain, the weather in Pittsburgh this afternoon was exceptional.  I ran 10+ miles in 1:27.04.  It was an awesome day for a run.  

Getting up over the 10 mile mark is also a big confidence builder.  I don't know if I mentioned this previously, but I am running the City of Pittsburgh Half Marathon a week from tomorrow.  That is the reason that my training has been predominantly focused on distance running.  

After the half, and in the three weeks prior to the tri, I am going to switch gears and incorporate a lot more swimming and biking, as well as combination workouts.  I feel like the half training has provided a solid endurance base.
