I ran the 3M half marathon yesterday, mainly just for the goodie bag. And indeed it was a great goodie bag - all shapes of Post-It notes, clear tape, band-aids, earplugs, random stuff... and then of course I had to run the half marathon too.
1:55:33
Not spectacular by any means, but considering:
1. I ran 10ish miles on Saturday
2. The tendon or something on the back inside of my left knee hurts
3. I had to pee really badly just before mile 8 adding 3-4 minutes to my time
4. I really just wanted the goodie bag
it wasn't too bad. And faster than the only other half marathon I've run. Next up, AT&T Austin Marathon... hopefully I make it there.
Finishing last week:
Thurs - 3.2 miles during lunchtime at work, 9 miles pm
Fri - 6 miles am, 2500m swim pm/lift arms/core
Sat - run 10 miles, swim 3000m
Sun - 3M half, swim 4500m
Totals: 57.2ish miles run, 16500m swim

I forgot the entire purpose of this blog was to record my workout totals. But I guess last week was my first "real" week where I wasn't just doing whatever whenever.
Week of 01/14 - 01/20
Mon - worked 10 hours so only got to swim 3000m pm
Tues - 7 mi run am since cable installer guy was coming in pm
Weds - run 5 mi am, swim 3000m and run 3mi on treadmill pm since no time to run during work
Thurs - run 12 mi pm
Fri - run 6 mi am, swim 2500m and lift arms pm
Sat - run 23 mi (up to Mt. Bonnell and then around Town Lake)
Sun - run 9 mi, swim 5000m (longest swim workout thus far!)
Totals = run 65 mi, swim 13500m
A cold front came by last week and still hasn't left. Thus it is too cold to bike since I hate not being able to feel my feet afterwards.
Week of 01/21 - now
Mon - 30 min bike trainer am, swim 3000m pm, lift total body
Tues - run 11 mi pm
Weds - 5 mi run am, swim 3500m pm
Weather is crappy. Makes me sad (along with other things).

Been in Austin since Tuesday midday. The weather is absolutely gorgeous. It's like I completely skipped January/February/March.
So far done:
- Found an apartment and moved in. But no furniture!
- Went to Whole Foods 3 times
- Ran on Town Lake 4 times
- Rejoined the Hills Fitness Center and went swimming in the outdoor pool
Left to do:
- Revisit IKEA to buy necessary furniture
- Assemble furniture
- Get cable/Internet installed so I don't have to sit in the corner of my bedroom in my apartment that currently has no lights
