AUSTIN RULES - KEEP IT WEIRD

So, this week has been a bit busy with work. Tues - Friday I did my P90 workouts, hit the massuse and because my ankle was bothering me decided to cut back on the running.

Today is Saturday, I landed in Austin yesterday. Hit the hotel then the Applebees with my cousin-in-law. Celinda picked us up and we hit a local bar on the East Side. Then we moved to the West Side at Molotov. Let's just say I had one too many Maker's, Soda and Lime. But it was nice to cut loose. I try to only indulge in cocktails once a week. So last night was my empty calorie night. Today, it's all about the water and nutrients for tomorrow.

I just got back to the hotel. I went for a 4+ mile outside in the neighborhood. I need to just be ready to have a not so great time. I'm having problems controlling my breathing. I need to really work on that for my next half marathon in March. So I will have 3 1/2 weeks to work on it. I really have a hard time after I hit the incline and push myself. Damn I hate inclines. They hurt my breathing. But it's all in my head. At least that's what i'm gonna tell myself tomorrow. Take it slow for the first half and then push it.

Will let you know how I do. All I know is that I will be looking forward to my traditional bacon cheese burger after the run. I may even through in some chili cheese fries.

Until tomorrow...Tootles
