    The Final Two Weeks
    The final two weeks of regular training are about half over. I have to say that I am feeling the grind, but I'm still hangin in there. Today I went for my last long run. I did 17 miles. I love that the weather is staying warm for acclimation purposes. It was 90 here today. I ran just under three hours, which is perfect. I didn't want to run any longer than that.

    Tomorrow I have my last long swim, 4500 yds. I think that is more than enough distance. I already have a 4k swim in the bank and several 3.5k + swims in.

    Despite my hard training, I'm pretty sure that Ironman is going to be painful. I know how I felt after my run today, and I can only imagine what it's going to be like after a long swim, bike and run.

    Next weekend I have my last long bike, 112 miles followed by an hour long run. I want to run with some tired legs to get the feeling.

    I'll fill you all in after my last long bike next week.
