August 3 to 9

Sunday-15 miler with Gazelle and Boumenot through the Misquamicut area.  This run served as a long run/recovery run.  It was a humid morning and my body was feeling pretty trashed from yesterday's BI Tri.

Monday-physically exhausted. 2300 yd swim at the Y with Shara.

Tuesday-1500 yd swim at the Y
Dog Watch Fun Run-my first opportunity to participate one of these fun events for the year.  Prior to the run I continued to feel exhausted.  Took a short warm-up with Boumenot and Shara before the run started.  I ran in 5th place early on in the run with no idea of pace.  By the time I made it through the first lap, I was in the lead. I ran the second loop all alone for the most part.  Finished in 17:20.  While I was chatting with my parents and other runners post run, I started to feel really dizzy and had blurred vision.  Having the feeling that I might pass out, I decided to take a seat on the sidewalk.  After a few minutes of sitting down, Shara gave me an ice pop and Boumenot hooked me up with his gatorade. Thank you both.  We decided to go to the dog pound for an adult beverage.  I couldn't drink much of the beer but that Gatorade was from God (Yes Julie, I called your husband God).  Still felt funky the rest of the night.

Wednesday-20 mile ride with Shara.  Intended on doing the Fun Run but had a last minute invitation to have dinner with my grandparents before they headed back to MA.  Probably in my best interest to get the rest.

Thursday-6.5 mile run from my house to the beach..6:10 average pace.  I was happy with the effort but still didn't feel great.
50 minute spin class.

Friday-am 2500yd swim at the Y.
pm 5 mile beach run

Saturday-50 miles on the bike.
2+ mile run with my cousin Pat, his dog, Lily, and Lulu.
