I did do my 4.5(+) today. Why the +? Well, Yas was having some left shoe issues. The beginning of the run was start/stop as she was trying to adjust her shoe. She ran about .1-.2 miles with Mr. Garmin off. More calories for me to eat, and did I ever eat them.
I focused on pace for this run. I was planning on doing intervals, but I had forgotten to take my daily use inhaler that morning (Yes I've had asthma for as long as I can remember. I've always had a rescue inhaler, but I just got a daily inhaler last week and I'm not in the groove of remembering to take it) and I was having trouble getting into a stride.
Everything finally came together around 1.5-2 miles. I wasn't in any shape to even think about intervals, and who cares when you get your mileage completed. I think I'm going to add another short run into my schedule, just to focus on speed intervals, maybe 2 miles?
Here are my splits:
Mile 1: 12:38
(I forgot to start my lap when I started to run, so this includes some warm up walking.)
Mile 2: 11:11
Mile 3: 11:22
Mile 4: 11:30
Mile 4.5: 5:48
As for my Tri training, I've been letting the cycling slide. I'll need to jump back in that saddle sometime soon.

Sweet miles, and great pace. Sometimes, it is so difficult to fit in all that training...Do you access to a spin class? That is always good for a cycling block.
