I've been running slowly and not so surely. I finished my Escape from Alcatraz tri a few weeks ago and the run was a little disappointing (but predictable given how much I'd been not running) for me. It was more an 8 mile trail hike and less 8 mile trail run.
I've signed up for a half Ironman at the end of September and with it comes a half marathon, so I'm going to focusing on preparing for that. I'm sort of torn on how I want to train, actually. I am not yet at the speed I was pre-broken foot last year, and I've been wanting to take the time to do short (2-3 mile) runs that focus on building speed vs. longer slower runs that build endurance at my current (walkable) pace. I will probably end up with some attempt at a mix. The good news is that this half (though it comes after swimming and biking for a few hours) is totally flat and partially shaded, which I will dig in the Augusta heat.
