I am in training for the New Orleans Marathon on Feb 1st. This will be my 4th and I would like to Qualify for Boston. So I am trying to stay on my running schedule but windsurf every chance...It's working so far.
I had a recovery week this week so ran 12 on sat.
Wind was East on Sunday with sailable numbers. With the funky direction the wind was straight on at the beach so I headed to Poenish on The bay. 4.7 was the call but it was pretty flat. No swell and choppy. I am glad to have been able to sail but cut my session short. Yesterday, Monday, was lookeing good Wind SE and I could hear the waves at the beach from Work. I had decided I was not going to go look at them until the wind came up. Otherwise I would drive myself crazy wanting to sail...Got to the beach around 2:30 pm and it was just not sticking. Somtimes that happens in the gulf this time of year. The usual warm waters of the Gulf cool down and when we get a warm south it just does not work. Apparently the bay was the call.
I decided to go home and play with my dog .
I was good this morning. Got up at 5am for an 8 mile tempo run. It was warmer and SUPER Humid! One of the guys from the running group had told me about Powerbar blasts. I picked some up and tried them this monring. Not bad... Will give it another shot. I still like Powerbar Vanilla Gel! Gets me through my long runs....
I have to cut down on the wine/beer intake....dang...I thought that is why I run...so I can drink!
Keeping an eye on the wind today. Surf is still good size teasing now at 17......it could happen!!!!!!!!!!!
I will eventaly take some pics and figure out how to post them!
Going online to look for a new Sail.... I hate my 5.3 session. All my others are Naish Force...love them!
