The Races
Weather:  Pensacola, and Alabama was sunny but cool. Ideal running conditions.   Mississippi was sunny, but windy (running half the time was against the wind).  Louisiana looked and felt like rain, but it held off.  Texas it was misty in the early morning, and then started to drizzle in the last 30 minutes of my race.  All in all - the weather was almost perfect. :)

How I felt:  I felt good all week.  Minimal limping and stiffness - and I enjoyed myself which meant I lowered by fasting to the minimum fasting 

What I enjoyed:  All the great southern foods.  Crawfish, BBQ, grits, etc ...

Training for my next series

Sitting here thinking about my next adventure, and I'm getting excided!  My next series is a little more then one month away.  I'll be running the Gulf Series, which will be a series of 5 half marathons, in the gulf of Mexico border states (FL, AL, MS, LA, TX).  Today I plan on doing a 10 mile run, and will be seeking to get to 16 miles before the race series.  One thing I'll not have to worry about is weight - I've continued my Intermittent Fasting and am somewhere between 190 - 200 lbs (but would be happy to go below 190).
