well the other thread was no longer about water and needing to drink while running, which I still have to do. After the 1.5 mile mark I start getting stomach cramps that only water has helped with.

Anyway I am now in week 3 of my training, 5 left till race day!

I can run 2 miles in 18 1/2 minutes and thats a normal pace.

I am now riding 7 miles every other day.

I do understand what you guys meant by not running everyday its hurt me to run 2-2 miles stretches back to back.

I am really enjoying the running though which has made my cycling easier also.


I am thinking from here on out I'll run 1 day cycle the next and do that 6 days a week.

I did some walking tonight after my bike ride and walked a mile just to cool down.

what do you guys think about alternating?

I know "fail to plan, plan to fail" but I've already stated I'm not a traditional person- more of a bull headed charge in kinda person
