Justin's solo training

It's been 3 days since Justin has been training on his own and he's doing a great job. He's followed the training schedule I left with him before I went to San Diego and has downloaded all his training data to his Garmin Connect account for me to review. I think he may have turned a corner last weekend when we did the simulated race at his cottage because I can see some more commitment and confidence from him. Or maybe its just fear that Miami is approaching and he's got to build up his distances. Just kidding Justin. There's a definite change in attitude towards his training and it will make a huge difference in the long run. Get it? The "Long Run". He's got 3 more days till I get back with tomorrow's long run and then a couple of easier days to start next week. Keep up the great work Justin, I'm looking forward to getting back and resuming our training together. As for me I had registration today for tomorrow's race in Solana Beach and then visited a bunch of favorite shops to see if I could find any good deals on gear. My swim suit is deteriorating quickly so I went to Paradowski's and found a nice suit on sale. Good thing because any longer and the one I'm wearing now will not be decent. Then off to my favorite shoe place, Roadrunner Sports. These guys have a clearance centre where if you're lucky you can find the greatest deals on running gear. Last year I picked up a pair of Mizuno's for $35! I was hoping for something similar this year. I was also on the lookout for shoes for Justin so I had my fingers crossed. Well I cashed in for both of us. I located a pair of Asics for Justin at better then half price compared to what he'd pay in Canada and as for me I found 1 remaining pair of K-Swiss Kona's for $30! Unreal. Funny thing is I was just on the Ironman website last week and noticed that K-Swiss had sponsored the Kona Ironman run portion of the race in Hawaii and had introduced this new Kona shoe and it caught my eye. And now I have a pair. I love Roadrunner Sports.
