Cayman Marathon Countdown – Day 3

Just an easy six miles today, including an aborted attempt at a short Strava segment from Public Beach back to the far end of the Reef Resort.

The first half mile of the segment was fine, but after experiencing a slight twinge in the upper left thigh area I decided to back off the pace for fear of doing any damage. I’m hoping for no repercussions on tomorrow’s run.

Beach Running

In other news, I appear to be adapting quite well to the heat, although running an easy six mile training run is a far cry from trying to race 26.2 miles of course.

As for race-day shoe choice, I’m still undecided. I wore the Topo Athletic Fli-Lyte 2 today – they’re a decent enough shoe, but I never really feel “fast” when I head out for a run in them. Maybe I’ll risk the lighter, more flexible ST-2? We’ll see. Still time to decide.

Aftershokz Trekz Titanium and Mighty Music Player

As for the vacation, it’s been great to relax on the beach, read, listen to music and catch up on a few podcasts. I’m loving the combination of my Aftershokz Trekz Titanium headphones and Mighty music player, which has turned out to be a great alternative to the recently discontinued iPod Shuffle. You can read more about both at the following links:

Mighty Music Player – a neat device that plays your Spotify music on-the-go without a smartphone.
