| Last week was kind of disappointing for me because I only got 50 miles in and my goal was 70. I'm doing what I can to eliminate my shin splints, so that shouldn't be a big problem in the future. I'm also trying to sleep more so I can run each individual run better. My biggest obstacle I think is being too tired to do speed workouts, and that's mostly because I don't get enough sleep. I'm excited for the upcoming race on July 4th. It should be a fun one. | Add Comment |

| This was inside on a treadmill because it was 104 degrees today. I ran a normal run, with two tempo miles in the middle at 6:00 pace, which is my target marathon pace. This was a really tough run, I'm not sure why. | Add Comment |

| Nothing today because of the race tomorrow. I actually wanted to do about 3 miles today but decided against it at the last second. | Add Comment |

| I felt pretty good about this race. I ran it at about the same pace as the half marathon a month ago, which is interesting both because that was a month ago, and because this race was half as long. The overall times were several minutes slower this year though, so I'm not worried about it. I feel like I'm doing pretty well for where I am. This is my last race until the big one....the Pocatello Marathon on August 31, so I shouldn't miss any more days until then. I can look forward to that now. | Comments(1) |

| I just did four super easy miles today. I'm actually not very sore from the race yesterday, but definitely tired. Also, I want to have a good long run tomorrow. | Add Comment |

| I was VERY happy with this run. I got out at about 9:15, which was later than I wanted to, but I really needed the rest. Anyway, I did a 9.5 mile loop twice. The first time around I started really slow, my first mile being about 7:40. I was stiff and tight from the race, but I knew that would go away a few miles into the run. To make a long run short, I ended up running 6:54/mile, and that is easily the fastest I have done this year for a long run like this. My best before this was a sixteen mile run at 7:00/mile, so I was really happy about this. I felt really good the entire run until mile 15 or 16, and then the last few miles were a little harder, but honestly I probably could have run farther than I did. The run made me super optimistic where I am in my training right now. My overall mileage this week is nothing impressive because of the race, but starting next week I can do my normal workouts up until the race in August, so I'm glad for that. Based off today's run, I feel very confident that I'll be able to easily break three hours in Pocatello, assuming I don't get injured and that I feel good the day of the race. I'm excited about where I am in my fitness right now. | Add Comment |
