10 easy 10 marathon pace... dad on bike...

I was soooo banged up and sore when I woke up I decided to see how I felt. When I woke up I had a huge goose egg on my left knee. I felt great until about 17 miles, then my hip flexors were just screaming at me. I'm sure it's from the way I fell, sliding with my knees bent. But I made it through the whole thing, and was able to maintain a fairly good clip, concidering.

When we got home we heard, "you guys did what? Annie you are crazy!" "you ran how far?" "hahaha... funny... You're serious? Oh my god what's wrong with you!" I had to miss out on the drinking games last night with my sister and girl cousins... oh darn.

I don't know what it was but I felt awful! I felt like tank @## annie, fat and winded. Since I"m not fat, or out of shape I don't know what was wrong with me. It was an Ozone day, that could be it. All I know is that tomorrow is a new day and I'm glad it wasn't 10/13!

Casey saw the last 300 and when I was done he gave me a "knowing" smile and said, "not feeling good today huh" that sure helped the ego... I was hoping that at least I could fake it.

7.6 m @ half marathon effort 46:55 (6:10pm)

I felt very tired and dead but better than tuesday or wednesday. This is just that section of training where I don't feel 100% or blythe. Mentally I did very well at staying engaged throughout the entire workout. steady rain for the whole run. It was pleasant to have the company, even if it did weigh down my shoes a bit. I just wear trainers for these runs.... a little heavy in the rain! Still I'll take that over snow, cold, or intense heat!

It has occured to me that I know longer know effort is what anymore. My training keeps evolving and my senses are having a hard time keeping up. Like sunday, I had intended on running "easy", due to generally feeling over stretched, So when I got home 8 minutes earlier than scheduled I freaked out and thought I hadn't run far enough... nope. So I say moderate... but I'm not sure if it was or not. My perceptions are skewed right now. I should race or something to find out.

Still dead.
I was thinking, a dangerous pasttime I know. Will I live in Rochester Hills long enough for Brian Sell to be my dentist? Really brian, what's your timeline on that? Because I'll probably need partial dentures and cooper will need braces. You could nickname me "Moneybags Gasway".

felt okay. a little more alive than the rest of this week, but still lethargic and mostly dead. it was beautiful morning...Ran 4 alone (27:48) before the club run. Ran the club run with JS (43:03) which was a nice treat! We were sub 7 for our 6.25... and I didn't feel like I'd fall apart...there is a light at the end of this tunnel! a little nervous about next weeks simulator. HOpefully I'll be mostly alive by then. Lord knows I could use the confidence going into chicago!
