I've been running for about 6 years, have completed 14 marathons and recently qualified for the Boston Marathon with a time of 3:34! This was a 23 minute PR for me! After years of running very high mileage at pretty slow paces, I decided to get serious and joined Gilbert's Gazelles training group. The BQ came 8 months later. Hoping this blog will help add some further insight and organization to my running. :) Favorite Blogs: |

10.5 mile recovery run with my friend Lisa. Ran from home, down 6th Street towards downtown and up Duval to 51st St. Turn around and come back. Weather was perfect. About 9:00 min pace. Felt good despite running 16 yesterday.

Meriden hill work out this morning: 5 x 1000 (hilly) Haven't done this one with the group before, so I did not what I was in for :) Parked at the RunTex on Lake Austin without realizing it gives you only a mile warm up. I usually need 2-3 miles to get going. Went okay despite this. Went with a faster group today that I haven't run with before and it was awesome! It felt good to get the push. 1 mile warm up 1. 4:57 (7:51 pace) - start down 11th St 2. 4:56 (7:53 pace) - start down 11th St 3. 4:58 (7:56 pace) - start down Meriden 4. 4:57 (7:50 pace) - start down Meriden 5. 4:57 (7:50 pace) - start down 11th St + 5 miles on the trail (in true Dasha style - they are very consistent..whatever that means) Added 5 miles on the trail to get the miles up for the week. Felt good on the cool down and finished with an 8:20 mile :)

| Went to group today to do the 8 mile fartlek workout with the plan to add on a few miles after. I am trying to run with a group that is a bit faster than the one I trained with last time around, and they were doing this work out today. 2 mile warm up 3X3 min on/1 off 3X2 min on/1 off 5X1 min on/1 off 2 mile cool down Fartlek miles: 7:40, 7:45, 7:54, 8:13 Since I can be nutty sometimes...I did another 5X1 min on/1 off during my additional 3 miles that I did post work out. :) 11 miles at 8:43 average. |

I wasn't very excited to do 18 miles so close to finishing a marathon, but it happened. Back to friday evenings filled with anxiety and trying to find yet another carb to eat.... Austin Marathon course, lots of hills, and a nice downhill finish. The last three weeks of hill work outs seem to be working because I felt a lot stronger on the hills today. Didn't do any MGP miles today because of 3M Half next weekend, but after that I will bring 4-6 miles at MGP back into my long runs. Still sped up a bit on the last 4 miles. Splits: 9:09, 8:43, 8:46, 8:42, 8:51, 8:44, 9:01, 8:50, 8:57, 8:46, 8:46, 8:57, 8:44, 8:24, 8:10, 8:14, 8:15, 8:53 (easy cool down add on mile into the wind!) 67 mile week in the books, and it all starts again tomorrow.....
