26.7 miles in La this morning. Nice day and did a long run along the LA basin channel, dirt trail almost the entire way.
3.6 miles tonight along Mission Bay, San Diego. Another pretty night, but man are my legs dead! I did hit my goal of 100 this week and the first solid week of quality training. |

Lunch at Roosters with family today, the best cheeseburger on the planet. I would have done nothing today but Rob called me up this week and asked if I'd get a long run in with him of 24 miles or so.
What a cool run, and great company. I don't get the chance to run a lot with someone else so I love a change of pace. I could feel that burger the whole way though and Rob is obviously in better shape right now than I am, so I felt it!
And then Rob's wife made us steak for dinner. Can life get much better? :)
I got back to the house with the kids and still needed that mileage so I hit a really slow 4 miler at 11pm. |

| 15 miles on the treadmill at the gym since it was raining so hard today. 12 miles at 7 min pace and the last 4 as fast as I could at 11 miles an hour. I needed this run, but that is absolutely the limit indoors.. |

Went out for a run in between flights in Denver and it was too cold for what I had in my suitcase, that and no motivation. Turned back and sat on my butt in the plane eating chocolate chip cookies. Not a bad trade..
Went out after getting into Tucson for 10 miles in the desert.
No time this week to train, way behind schedule. |

After a long day starting out in New York with a broken airplane about 3am, I ended up in Salt Lake City and met up with Rob for a long run. We headed up Emigration Canyon with light snow flurries. I was worried about the weather since I havn't done much cold weather running and the warm front was sitting right over the range. It turned out to be about perfect and a great run. I can't believe how much quicker a long run goes when you have some company. The cold hit my hands pretty hard. I couldn't feel my fingers at all after 11 miles. I could feel the altitude as well, just seemed like it was shorter breathes than I was used to. According to the Garmin around 7:30 average pace, which felt about right.
I took in one Power Bar drink at about mile 10 with Rob and that was it for food intake on the run, consistent with what I have been trying this year, plenty of water but limited calorie intake on the long runs. |

Way early into the gym this morning since I was still on East Coast time. I ran 5 miles way easy on the treadmill to help the legs get over yesterdays long run. Then weight lifted for the first time in several weeks for 45 minutes.
I had a few hours after lunch after finally doing some Christmas shopping, so I ran another 10 outside. One hour and 10 min. |

Speed workout today on the treadmill. 2 mile warmup, 1 mile repeats at 5:30 pace with .5 rest in between, 2 mile cooldown.
This workout kicked my butt! Nothing left.. |

13.3 miles late morning through the Bend river trail up to first dam and along Logan River trail. I had no motivation to run at all today, I knew I had to basically run a half marathon to reach my goal. The kids were having so much fun and there was so much to do with them, but I knew this was my last chance to try and get a 100 mile week. I also knew it would be a hard run since the day before was a 15 miler. Surprisingly, I was strong and had to hold back to stay on goal at a 7 minute pace.
I need that 1:12 for the second time running the Austin Half Marathon in four weeks and so I'm taking stock today of where I stand this year.
1. I am slower than last spring when I was doing faster Tempo runs. I have been doing more long recovery runs for a few months. Any way to get that speed? Quick?
2. I am stronger, no injuries at all. The long slow distance has done the job in that regard. I just completed two 100 mile weeks and have no soreness at all. That's a good sign.
3. I am 6 lbs overweight at 156. That's not good, but it would take liposuction this year to get off those last 6. How the hell do you run 100 miles a week and not trim up? On the flip side, that's free speed if I lose it by January 30.
4. Now to find the time to get started on training. I need four 10 mile runs at very close to race pace. I need 4 track workouts around 10 mile distance with repeats at 10 seconds faster than race pace. I need 3 long runs. I need three 12 mile Fartlek runs. The rest is fluff. I'll probably get about 60% of this done. But it's a goal at least.. |

Tempo run today. I needed to get an idea of baseline to start some work on speed training. Too much snow outside to run fast so I had to stay on the treadmill. Pretty happy since this is the fastest I have run on a training run in 6 months. I just started it up and kept at it. No warmup..Probably suffer later for it.
10 miles at 10.5 miles per hour. 5:45 pace

| Real happy to get this run in. I have had this on my schedule for several weeks, but no time to get it in. I needed an endurance baseline. Last run of the year and the longest one, I think! I aimed for 20, but at the 10 mile turn around felt great so I kept going. I was worried about the pace, especially since it was on my mind how long it took me when I was starting marathoning to hit the 3 hour marathon, the 7 min pace. It was a neat experience today to run through the 26.2 mark at just under 3 hours and feel great. I slowed up after that 15 seconds a mile for the rest. Two Mt. Dews on the run and a package of peanut butter crackers. |
