Easy 6 along Wasatch. Legs feeling better after the failed 20 miler on Sat. Had a 102 degree fever and didn't realize it. Bad way to train.

Ran on Wasatch with Mike. Began with 3 miles warm up then 15 x 1:00 surges with equal recovery. Cooled down 1 mile. I focused on stretching after the workout as I have found that I am very prone to calf tears when my training is speed focused.

Ran on treadmill. Started out with 2 miles at 6:38 pace. Felt good. Ran 2 miles at 5:27 pace, felt better. Cooled down with 2 miles at 6:38 pace.

My legs are ready for Houston, my mind still needs convincing.

Ran on treadmill. Started out with 2 miles at 6:38 to warm up. Ran 6 2 minute surges at 5:00 pace with 2:00 recovery at 6:38. Cooled down 2 miles at 6:38 pace.

My legs are ready to run 26.2 at 5:20 pace, but I haven't run a marathon in so long that I have forgotten all about the suffering over the last 6.2 miles. The last doubt/fear still lingering in my mind is can I take the pain to reach my goal or will fatigue make a coward of me?

Ran an easy 10 along Wasatch with Mike. The snow, ice and freezing headwind made it a tough wiorkout.
