AM: (14 miles, 1:59:46). 28:51wu/29:47cd. I was supposed to run 5-8 miles at MP (which, if all goes well should be about 7:37 pace). Well, last night I learned that the reason my ear has hurt so badly (it has woken me up 3-4 nights now) is because of a sinus infection. In all likelihood I have had this for a month or so now (since before the 1/2 marathon). I am on antibiotics and already (after a nights and full days worth) feel so so so much better! Who knew? Anyway, I told myself to run these miles at about 7:40 pace, it would be close enough to get the correct stimulus without putting too much stress on my body. Well, I just couldn't find the pace -- I am hoping that my future MP runs will be after I really tire myself out (run 12 and THEN run 8 at MP) ... because otherwise, I seem to just run them too fast: 7:38, 7:36, 7:31, 7:34, 7:30, 7:26, 7:33, 7:20. Regardless, it felt so good ... even the long 3 miles uphill home was easy ;-). PM: easy 4. I hope you are all doing well bloggers!! My non-running time at night -- Dean and I are 1 for 2 in Euchre against his Mom and son, Sam.
