| AM - 3 miles easy before work.
PM - 8 more on the treadmill at lunch - moderate aerobic effort.
Finally got my lab results regarding ferritin back (test was 2 weeks ago). After over a year of taking iron supplements - my ferritin is only 32 ng/mL (and was 23 ng/mL)in November 2012). Was expecting a significant increase after such a consistent supplementation. Hmm...32 is ok, and I am glad it is higher than before, but from what I have read about endurance athletes, that number is still on the low side. I take an average of 72 mg of elemental iron spread out from morning to evening each day. Guess that's just too low of a dosage or I am just not absorbing as much as I thought I would.

| PM - lunchtime workout. 5 x mile @ HM pace with .25 rest after a 1.5 mile warm up and same distance for cool down. First real workout in a month (unless you count the tempo runs I have been doing on Fridays). AP was 6:35. Seeing some progress with my fitness and with my weight after the last month of aerobic-building. Will be curious to see if my recovery is in keeping with that same progress.

| PM - had a really nice 20 miler today. Left my house and did a loop north to Tarpon and then headed down the Pinellas Trail to downtown Clearwater - then crossed the bridge to the beach and met my wife and daughter and my daughters boyfriend for dinner at sunset at the Palm Pavilion. Awesome weather - really crowded with spring breakers in town.

PM - surprisingly good workout. 2×2 miles @ HM pace with a 600 rest. 2 mile warm up and a short cool down. I had planned 3×2 miles but I had to squeeze this workout in before a dinner meeting that was scheduled at the last minute. I have not been feeling all that strong over the last few weeks. Or at least that's how it seems. But this workout renewed my spirit a bit - that all is not lost. Had I had sufficient time I could've easily executed on the third rep as planned.

| AM - short run before church and work again today. Way too much going on and stress. Basically a lost weekend of training. The good news is that the two light running days resulted in a very strong feeling when I was running this morning.

| AM - 7 miles this morning. Was scheduled for an early flight this morning, but after I got up and hit the shower, I got a message that my flight was delayed for 3 hours - so I went out for a run on a humid and very windy morning.
PM - 5 miles after work in ATL. Chilly and rainy but an enjoyable run nonetheless.

| PM - fairly good workout this evening after work. 2 mile warm up then 8 x 800 with a 400 rest with a 2 mile cool down. Avg pace for the halves was 2:53. None of the reps felt as though I was on the limit - and so I would rate this as a pretty good sign that my fitness is decent at this point. Oddly though, I cannot say I have felt "good" for a run from start to finish in quite some time. It is a strange thing. I am running fairly well in workouts but I just don't have the overall sense of feeling strong and confident on a day to day basis.

PM - good workout. Actually the best workout I have had in this training period. 2 mile warm-up then 3 x 2 miles at HM with an 800 rest followed by a 1 mile cool down. Solid effort - very controlled and with an avg pace of 6:30 per mile. Very pleased with this.

| AM - 4 miles easy before work in FL. Left hip is beginning to bother me a bit - gradually becoming more noticable over the last few days. May take some time off if it continues to escalate.

| PM - concerned about the achiness in the left hip, I nixed the second run yesterday and decided to run late today to give it some more rest. Did an easy 10 late in the afternoon after a rainy day. Seemed to have helped a good bit with the additional rest.

| PM - 10 miles moderate to MP. Last 5 miles were at MP - definitely have something going on with the left hip - so trying to keep workouts reasonable from now until the race.

| PM - really long day. Up at 4:30, travel to ATL, meetings all day then straight into a work dinner; got into my hotel at 9:30 pm, basically just went out for 4 miles just to avoid a zero.
