| Nice and easy recovery jog. I should call this "Death Monday" or the Monday after a long run. I learned my lesson last week and so I wasn't expecting much out of my legs. There are some lingering pains (shin splints, knee problems, and two hurting big toes) that I want to have all fixed up by the time the marathon rolls around. These are going to be two fun weeks. Speaking of my big toes, they actually look bruised where they connect to my foot. I'm afraid that probably isn't a very good sign. There is some ice in our little mini-fridge (it better have frozen overnight) that I'm going to use on it. Hopefully that will fix the problem. However, it might be due to my new shoes. I could have gone up a half size for my new shoes, but in the store, I felt that extra space would hurt rather than help. There is just under a full thumb of space between my big toe and the end of the shoe, but I'm still having problems with it. I'll just have to wait and see. Can't throw away a $100 investment.

Ten mile run today. I ran the standard circle around campus, but instead of turning at University Parkway, I continued up to the MTC and to the top of Timp View Drive. I tempoed for 3.5 miles on Timp View averaging about 6:30-6:45 per mile. I haven't really incorporated many quality speed workouts in my training, which was a mistake. Someday I'll figure this out.

Short recovery run. I was feeling more tired than usual today, and just wandered around the suburbs east of campus. 8:23 min/mile pace which is fine for today. I had to run a mile around the track at my "regular" pace for one of my classes. Yeah. I got bored and sped up to a bit faster pace for my second lap. Came in around 7:12 with 6.66 miles. Jogged back to my dorm and ended with 6.81 DS Trainer 13 - 56.86 | | Comments(1) |

| I completely forgot what I had planned on doing today, if I even planned it out. So I decided to run 7-8 miles with 2 marathon pace miles and 1 regular pace. It worked out very well. I was able to maintain the pace, and the hardest part was finding how fast 7:17 min/mile is. I didn't get the splits for each mile, but my average mile paces for each 2 mile increment are 7:22 and 7:26. I was rested for a half mile after, but got down around LES and there was a huge group of people, so I unconsciously sped up. That is either going to make my marathon amazing or kill me.

| Wow. That sucked. I have no idea what happened, but I died after mile 7 today. Today was supposed to be my last long run over 10 miles, but I only got about 9.5, and 1.5 of that was walking. I mean, I went out fast to see how my body would handle it during the marathon, but it's not like I was running sub-7:00. Body's just tired I guess. First three miles - 7:30 min/mile. Tried to have a rest mile (8:18) and then speed up again for two more miles but just couldn't. Maintained about 8:32 the rest of the way (except for an extended walking period). This cannot happen during the marathon. I have to rest next week and get my body at 100%
