Personal:

I'm a former rower, looking at getting into some other form of competition after "retirement" from my pastime of the previous four years. I'm dedicated, but a little held back by my formerly 215lb 6'7" frame.

Ahhh, this was a perfect run. 8:02 split the whole time, and I felt like I could race a marathon after I finished. Tremendous, tremendous step in adding mileage... just need to remind myself to keep mileage gains gradual.

Another long run. Went well, though I got a little sore towards the end. I'm going to cut back on the spin classes... they kill my legs on runs. Ankle feeling better though. Total aerobic piece, maybe went a little fast, but pretty good.

Did 50 minutes on the dreadmill; going to try running more there until my ankle sets itself a little better. Said 6.4 when I finished, but I didn't do any incline, indoor adjustment, so I'll subtract a little. Gotten leaps and bounds better alright, and I was in great spirits at the end of the run, which is shocking considering I hate the treadmill. Definitely need to take in more fluid though, I lost an extra 2.5 pounds of water, despite having two water bottles with me (normally don't drink on shorter than 8.5). 

 Think I'm going to do basic lake 5.75 tomorrow, and a 9 on Saturday, depending on how everything feels. Shocking to me that the foot inserts I got work... so far.

Ankle knack is apparently tendonitis... not major, but it was nagging and not getting any better. Figured I probably should rest it for a couple of days well in advance of the half marathon. Did spin and erging and lifting instead... solid couple hours of workout. Watched the UW Huskies in the PM at Teddy's, great game against Stanford!
