8 easy miles this morning.

8 miles today.  2 miles of speed.  Nothing too outstanding, but I'm  trying to rest a little with Logan next week. 

Hit the weights, push and sit ups, heavy bag.  I may have worked the arms a little too hard between the weights, push ups and this weeks wake boarding. 

Finally perfected the switch on the wake board yesterday. 

Left hip a little sore for the last couple of days.  I don't think it's anything to worry about. 

8 easy miles.  Sore most of the run.  I'll be alright.  Still a little tired. 

8 miles this morning.

5 easy miles, followed by 3 miles @ tempo.  Tried really hard not to push the pace too much.  Ended up running in a pretty good head wind at a relaxed easy pace of 6:07 average per mile pace for three  miles. 

No more speed or tempo for me until race day.  It's all about rest, not eating too much and recovery from here on out. 

My bodies used to running much more a day right now, so it thinks it should be able to eat the same amount on half the work.  This is probably the hardest thing for me.

About mid week next week, I'll start packing on the carbs, but not too soon. 

4 easy miles.  Decided to take it a little easier then planned today. 

10 easy miles this morning.  Just a few more days of easy running, and here come Logan!!!!!

I've really worked my butt off this training season.  I hope all those long miles pay off.  If not, there is no way I'm running 15 miles a day again. 

Run, work, sleep is all I've had time or energy for the last 6 months or so.  It's going to be nice to get a break.
