Met Mark P at the Y. Averaged 8:32 pace but felt terrible. What a crappy run for me. I was fading toward the end so I had to focus on form and stay focused to keep running.

| Ran with the group from Long Leaf. Ran with Diane most of the way. We ran a total time of 46:58. This was cooking for me. I did some strides afterward... |

Ran out with Eudair, Diane, Katie, Mark, Dan, David, Andrea.... Ran a few miles in the 7:40 range early. Took water stops on the trail, hammer gel at 4.25 miles. Hit a wall at 11 miles. Had to walk almost a mile before I could run again. It just got really hot and I had nothing left.
Hey, I still completed 13 miles, even if I had a Galloway moment! I got dropped at 11.5, walked a ways, ran the last mile with Katie who dropped me at 11 and then got dropped around 12. We agreed it was hot and we should have started earlier and slower.

Ran close to home on the S. T.W loop. Ran 40 minutes. Legs were still really sore and sluggish from Saturday's 13 miler. I don't think I'm ready for that milage yet in this heat.
Ran in my GTS-7's. They have way too many miles on them and I felt like I was running on card board. I need one more pair of new shoes...

Couldn't make it to the Y by 6:30 PM to meet the ladies (I'm a guy who has the privilege of running with some "fast" women). Had to hoof it myself. Did 5 minutes warm up pace and 30 minutes at 7:50 to 7:55 pace. Heart rate in the upper 170's.
Felt just right. Not too hard in the heat but enough to keep me on task and focused. I felt really sore and tired yesterday so it felt good to stretch my legs a little and run harder than the previous day.
Temp. 86 degrees. |

Did Long Leaf run with Striders. Ran warm up mile at 8:30 and then stayed between 7:40 & 7:50 the rest of the run. Fastes was down around 7:20. Felt GREAT!!! Temp and humidity were low so that made a huge difference.
Ran with Keith most of the time and he kept me at pace, otherwise I would probably have gone out too fast.

Ran the Dunedin Casuseway (x2) for 10 and then out & back on the Pinellas Trail for 3. Ran with Keith, Jenny, Tom T., and Mary. Felt much better than last week's 13 mile suffer fest when I just crashed at 11 mile. Today, I felt fresh most of the run and when I did feel tender in my lower abs late in the run, I still felt I could do another couple of miles.
Time: 5:30 AM (much better than 6:30 last week!)

Terrible night's sleep. I got to bed around 11 and woke up around 3:30. I decided to run tonight instead. Got home from work (stressfull day!!) at about 8:30 pm and decided I needed to run anyway. Did 4 miles in 33:44. It felt comfortable mostly but I still found myself breathing heavily at times.I want to get to where my easy runs are 8:15 to 8:20 so that my aerobic work is closer to marathon pace (if that's reasonable...). Felt good no matter what. There was a beautiful sky tonight that kind of put the whole day in proper persepective. I felt like the sky and moon and stars were so far above my problems I could kind of escape with them even if just for a few minutes. It was a great way to end the day.

Ran with Jan & Jen at Chestnut park. Did about a mile warm up and then faster than we agreed... of course Jan blamed me and I blamed her but in the end it was a great run. The temp was a very comfortable 85. I guess the humidity was down. My heartrate was at 150 mid run and 162 at the end. I felt much better tonight than two weeks ago when I first ran the Tuesday night run with the ladies.
I feel like my running more days and gradually building base is paying off. I've still got a long way to go but this is a good start. |

Ran Long Leaf this morning with about 25 Striders. Great turnout. It was humid and smokey. I believe they are doing controlled burns in the preserve.
Keith, Diane and I ran together. First mile was close to 8 min pace. 2nd was under 7:45. We turned around and tried to run Keith down. It was not for me to catch him although we did some sub 7 min paces. It got hot in a hurry and once againg I just went out too fast.

Ran Starkey with Keith, Derek, Victoria, and Keisha. Left parking lot at 6:05 am. Solid run, focused on trying to stay slow (8:20-8:35). Didn't do such a great job as we kept dipping down toward 8:00. Finished strong.

Ran with Molly. We did 4.2 miles in 43:15. She had to walk a half mile or so. She definately has a faster pace but not much stamina at this point. Tonight was still a good run for her and a relaxing run for me.

| Ran the beach bridges with Mark P and a guy named Greg we met on the way. Ran at 6:05 am and it was a gorgeous morning. Awesome moon, Mark saw a shooting star, and we had a nice breeze for the Gulf side of the run. The three bridge ascents took their toll on me later in the run but I still finished with a 8:30 average pace. Not a stellar finish but hey, this is my first hill work of any kind in over a year. I'll take it! Time: 6:05 am Total Time: ?? Temp: 75 degrees
