Ran the neighborhood of little hills with Mark P. Had a very nice, easy warm up. Just under 10 min. mile. This was perfect as I feared my calf would start hurting again. Ran 5 miles under 8 minutes with one just under 7. No church hill strides today. Wanted to make sure I finished without pain. The last half mile I started to feel my right calf tightening up. Back home to ice and drink my Tart Cherry to help ease any inflamation.

Great day to start the week.

Sick and tired. Some kind of upper respiratory thing. Decided to get more rest and try again tomorrow.

Tempo run this morning. Kind of wondering what today would be like after skipping yesterday and still being sick. I had a very gradual warm up mile and hit the gas.

Tempo splits were:

  1. 7:11
  2. 6:53
  3. 6:56
  4. 7:04
  5. 7:06
  6. 7:10

I thought my first three were all under 7 but I guess an overall average of 7:03 for 6 miles is still a big improvement my last tempo of 7:11 for 5 miles.

Good day.

Recovery run from yesterday's speed work. Slept in this morning to catch up on rest. Ran this afternoon and it was brutal. The heat index was up around 97 but the actual temp was 91. I took it out easy, picked up in the middle and at the very end. Did two, 100 yd barefoot strides at the end.

Ran with Jorge, Victoria, Keith, Eudair, David J, from Longleaf. Ran 5 miles in the middle of the run between 7:34 and 7:55. Too fast for me in the middle of a long run. I paid the price late in the run and struggled to stay between 8:15 and 8:25 for the last four miles. I really just wanted to walk. I do not want to finish like that again. I've got to stay more disciplined early in the run and pull the trigger later. That is the only way I will survive a BQ attempt this fall.
