| Home! From Sunny warm flat land to 25º WC, heavy snow flurries in a 25 mph wind with hills. Loving it. Reading Born to Run and had a great vacation. Tom is a great guy to run with and will even narrate the surroundings like Morgan Freeman.
The vacation did me good as I had a decent run and just went out to have fun. Depsite the non favorable conditions I had about 4 MP miles including a 7:12 into the wind without it seeming like I was pushing it. That made me smile.

Not many people on the bike path today at all. Only 3 runners and a few dog walkers. No bikers, but that is to be expected.
10 Miles. 4 steady and then 11x30s striders. The first few were steady and then I let it loose best I could. (over a 1/10th of a mile in 30s). Active recoveries and then the last few full miles at 7:24.

| It's certainly springtime in Ohio. Yes every state has the joke about if you don't like the weather wait 15 minutes it'll change. However, running in 73º to running in 39º with a cold wind in just 2 days just seems.... off....
My legs were tired and not ready for any real speed work so I went with what the would give me. 3 Mile WU and then 6 miles between HMP & MP. After that some slow miles and then finished with and HMP mile. Got in, had some pork and washed it down with a banana/date/berry/chia smoothie. Off to church for a mortgage burning celebration.

| Crisp 30º this morning, but there was little to no wind for a change and that was welcome. I was rushing this morning since were flying down to see dad today. No breakfast, no fuel, no water, but it was only 12 so shouldn't be a big deal 6x1 mile... 5x1 mile repeats. 2 Mile WU and the hot the repeats. The 1st 2 @ 6:50's then 7's , but once I hit the 4th repeat it was like someone put lead in my legs. the 5th repeat was just embarrassingly slow so I left it at that and did not pursue the 6th repeat just to dog it. I am not sure if I just did not have it or lack of any fuel or just the busy week I had. Oh well no worries, got my run in before it gets too crazy and will do some miles in FL.

| AM- 64º --> 72º I didn't feel much like running today, and that's why I did it. I got up well enough early this morning. Got my fuel belt ready walked out the door and a wasp stung me on the hand at 6 this morning. Thanks. Not sure what his problem was. Hit the bike bath, cloudy and rainy for the first 5 miles - this despite a 0% chance of rain.
12 Mile WU and then 5 miles at MP or better (tougher than I expected after 12 WU). Those five were clear skies and sun beating down on me naturally. Sounds dramatic, but hey, you never know when someone might make a movie out of this training run. At mile 14 I found a pocket knife -tossed it my belt for my kid. She likes knives. at mile 16 I noticed some vultures eating some dead carcass. A bit gross but I ran on. It made me wonder if I was next. Were they circling? That made me think of Flatlander. What ever happened to that guy? He was so consistent at running then like so many on the blog just stopped posting last year. Hope hes well. Wrapped up at 17 as I had to get to work.

Some lightning and thunder around miles 2-4 but it passed quickly. 9 Toads, 1 frog, 1 bull frog, 1 turtle and 1 chimpmunk and 14.5 soft rolling trail hills. My work is complete.

| More good running temps. 51º, but it was VERY windy. Started the day with our church marching in a parade for the Sugar Maple Festival. Then home to run. Did the classic. 10 Mile Warm Up followed by 6x3 Minute intervals with 2 minute active recoveries in between. These always kill my legs. .46 (6:32), .46 (6:32), .45 (6:39), .45 (6:42), .43 (6:58-some up hill) & .42 (7:05 - tired). Then some cool down miles then ended the last half pretty quick. .... Then off to my daughters big performance. The theater group she is in does it up big time. Singing in the Rain. They practice from August until now. She is 16 and the cast is over 30 people let alone stage hands, etc etc - but they put in college level quality programs. Next two are next Fri & Sat... I am beat.

Rolling hills @ cloud park with some sharp inclines made this a decent workout. 3 Mile WU and then the repeats. Set out for 6, but the hills and effort wore me down that the 6th one would have been too poor an effort. Off to work, busy day.

| I wanted to do 20 early Saturday, but woke up to flash floods and lightening storms from 4am-10am. No run. wedding at 11:30 then to Aly's last performance. Great day, just no run. Home about 9 pm so I moved my long run to Sunday between church services with no time to spare. Side effect was I had to do some heat training. Afternoon run, 81º and moderate humidity. Steady wind for some resistance too. All seemed to start fine and I did not push anything early. No need to crash and burn on a hot and sunny day. Ran 10 out and threw in a few half marathon pace miles. I did not bring fuel, but had plenty of water, chia fresca and emergen-c. Around mile 16 the heat just hit me all at once. Needed to stop multiple times for drinks and slowed down the pace down to high 9's. Miserable last 2 miles as I stopped at 19. Looks like I need more heat training. Glad to get the miles in, but I felt sick for about an hour and a half after.

All the rain this week left many of the bike path sections flooded so it was creative running for many streches today and quite a few loops to get the long run in. A few deer joined me which was better than the skunk Friday. 5 Mile WU and then 10 Mile at SBQMP (7:37-7:23 for all ten) and then 5 Mile cool down.

Tie Dye 50k (31 Miles) 06:38:56, Place overall: 29 | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 18.10 | 16.00 | 34.10 |
| My first 50K - Kinda decided two weeks ago I would try it. My experience was overall good. My time and place are a bit deceiving, but more on that later.
We dodged a bullet as it has been hot and humid all week. We had some storms that drastically cooled it off and ended up 10 degrees lower than forecast. Good news. The flip side was the rain flooded the trails in at least 6 spots. And I mean up to my shorts deep in spots. Add in how hilly this thing was and then the uphill became so muddy. I fell twice and hit pretty hard. Luckily not where rocks were.
Unexpected- I did not expect there to be hills I had to walk. Not in my nature. Also limestone so slick that even a few downhill spots had to be walked. Crazy trails. I also did not expect when I broke away from the middle back and wanted to catch the lead pack that I would miss markers and get lost. This cost me almost 3 miles exactly. If I take out that I end up under 6 hours and finish about 15th-19th. Still my 29th I will be satisfied with since its my first 50k and there were about 120 runners. I will see if I can share some pics soon.

I also walked over 40 miles for the week (did not log these, that would be silly), and my legs are thanking me for not pushing while on vacation so we could enjoy Universal.

| New week. Last week was rough. Ended up with Bronchitis and a Sinus Infection. Took off 4 days running and forced a few runs in thinking I could power through. I was wrong. I am not sure how I am getting sick, but it happened. Antibiotics are starting to work and I ran without massive coughing today so I will take that as a perk. Afternoon run 85º hot. A few fast miles to see if my breathing could handle it and I was OK. Not great, but OK. Hopefully I can get back to logging some serious miles and be ready for the fall race schedule.

| Finally back home after a incredible history trip. I lead my youth group every year on a week+ long trip on the Christian foundations of our country. This year was Virgina with stops at Mount Vernon, Monticello, St Johns Church, Yorktown and Williamsburg. Weather was brtually hot with 90's all week and 99 Thursday and 100 Friday. I ran very little, but got out when I could.
Home and back to work. AM and refreshing 66º 8+miles, time to get consistent.

| AM- Nice cool 62º which was welcome relief even with the 98% humdity. Legs were just out of sync and I was rushing so I would not be late to VBS. I am mentally struggling with my running. Not getting the miles in I need and no real speedwork at all. I have to get my mind right. I have plenty of excuses with travel and work, but I can get up earlier and make it happen.

| AM- 69º and Sunny/Humid. Just running some base miles on some decent rolling hills. Although at 2 points my competitve side takes over. at mile 3 I could see a guy way in the distance. It looked like he was doing the same pace and I dont think I sped up. I mean I wasnt feeling it, I just wanted to get miles. By 3.5 he was clearly closer. Passed at 4. It wasnt even a he, but a she. Then I realized I did speed up and promptly slowed back down. Same thing at mile 13. I am not sure why I even felt the need to pass someone, but did.
Anway post run eggs I made were on point.

Easy miles w/13x20s striders in to try an loosen the legs up. My daughter did her theater tryouts today. Singing and her monologue. She did the bit from the Princess Bride and where is the poison. Nailed it. I was pretty proud.

| AM- 70º/99% and just kinda gross. It is mornings like these that I am not sure how anyone could believe scientist who preach global warming, global cooling, or the Earth will be like ___ in 100 years. Hear me out... I went to bed last night around 10:30 and the forecast was 64 with rain from 6am-11am, possible thunderstorm. OK not to bad for an August long run. I wake up around 5:30. It is already 68 and climbing. Hmmm. I noticed it started to rain while I was making my coffee and it stopped 2 minutes later. I get ready to run and check the weather. 70, and rain is all cancelled. The silver lining is it would overcast until about 2pm and then mostly cloudy. No visor. 7 miles into my run and it is ALL SUNSHINE. It got partly cloudy around mile 16 but still... you can't get the weather right an hour ahead of time and you want to tell me the weather on the Earth will be 50 years from now? Hogwash.
Anyway, took it nice and easy. Was going for something between 18-20 and I just did not want to sweat more for 20.

| AM- 60º Cooler mornings arrived just in time. Ran 'the classic' today. 10 mile warm up follow by 6x3 min intervals w/ 2 min active recoveries. It has been awhile since I ran these and I could feel it. Heading to a busy day at work and my legs are already letting me know they hate me. I am not sure the occasion, but instead of the normal one or two old people out walking their dogs, I must have seen 8-10. I thought about grabbing one, but they probably would have shown me up during the run.

| AM- I think Tom is right, cooler weather is just pure motivation. Still building my base. 20 Miles - I ran every 5th mile fast. So mile 5 7:24 Mile 10 7:14 Mile 15 7:03 Mile 20 6:56 Everything in between just steady running. Ran from Fishburg, to Kittyhawk golf course, to Island park, to Riverscape and back. They have better bathrooms at Island and a splash park. I am almost always to early to hit the splash park and cool off. However the sign is... odd? funny? 1st rule is do not use if you have diarrhea
AF marathon (I am not running that one this year) is in 3 weeks. LOTS of crammers out today. You can just tell those who are fine tuning and those out there just hanging on for dear life and they just realized what they signed up for. Also passed some rowing teams in the river.

Quick day of work then heading out on a vaca through labor day. Need some time away from work. I need a step back week before the weeks of doubles begin running wise.

| Orlando running. About 4 miles in from the sidewalk crossing a drive... Well I got hit by a car. How does this happen? She had to cross 3 lanes and then she kept coming. I realized she was going to hit me, I tried to speed up and she clipped the back on my leg and was lifted in the air and braced my fall with my left arm. Legs are fine, but they are x-raying my arm. Ugh. We'll see |

| Back home. The x-rays were all negative and by the grace of God I did not break any bones. I have multiple bone bruises, a bone chip and sprains (the left wrist being the worst). Doc said 4-6 weeks until I feel normal. I was able to tie my own shoes today and guess what? My legs are fine so I went for a run. A little Vitiamin I and 8.25 easy. I have some ground to make up.
Oh otherwise vaca was great and had a good time!
PM- about 4 miles easy.

| 66º very humid and sunny. I have been spoiled over the past week with low or sub 60º temps. The AF marathon is today so elsewhere around here was very quiet. A few runners and strollers out, but most of the people are down at the base. My wrist is sore and I am glad I get it looked at again soon. Overall OK run for tired legs. I did not have much spark today and I did not feel like running to be honest, which is why I made sure I did. 3 Miles warm up and 10 miles at MP and the rest cool down. Paces were average, but it was an effort run so I will take it.

Good news, after a follow up visit I won't need a pin or surgery on my wrist. I will deal with pain another 6 weeks, but should be OK. Very thankful.

Got some encouragement by some walkers and that was nice. Ran from Rip Rap to Triangle to Island to Riverscape in down town Dayton along the river. Under the one bike bath bridge was a guy with a guitar, amp and a groupie. The acoustics were cool, but I would have like something a bit more peppy. 20 miles, 13 at MP. Felt good at the end.

These are always tough to pull after after 10 miles, but I hit my goal times all 6 of the intervals.. If I had to describe how I feel after in one word... J-E-L-L-O

20 Miles. Underpass to county line to Kyle Park to Troy to the golf course and back. 2 Mile warm up and then 7 miles subMP, 2 mile cool down and then intervals. 11x 540m (roughly 1/3 of a mile) with 60 second active recoveries. Woof. That was challenging. That left me with a little under 4 mile cool down to wrap things up. If you want to see something really impressive, check Rhetts blog.

PM- 77º Sugarcreek trails. Some of my favorite to run. Challenging loops, but took them kinda slow. 6.5 miles.

6x1 5x1 Mile repeats. Very tired/sore legs this morning, maybe I went to fast on the trails last night or its just the trials of miles.... miles of trials... I dunno. First 3 miles on rolling hills were hitting pace (6:55, 6:54, 6:56) despite not being flat so that was a mental boost. Mile 4 was 85% uphill and gut check, it was all I could do to hold a MP mile. Mile 5 was trashed legs after that hill. I got under MP and just over 1/2 MP but thats it so I scrapped repeat 6. Overall satisfied with the run and back to work.

PM- Sunny and nice, but warm. 6 easy. Some punk kids wanted to race me. I kept my pace slow and they gave up quick enough. Amazing how fast they are for 50 meters and then give up. :p

| AM- Started cool, ended a little warm. Lots of people out walking dogs, biking, running. Ran from Fishburg over the dam in Taylorsville, to tadmor, to underpass to Kyle park. 3 Mile warmup then 16 MP Miles. As a reference for me BQ pace is 7:49. To actually get in pace is around 7:40. So my 16 miles were at 7:35 AP. Then 1 mile cool down. The encouraging part is I still had gas in the tank at the end of 20. I am tired sure, but knowing I had more in me was a mental boost. Race is 4 weeks from today. I have lots of travel starting Monday for about 12 days. I will have to be very creative the keep my miles up.

| On the road for work in Henderson, KY. Found a gem of a bike path... that doesn't allow bikes! KY hills and curves abound. Part of it was along the Ohio river so nice scenery. Ran the classic. 10 Mile warm and then intervals. 6x3 min with 2 min active recoveries. Despite the hills I hit pace (Sub10k) all 6 intervals.

| AM- 21 days until Virginia. Ran the bike path and went the way of rolling hills. Lots of people out. There were quite a few people walking 22 miles for the military to end suicide. With us being so close to Wright Patt AF base it makes sense that there was a decent size group walking. Very nice people and great cause.
2 Mile warm up and then18 miles a little bit faster than MP. 7:35 AP.

A few other people out that surpised me with the cold. About 8 deer about and 1 that was fearless and stood by the bike path as I went by and never moved. 14 Days to race.

| Cold and rainy run. 8 Miles w/11x 150m striders. My legs felt good and the vast majoity of the strides were much faster than 5k pace. A few down in the 4's if you were to look at pace. I don't expect much benefit from this run other than to keep sharp. Oh and more deer out!
10 days to the race. 1st long range forecast would be 42º at race start. Oh how I would love that.

| Race day came. I slept well until about 2:38 when I woke up and then struggled to get back to bed. Oh well. Got my oatmeal and two cups of coffee. Which after going 14 days with no caffeine that was heavenly. 27º at race start, which was cold. Mild wind which was nice until the bridge (more on that later). I got down to the starting area without issue and chatted with a few people as they shivered. I talked to #6. He was Ethiopian and very smooth even with how he walked. I though, this guy might be the winner. (he finished 2nd)
Race started and the first mile is flat, but the next 5 are slightly uphill. I planned on running easy at first and conserving energy even if that meant falling a bit behind. That went as scripted. 7:40, 7:40, 7:43, 7:39, 7:30, 7:51. The next mile was all downhill and I just wanted to put forth the same effort, but make up the time. 6:59 Boom. Right on track. The next 10 miles are a series of rolling hills. Nothing killer, but enough to make you work. I wanted to save energy for mile 16, the bridge which is the biggest hill I was told. Again, just went steady just holding back a hair 7:39, 737, 744, 7:47, 7:46, 7:36, 7:43, 7:29, That was some of the prettiest parts of the marathon. James river was pretty sweet and very nice to run by, although it made it colder. Then the Bridge at 16. It wasn't that big of a hill honestly. It just seemed to last for over a mile. That combined with a headwind that was not felt at all during the twisty parts by the river made it tough. The wheels did not come off, but I struggled on the bridge. 8:12 Ugly. The next two miles we slightly up hill and I could not get myself as far down as I hoped. 7:55, 7:49. I studied the elevation chart well, but somehow I was not getting the downhills I expected for the next several miles to match the rolling uphills. They were mild, but I felt them. 7:49, 7:37, 7:59, 7:44, 7:55, 7:49, 7:52, 7:45. The last mile I was told was all downhill. Not quite, but the last .6 were a steep downhill. I was a little annoyed I couldn't push it harder. 7:37. 1:24 for the .22 (6:57) rounded out the run. 3:22:06. I am satisfied with the results. Not the killer race I wanted, but I am still happy I did not give up or into the cold/fading legs. So good enough for now, I can build off the experience. :)
