| http://connect.garmin.com/activity/10556572 Well I knew this was bound to happen but I had my first bad run day. Yesterday's easy run was hard and I am wondering if I am a little sick. My throat has been sore and my mouth was extremely dry. I felt hot (it was really warm anyway 73 degrees) but I just felt hot. I struggled warming up but after 2 miles just decided to go for it. I was suprised that my pace started to fast but I couldn't hold it and faded towards the end of the first set. I took full advantage of the recovery and only ran a little in the ten minute easy pace. I knew after the first half mile of the second set that I wasn't going to hold the pace so I just ran at the pace that my legs and heart gave me. I was in more pain in my foot and started to feel the other foot getting sore too. I felt a little gut ache every 5 minutes or so but not killing me. I also felt labored breathing like it was hard to get a deep breath in so I just didn't breathe in deep. Clearly not my day. The pebbles in the road felt like boulders, the rises in the road felt like mountains, the wind gusts felt like a hurricane, and my legs were churning through quick sand. Brutal day.
After the last interval I walked for a short stretch and my legs felt stiff and achy but not painful. It was weird. Different than lactic acid they felt more like they would when you have the flu. My heart rate recovered in a couple of minutes and the last mile or so was difficult to get in a rhythm. My feet still hurt and my legs are achy and I feel a little tired but that might just be the early start time.
On a positive note. I felt like I was able to push through the difficult spot and was happy that I was still running faster than MP. I didn't feel injured. I didn't feel over trained. Mentally I had accepted that it wasn't going to be my best day and finishing the workout was my goal. |

| http://connect.garmin.com/activity/10675884 My lack of discipline is showing as I went too far this morning but the weather was great and it felt good to be outside. My time tomorrow will probably reflect some tired legs but at least I will know why. I tried to reel my pace in several times and felt comfortable most of the way. |

Sasha was in 3rd place when I saw him flying down the hill while I was still going up. Great job! http://connect.garmin.com/activity/10741000 Most of the race felt good for me. I tried not to push it on the uphill while maintaining effort. I'm sure my heart rate peaked but purposely left the HRM at home. I tried to "feel" what my legs would give me. I didn't really have to recover on the downhill which was nice because people were flying down the last stretch. I picked up a couple of dudes going a bit faster than me at about mile 9 (right after I ate GU) and pretended like I was drafting. I was surprised that my heart was able to keep up. In fact, I felt just as comfortable at that pace as the slower pace after a few minutes. Even better, with about 2 miles to go one of them slowed his pace a little, then a mile later the other guy slowed and I was able to keep my pace strong for the last mile past both of them. I had plantar pain on the right, sharp for about 1 mile on the uphill. My right quad had a focal muscle spasm on the middle part of the vastus lateralis The glut med and TFL on the left started to feel tight, fatigued at about mile 10 on. I had accelerade and a power bar for breakfast. No stomach or nutrition issues during the race. I planned on GU at 9 and took a full choco w/caff. with a swig of H2O. I only drank twice, once at 9 and once at 11. The night before, I slept crappy, weird dreams about missing the race. My stomach had some cramps during the day but felt fine this morning. I had spaghetti w/meat for dinner and ate quite a bit. Still have plantar pain post race. I ate steak and egg burrito immediately following the race with an orange shake.

| http://connect.garmin.com/activity/11107091 I was happy with this run and am glad I gave myself one extra day of recovery from the 1/2 Marathon on Saturday so that I could hold my pace. My last T run was not good so it felt great to hold the pace and see my heart respond. My foot felt fine. ITB on the left was fine with no hip pain. I had some muscle fatigue on the last 2 intervals but was surprised with my last interval pace.

| This was a weird run. I almost turned around as I went up the hill away from my house. My chest was heaving and I felt pain everywhere. I actually did turn around and pictured myself comfortable lying next to my wife. Then I turned back up the hill and said to myself... just try. By a half mile in I was feeling a little better and by 2 miles in I thought I might make it. So 21 miles later I was saying wow and you almost didn't even start. Amazing. My foot hurt. My right calf, inside ankle, and shin had some sharp pain. I had pain in my left hip, glut and then at the end of the run felt it sort of numb. Toes were scrunched into the front of these Brooks. Maybe I won't race in them. I was really hot at the end but not dehydrated and didn't feel an energy drain. |

| Today's run was good. I gave myself an extra day to recover from Monday's long run. I felt good overall. My legs felt strong and cardio felt good. My foot continues to be sore and I started to compensate by running on the outside of my foot. My second set of easy miles was hard and I did some walking and stretching. I was surprised that I was able to hold my pace for the last interval set. |

| This was supposed to be 15 miles at Marathon pace but I bonked on the last 4 miles. My legs were done and by the end I felt like I couldn't give anymore so I just slowed down. I'm sure it was the accumulation of miles especially during the last week but certainly with 2 big hikes in the past couple of weeks and some compressed training it was bound to happen. I felt like I needed to finish the run even though the last 4 weren't at pace. My foot hurt and the outside of my foot was hurting from compensating. I didn't feel anything else getting sore until I bonked. Then everything hurt. |

| http://connect.garmin.com/activity/13457082 Much better today. No problems warming up. Stiff in the foot but that's how it is everyday. Held back a little on the first two sets to make sure I could finish without loosing pace. The last set was hard, some lactic acid but heart rate stayed steady. Tired at the end and stiff to finish cool down but a good workout. |

| legs felt fine, heart rate under control, foot is feeling better. I had some hamstring pain on the left, patellar pain on the left, and my right ankle has some tendinitis. I'm icing it now. It was hard to breathe today but I feel a little congestion. No equipment issues. Need to get MP3 player ready with marathon mix |
