AM: 8 easy miles with 10 x 10 second hill sprints. (taking a page from Brad Hudson's methods) 7:37 average. Nice morning!

PM: 5.75 miles. I didn't feel as hot as usual. Maybe I'm more used to 85 degree afternoons. 7:18 average

My plan was a 90 minute controlled tempo run this morning. I warmed up 1.5 miles

I planned 10 sets of 3 minutes at 9.5, 9.7, and 10.0 mph on the treadmill. I made it through 6 sets when the school called me telling me that Cole just barfed all over the classroom. So, I aborted the mission. ( I was feeling amazing.) I had to go get Cole. I swear this happens at this point in my training every marathon cycle. I really hope I don't get it. I'll run a hard workout Thursday if the flu stays at bay. AAAAGGHH!

AM: 9 breezy miles. It looks like it's going to be pretty windy the rest of the week. Yay. Hoping that my hurty stomach is psychosomatic. 7:17 ave. Watch out for that school traffic. It's dangerous out there!

PM: 6.1 miles. 92 degrees. 24 mph winds. But, no flu yet!

TIRED legs today. I eased into this one. I just ran enough to have 85 after a 22 miler tomorrow. It wasn't as windy as I thought it would be. Hope that holds true tomorrow morning. 7:27 average.

Moderate pace 22 miler. It's amazing how much better I felt after a good night's sleep. First long effort in four weeks that I have slept more than three hours.

I ran with Caisa in Daybreak. Lots of hills. Lots of wind. Not the greatest place to run in my opinion, but it's a change of scenery. The other two girls ran 16 with me. Then, I ran the last six around the lake. Finished with a little marathon effort, but only for the last mile. 7:04 average. I felt strong the whole run, after the plodding first few miles. 85 this week! Almost there!!!!
