| PM: Easy miles C-Choals to Sandy Springs and back
ran 4 miles in the total dark; it is interesting this works; the stride changes (more forfoot striking) and the eyes see much better than someone would expect; i did not trip one time and did not hit a puddle; very surprising; even i did not see an ueven spots and puttles and inknow from the day that ere are many; i never had a problem; its like you see but you dont see it really; tere is some other vision that is involved that does meet the conscious level obviously hm interesting. I remember somebody running the trails at night without a light; now i know it is actually possible by changing the stride and slowing down.

Still felt my 10 miles MP run from yesterday; was one of most tough workouts i ever did; did not workout on a Wednesday usually; Wednesday is usually my rest day for the last year; so maybe that was the reason; i had to shift / adapt my schedule as the St. G Marathon is on a Saturydat; i wanted to shift now rather than later; this was the first time i used the Hanson training schedule (its my first marathon also); for the next one i will combine Hanson and some workouts from Matt Fitzgerald; the Hanson basically has 2 big workouts the long run at the weekend and the pace run 2 -3 days before the long run; and then some speed training; this time i was too weak to do some intense additional strength training; i did some exercises once in awhile but i know i need to do more; also i hope that my pace runs get easier with time; this last MP run was so tough! i gues i was still tired from the weekend runs and it is still hot. With up 70 miles per week i hope not to hit the wall; I also hope to be able to sustain the pace somehow and have a strong finish rather than just being able to make it somehow to and through the finish; a runner fellow was told to stop at mile 25.5 and passed out on the way to the medical tent; she had about my fitness level if not better; she probably pushed it too much in the first and second thirds of the marathon; and there was nothing left; i was carefull not to get hurt dring speed training and tooke it easy; but the most worry was that i was out for 3 days after a spider bite; the antibiotics i took really affected my health; my morningheart rate was 20 beats per minute higher; i also realized that when i dont go to bed early enough the next days runs are not as good; i keep continue to write my diary and try to imporve things parallel to my body and mind getting more used to the challenges of running. i sometimes feel that my mental energy is used up by those pace runs; it is amazing how much metnal energy running actually needs; that is the reason i never listen to music at it is a too much distraction for me. But the pace runs take some extra mental energy; after more than a year of running i hope my brain gets better used to manage running at higher speed without getting to challenged. Most helpful definetly were the support of the fastrunningblogger, emulation of the trainined methods of the runners here at the forum, the discussion forum, and i think a good plan (Hanson program). I made it so far without major injury and that is best possible outcome for me. Everything else is extra; for my next marathon after STG I will know how to train better and what to expect;
I think the recovery periods are more important than the actual workout; working out is kind of easy you run after a schedule/program; however, we dont have schedules for recoveries; recovery periods is something we need to learn on our own (good nutrition, sleep, rest, low stress); nutrition is one of the most important ways to maintain health in my opinion.
Thanks for the support on the way.
