| Fail. Fail fail fail. My stomach betrayed me today, and 18 miles turned into less than 5. I had my doubts heading into the run but gave it a shot anyway, knowing I was close to home in case I had to cut it short, and cut it short I did. I wanted to run in the morning, but listened to my stomach and stayed in...then I was incredibly stupid and made cheeseburgers for lunch, hoping to fast track my insides. That was a terrible idea, and a harsh lesson learned. Next week I'll have my revenge...it's going to be a busy, fast, awesome running week. | |

| Very tough run this morning - I didn't get much sleep (precursor to trying to train with a newborn in a few months) and didn't eat very well last night..I really wanted to give up after two miles. But my stomach was good, so my "revenge week" got off to a good enough start. I wound up averaging 7:34/mile, but it was very uneven..first two miles were much faster than the last three. I really should have started slower (7:08 first mile) but didn't really think I was going as fast as I was. No matter, I got through the run and will feel better tomorrow. Oh, first run in the new pair of shoes! No blisters, no soreness...feels like a solid purchase. 5 mile Loop |

| Now that's more like it! Started out strong and got stronger - first 6 miles were at 7:21/mile, last 4.63 were at 6:47, for an overall average of 7:02/mile. I felt strong, fast, and fresh...light years ahead of my last two runs that were marred by stomach issues and then fatigue. The only downside is my almost-dead blister came back with a vengeance, ripping wide open during a turn with 4 miles to go. That made the run uncomfortable, but not painful..I soaked it in the hot tub for a while and will hope it dries up tonight. The week is off to a great start! | |

| Interesting run today. The goal was 5 easy miles to recover from yesterday's outing..those easy miles turned into a 7:06/mile pace. The interesting thing was that I kept trying to slow down, and thinking that I was slowing down...then each mile was within a few seconds of that pace. I wasn't working very hard so I guess it's okay to have gone that fast, and even when I thought I was tired and slowing down, the last mile was 7:09. So it was kinda strange, but nothing to complain about..it's runs like this that make me feel like a BQ in October is really possible. My blister is a mess though..but I think I'm gonna do tomorrow morning's planned run of 7 miles anyway..after that I'm off until Saturday morning. Hopefully it goes well tomorrow, it doesn't hurt at all, just uncomfortable..fingers crossed! 5 mile Loop |

| Great run! I was worried about what my energy level would be like after the recent miles and less sleep than usual, but I felt awesome the whole time. Heart rate stayed low, average pace was 7:11/mile, and I finished strong with a 6:48 without feeling over exerted in the least. My blister was mostly okay, I felt it rubbing after four miles..I'm not doing any damage to the part that peeled, but the area below it is definitely getting some unwanted attention. Tomorrow is a rest day, I'm hoping a bit of time off will get this thing healed up. | |

| I had surprisingly stiff legs today, my shins and calves were both tight and sore during the easy 3 mile run. I bet they would have loosened up had I gone any farther, but there was no need to deviate from the planned short run. Tomorrow is the big day, taking another shot at going long... | |
