Tried to BQ in October, 2011 but failed miserably (DNF) in the 80 degree heat and with a head cold..I'll give it another shot at some point, but not for a while. In May my baby son will be old enough to join me for a run with his jogging stroller, can't wait! |

Day 1 of the official 18 week training program - it's for real now! Objective: 3 easy miles Started it off easy, doing the run at a 7:09/mile pace..probably faster than I should have gone, but the effort level was nice and low. Heart rate average was 157, high of 166 so I wasn't using too much energy.

Objective: 5 faster miles Holy speed work! Day #2 of training called for 5 "faster" miles, which I set at 6:30-6:45/mile. I had no idea I was going to finish at 6:26/mile, with each mile between 6:24 and 6:32! This is my fastest 5 mile run ever, and confirms my belief that some rest last week would be a benefit. Two days down, 124 to go :) 5 mile loop

| Objective: 3 easy miles I took this run much easier than Monday's, keeping my heart rate very low and the average pace at 7:35/mile. My legs needed the break after yesterday's record-breaking speed run, and I kind of enjoyed keeping the heart rate in the 150's instead of thinking about the pace of the run. |

| Objective: 3 hill repeats, with weight vest I did today's hill run in the morning due to a baby class tonight (and for the next five Thursdays after, good times), which always slows me down. So I didn't care about the speed much..usually I'll turn off the auto-lap on my Garmin and track my "up" and "down" times, but I didn't worry about that today. The overall pace was 8:13/mile, but that's just for posterity. Normally tomorrow would be a rest day, but I'll be out of town from Saturday morning-Sunday night so I've got to move the schedule up by a day. | |

| Objective: 5 marathon pace miles, I'm defining as 7:00/mile Felt great during tonight's run, and finished at a 6:54/mile pace. I got a bit fast during the third mile (6:44) but took it easier at the end to be closer to the goal pace. My average heart rate was 163 bpm, so despite the pace I really wasn't using too much energy. Week 1 is almost complete! |

| Objective: 10 easy miles (7:45-8:00 pace) Wow, today's run was much harder than I thought it would be. I finished at 7:44/mile, right on target, but it was a lot more work than all recent runs. My average heart rate was 166 bpm, and was all the way up to 171 in the 2nd mile - that kind of exertion is usually reserved for sub-7 minute miles. I'm not really sure what the difference was, I guess just a combination of the 6th straight day running, going out early before food/water, and doing 5 faster miles just last night. No bother though, I pushed through and kept a steady pace, which is all that matters for today. 17 weeks to go! |
