In May my baby son will be old enough to join me for a run with his jogging stroller, can't wait! |

| Objective: 10 mile long run This congestion I've dealt with all week can't go away soon enough. After two faster days in a row, I had no delusions about this being a fast run, figuring I'd average around 7:45/mile - that proved to be the case (7:47) but the journey there was just brutal. Breathing became tough around 6 miles due to a snot overload, and my body was just wiped out. Looking forward to a better long run next week, assuming I ever get back to full health. 6 weeks down, 12 to go! |

| Objective: 3 easy miles Week 7 starts off with another recovery run, which went very well. My body was pretty beaten up from the weekend's not-fully-healthy runs and I briefly considered just taking the day off. But I got out there, at a 7:33/mile average, kept my heart rate low and got the run done. This is going to be a tough week, as I won't get a day off until Sunday and the mileage is starting to ramp up..exciting and scary at the same time. | |

Objective: 8 mile run I was skeptical heading into today's run. My back was getting achy and my legs were stiff all day, all of which I attributed to the last few days' worth of running. I started off stiff but at a decent pace for the first mile (7:20), but when I had to sprint to beat a light soon after that, everything changed for the better. I guess my legs just needed to wake up a bit, and it turned out to be a great run. I wound up with a 7:05 avg/mile pace for the run, with a strong finish (6:46) and feeling strong. Sure, I'm looking forward to my day off on Sunday already, but at least now I feel more confident about the rest of the week. Pico and back

| Objective: 4 easy miles I felt good this morning, after last night's surprisingly good run. I kept the pace easy, going 8:06, 7:33, 7:34, 7:34 and kept my heart rate in the high 150's. My legs definitely feel better today than they did yesterday, although they are a bit tired with six straight days of running in the books. | |

Objective: 5x hills I decided to forego the weight vest for today's hill run, with two harder days coming up next and a lot of recent miles on my legs. It was a nice change of pace, with my uphill splits going 3:03, 3:00, 2:54, 2:57, 2:51 (big difference from the 3:10ish average from the last couple of weight vest outings), but most importantly I didn't wear myself out like I could have. The next two days will be tough, hopefully they go well!

| Objective: 8 miles at marathon pace (7:00/mile) I was concerned about today's run about a mile in, when my right shin felt tight/sore. I got to stretch it out at a couple of stoplights, and it never turned into anything to really worry about. I did the first four miles (gradually uphill) in 28:28, and the next four in 26:51, with a similar paced finish - wound up at 6:55/mile for the run. Tomorrow is a big test...I've never done a 16 miler with so many recently rest-day-free miles..hoping for the best. Pico and back |

| Objective: 16 mile long run Well, I did it - the run went about as well as I could have hoped. I set new 7 day (55 miles) and 8 day (62 miles) records, so my legs have been working hard. I was aiming for a 7:30/mile pace, and finished at 7:33 - I lost some time in the last three miles, but nothing too significant. I'm really just proud that I finished the run, and the week, and I get a day off tomorrow as a reward. 7 weeks down, 11 to go! | |
