afternoon - Quail Creek run. I do this run in three segments. First and Second 5 miles, both just over 35 minutes each. Then after a hard .75 mile climb, I start the third which is marathon pace for the rest of the run. When I finished the climb at 10.75 I noticed the wind was blowing quite a bit up above Quail in the Industrial Park - and I knew my chances for marathon pace were not there, but I could still push myself and run hard. Shortly, the wind got worse; then worse; and just when I thought that it couldn't get any worse - It Got Worse. It was right up there with the top one or two windy runs I can ever remember. I struggled to keep my pace anywhere near 7:00. the wind basically stood me up and pushed me backward in some spots. Needless to say, I didn't hit my marathon pace for the last section, but the effort was maybe even greater. By the time I dropped back into Washington, the winds were just gusty. It didn't matter, however. I was so tired from the effort I was just happy to be able to keep shuffling toward home.

Legs still a bit tired, but feet felt better in new pair of Landreth II's.

Since the NB 755's are now retired here is my review of them: Don't be deceived by the initial cushiony feel of this neutral shoe. Within a week of wearing them, the forefoot had lost most of its softness and my feet hurt every run in them since. The shoe is heavy and from the beginning felt very clunky on my foot (As opposed to the Asics Landreth and Cumulus that seem to glide across the road). For the first time ever, I heard my own footsteps as I literally pounded the pavement. The one thing I liked was the lack of wear on the rubber. I do wish Asics would hold up as well on the sole as this shoe did. Miles on the New Balance 755's - 469.0

Hey Dave, I think there is a song "Running against the wind!" Thanks for the shoe review. I Need a new pair soon. Landreths sound like the way to go. Your smokin on the miles. Going for 100?

No - I'll back it down Friday and Saturday with 10-12's each day.

Good run Dave. Your right about the recovery weeks. The seem to really boost the energy. I'll back down to 80 next week. I just had some extra time and decided it would be a good week to hit 100 because I told myself I would before Boston. Don't ask me why? I'm pretty beat and am just trying to get through the week.
