AM - 8 track.  Did a workout with the girls today after a mile warm.  We did 4x30, 3x800, 2x1000 finishing with Pizza cool, but I extended on DI.  The workout was very solid for the girls and it is nice to get out and run with them and get my own legs going a little.  (Hyper Speed 260.25)

afternoon - 3.5 2xHart's.  Just warmed and cooled with the team around their workout.  Did run just a touch with a few of the kids here and there to push them a little  (Kinvara 709.4)

AM - 13 Tempo Loop.  Wasn't a horrid tempo, but not super great.  I had to hit it alone, so I was pretty worried because I always need that little push from The Circle or the team to get going (and I could have used it today too), but I felt a lot better than last time I was stuck alone.  Started a mile earlier and ended a mile later to get a 10 mile tempo.  Hit in an ave. that was below Tinman, but not quite MP.  I wanted about 5-10 seconds quicker, but I am not going to stress about it.  I was happy to at least get it done and hit the same times as last week.  I feel that a low 2:30 (like 2:32) is very much within reach based on how I felt this morning and if things go good I still feel a 2:30 is there.  (Rocket 459.75)

AM - 3 Pizza/DI.  I thought about getting up earlier and getting a few in before the girls' workout, but Weds. is so tough to wake up after early Tues. morning and late night.  So I just ran the warm up with the girls and the cool down extended to DI.  I am just trying not to worry about it anyway and look at it as the easy miles cut down for the taper.  (Stratus grey 1029.65)

afternoon - 6.5 Fire Station Desert.  Out with the boys team this afternoon.  Felt pretty decent.  Added a little to the run.  (Connect 308.25)

AM - 7 AC/Lutheran.  A great morning for temps.  Legs are feeling decent.  Back is finally starting to loosen up.  And head junk is clearing out.  Maybe I'll be ready for the marathon.  (F50 324)

afternoon - 6.5 Shoe.  Again the usual pre-race run.  Pond is nice and chilly... love it.  (Ohana Racers 656.5)

AM - 7.75 AC/2450.  Felt okay today.  A little blah, but I think that is just a bit of a taper setting in.  Kind of excited to run a little something harder tomorrow morning.  (Oregon 460)

AM - 14.75 SG Course.  Felt great to get the Mana on again!  What a great shoe.  I should get a few more pair.  Ran up from Diamond just a little and then down to the finish.  Logan was going to join me, but I got busy getting our car wash stuff ready last night and forgot to call him (sorry Logie).  On the way down, ran 3x2miles with 1 mile in between after about 5 or so at Tinman.  Felt okay, but my right calf is feeling a bit strained out.  I could run on it, but now it is giving me trouble - blah.  Cold up on the course; my ears and hands were cold!  (Mana 184)

Good week of recovery.

Goals for next week: get my calf better, enjoy the race, run to the very best of what the body will give me without letting the mind control it.
