22 mile run today. Avg pace of 9:15 per mile. The first 11-14 miles my AVG HR was probably 145 and my pace was exactly 9:00 per mile. The last 6-8 miles were not as kind. I did pick up the tempo at mile 16-19 and a good portion of that was uphill. After that my HR stayed very high 165-175 range for the last couple miles which were not fast miles maybe 10:00. I was pretty tired the last two. Maybe beacuase I did not eat anything before the run and it really warmed up when i was out there. Also I ran 8 Miles at 7:00 P.M. the night before then Ran the 22 mile run at 9:00 A.M. ?? My twenty mile run three weeks ago did not seem nearly as brutal and it seemed I had more left in the tank at the end of that run.. OK No more whining....I plan on trying to get in two more 22-25 mile runs prior to Marathon on 10/15....

I want to stay focused as my qualifying race is less than 9 weeks away. trying to decide if I should run a half - marathon 6 weeks out or 4 weeks out from my qualifying race...

done with a much needed break to let myself recover mentally & phyiscally now I hope to buckle down and focus the next 56 days / 8 weeks until the Columbus Marathon where I hope to qualify for Boston...

Tonight a little too anxious from all the rest

first mile 8:05

mile 1-2.5 6:36 second pace (sucking some wind)

mile 2.5-3.1 7:05 pace (had to back off as I was sucking wind.

3.1 was 22:00

Mile 3.1-4.5 was 9:17 pace (nice recovery pace)

Mile 4.5-6.0 6:54 pace

mile 6.0 - 7.0 6:36 pace

overall run 7:25 pace for 52:01

effort felt hard but I am glad to see I have not lost all my speed. I have not tested my fitness very frequently with my increase in mileage over the last several weeks all have been at a slow 9:00 pace.

I plan to incorporate 1 spped day a week for my confidence as much as anything...

I am thinking I will be better off running a half marathon 4 weeks out from my marathon instead of 6 weeks out. I will shoot for the airforce marathon September 16th and run the half there that gives me 26 days to get ready for the half... I hope to PR or at least run 25-30 seconds faster than my marathon pace which will have to be 7:28 or faster so I will have to run in the 7:00 range for the half.

This race will set me up with exactly 4 weeks between the half and the marathon to get ready. I figure 1 week of ez recovery work with my final long run a week after the half then 1 week of decent mileage and two weeks taper for the big day.... Hope it works...

I think I am going to very my mileage & pace from day to day for the next 8 weeks 7 miles tempo some days 9 EZ others etc.. to break up the monotony. Definitley hate to see summer dwindling but I can not wait for the cooler tempps to run in : )

The week of made me feel guilty but I think it was much needed mentally & physically...
