3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) Personal: I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races. |

Bradenton, FL; 72F and 94% humidity; 4.54 mi @ 9:09 min/mi AP then 6 strides @ 5:53 min/mi AP. 5.35 mi in 50:51. Legs did not feel sore. Energy felt low I think from the humidity.

Ringling Bridge, Sarasota, FL; 64F and 77% humidity, windy - nice weather!!! This was switched with last Tuesday's workout. 10:00 @ HMP were @ 7:34 min/mi (1.32 mi) and 7:28 min/mi (1.34 mi) AP. 30 sec hills were @ 7:50 min/mi AP and roughly 3% incline. 8 miles in 1:08:10. Legs felt really strong on this run even though the wind was trying to blow me sideways!

| 15 min w.u. 3-4 mile aerobic tempo, 3 mins rest 8 x 30 secs on, 1 min off 10 min c.d. Tempo between HMP and MP.
Flatwoods in Tampa, FL; 59F and 98% humidity; 15 min wu @ 9:20 min/mi AP then 4 mile tempo @ 7:46 min/mi AP, 30s on were @ 6:33 min/mi AP. 8.54 mi in 1:11:06. Adductors were extremely sore from Tuesday's strength work, but running faster paces felt okay and stretched them out a bit. The tempo felt pretty relaxed especially towards the end, then the strides felt fun to push the pace.

| 16 miles with middle 4 miles at MP
Ringling Bridge, Sarasota, FL; 66F and 98% humidity; MP for miles 6-10, splits: 7:58 (bridge with headwind), 7:56 (bridge with tailwind), 7:50 (flat with tailwind), 8:03 (flat with headwind). AP for MP: 7:57 min/mi, AP for entire run: 8:46 min/mi. 16.01 mi in 2:20:15. Elevation gain at least 400 ft. My legs hurt the ENTIRE run. I'm starting to notice a trend from my FL runs. This was similar weather as the Disney Marathon last Jan. when my legs hurt the entire race. I'm wondering if this is an electrolyte thing? Or poor oxygen delivery to muscles in high humidity - it basically feels like I'm running with a bag over my head when I breath. I took an ice bath and had muscle spasms in my hamstrings for most of the day. Took in pickle juice, gatorade and Nuun throughout the rest of the day.
