| Not a great overall time, but there were a lot of positives to take from this race. My first mile was 5:38 and it felt easy, which is nice, then we hit the hills and my times fell off even though i felt i was maintaining...definitely need to continue to build speed. somehow my 18:27 was good enough for 2nd place which netted me $25 cash, so with the entry fee (15) i came out $10 ahead. not too shabby for a foggy april morning. |

AM- hot and humid today. Expecting big storms later, but the heat is tough right now cuz its 20-25 degrees above normal for this time of year. Just 2 weeks ago, i was running in tights and hats and gloves. 7 miles in 51:11, 7:19 avg pace. weights after.
PM- an unprecedented and unplanned 2nd run this evening. Since I have been struggling with my long runs as of late i decided to instead do two runs. I had even done weights and eaten a pizza after my first run. Plus, i had just topped off an iced coffee and a pb & j sandwich, and yet the thought hit me to go run again. The results were phenomenal, I absolutely killed it and i felt tremendous..which was surprising given 7 previous miles plus weights earlier. Here were my splits for the 9 mile nightcap: 1- 6:55.8 2- 6:34.4 3- 6:48.3 (20:18, 6:46 avg pace) 4- 6:40.6 5- 6:52.7 6- 6:47.4 (40:39, 6:46 avg pace) 7- 6:58.4 8- 6:41.7 9- 6:15.5
TOTAL-- 1:00:34, 6:44 avg pace Just an incredible run, felt like i was flowing, and ripped off the 6:15 at the end like it was nothing. 16 miles total on the day.

| The only thing i had to worry about today was my tired morning legs. everything else was good, felt great, the weather was perfect, mid-60s no wind, just the kind of sunny day i was dreaming of when it was -10 out 3 months ago. Splits: 1- 7:33.7 2- 7:14.6 3- 7:12.7 4- 7:28.0 5- 7:26.1 6- 7:10.7 TOTAL-- 44:05, 7:21 avg pace

| awesome workout today. it is pouring rain and cold and really windy so i went on the indoor track. Did 4x mile repeats. Warmup mile was 6:51, so GMP, one of the cooldown miles was under 7 also so another GMP. Felt really good and felt pretty smooth during the repeats. Splits (with 3 minute rep breaks):
1- 5:42.9 2- 5:35.6 3- 5:38.5 4- 5:35.6 Overall, it felt great to hit all my miles within a cluster of 7 seconds. Very even paced workout. I didnt feel like I was pushing too hard either, so technically i felt as if i was doing tempo, but since I havent had a workout of this caliber in a while, ill call them VO2 max miles.

| 12.2 today in 1:29:50, 7:22 pace, felt pretty crappy, just really sluggish. was theoretically going to go for 20 today but couldnt get there, my marathon attempt for this spring has been dashed and i will now focus on shorter races. |

| epic workout today, 11x1000 with 1 min rep breaks. I read that marathon great German Silva does 10-15 1000s as a key workout for the half-mary. The kicker is to hit them all at GHMP, and that is what i did today. Splits: 1- 3:40 2- 3:47 3- 3:38 4- 3:45 5- 3:39 6- 3:45 7- 3:37 8- 3:47 9- 3:41 10- 3:46 11- 3:38 1 min between each. the odd numbered reps were with the wind and slightly downhill and the even numbered ones were into the wind (15 mph) and slighty uphill so they evened out. total was 11k, 6.9 miles in 40:43, 5:55 avg pace, well under GHMP. ice bath afterward.

| Horrible race today. Worst half-marathon I've ever run. Don't wanna dwell on it, but i did start off very well. Felt comfortable the first couple miles. 6:03, 6:06, 6:09, 6:03, 6:16, 30:37 through 5 miles, then the wheels came off. Hit a 6:48 for the 6th mile and just completely fell apart. Felt like walking off the course and taking a DNF. had to struggle with that decision for the last 8 miles. Had a golden opportunity and almost took it but decided I would finish. Im glad I did in retrospect, because I am not a quitter. However, I basically jogged in and finished in 1:28:03, 6:43 pace...my worst half-marathon by 6 minutes. I have run faster than this in training. Moral of the story, sometimes you just dont show up and today i didnt. I think i am going to focus on shorter races...i felt great through 5...just had nothing after. Need to forget this one quickly. |
