Evening - 7 miles, averaged 7:38. Did some good strides, but they winded me a bit, so I knew I was beat. Felt exhausted today, not all of which is from running pretty much straight for 14+ weeks with almost not cutback weeks other than an occasional slight dip. Was very surprised to see the averaged pace when I checked my data.

My run left me feeling better after a tough afternoon. Coach Dodge was really trying to talk me into taking a day off, but I told him to kiss off.

Your legs are getting used to doing what they're supposed to. Good to see! Great workout today.

You're in the thick of training still. The fog will start to lift in a week or so and you'll be a new man, ready for a crazy-good marathon PR.

Yep, you're nearly there. Hang tough - the rewards will be worth the toil.

Thanks, gents. I think it was more a tough life day than a tough running day. my legs are definitely feeling the miles, the hard half, and the 94 mile week with big workout. No injuries or asymmetrical soreness, so I am fortunate. Feeling tired today, but it is cooler and rainy. Quite pleasant.

Don't worry. I'm already dreaming of a 150-lb-range Jason in the fall, running several consecutive half marathon PRs :)
