Celery Bog w/ Brandon - 12 miles, averaged 8:04.

I did about a mile an a half very slow while waiting for Brandon to meet me. We stayed on the woodchips/mulch/wood bi-product, which was fine. I felt like crap because I stayed up too late for getting up early, but I had a long conversation with a good friend who was having some trouble. Figured a sloggy 12-14 mile "long" run wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I managed to fall, which was nice. I haven't done that since I smashed my elbow this winter. I was overdue and now my training parter knows my secret: I fall a lot.

You learn something new every day: Muscle Milk™ doesn't contain milk. Who knew? Needed a recovery substance and it was what was available at the gas station. I stopped reading the ingredients before I even got started.

Jefferson High School - 8 miles, no watch

Signed up for a 1-mile road race scheduled about a month from today. They are hard to find around here and the timing is never right. Figured it was as good a time as any. Should be interesting considering I am supposed to be in the heart of basebuilding then but I will also be doing some max efforts after another two weeks of recovery.

Waverly Loop (new loop) - 13.5 miles, no watch

Started around 60 ended in the lower 70s. I bonked at least 6 times on the way back. My body just laughed at me . . . and you thought you were recovered from that marathon? hehehehe.

North side - 5.25 miles, averaged 8:14. Sluggish.

Dear Blog Diary: Trying not to get to crazy with getting my mileage back up. I thought I was rolling last year after my marathon but I see I got up to 60-65 after a week off and a recovery week and stayed there for about 4 weeks. This marathon took more out of me than the last one.
