"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka
"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

| | 6.2 miles / 8:22 avg. Ran with Chad this morning along 11th ave/city creek/capital area. Good conversation as always. Also a good challenge for me to try to keep breathing while running/talking with Chad. This Fall weather is crazy! | |

8.5 miles / 1:12:15 / 8:30 avg. Overcast, intermittent snow, wind NNW gust up to 19mph. Jensen Park/Bluff trail.
Yesterday, I ran in shorts and short sleeves. Today I donned full winter regalia. Pretty miserable to start but great once I warmed up. I was feeling sluggish so after 3.5 miles I did 4 x 1/2 mile with 1/4 mile recovery, except before the fourth interval I took a 1/2 mile recovery. My splits on the half mile intervals were around 3:30 (7:00 pace). Splits: 9:08, 8:49, 8:59, 8:00, 8:27, 8:08, 8:06, 8:37, + .5 @ 8:04 pace.

7.1 miles / 1:00:32 / 8:32 avg. Overcast, a little wind, 38F. Shorts, long sleeve capilene under long sleeve tech shirt from Ogden 1/2 marathon, light gloves, winter cap. From work, dropped a payment off at the bank, (it feels good to run errands on the run), then South around new neighborhoods I've not seen before. At 3.5 miles I stopped at Rosewood park and ran a mile with some striders barefoot on the grass. Definitely too cold for barefoot. With the first 1/4 mile my toes were completely numb. Felt really good though. Awkward trying to get my socks and shoes back onto numb, wet feet. Really pleased with how effortless today's run felt. 8:42, 8:41, 9:02 (uphill in a headwind :-)), 8:34, 8:04, 8:26, 8:17, +.1 @ 8:06 pace.

| | 10.6 miles / 1:30:02 / 8:30 avg. Sunny, 38F, wind. From work, up to Emerald park (6 mi.), for a drink of water but they've shut the water off for the Winter. With the temps at 38 degrees, hydration was not an issue. SLowest mile was 9:02, fastest 8:06.

I feel a day off coming on...
6 weeks after the marathon. I believe the main reason I crashed was because I was over trained. Even though it was my fourth marathon I really consider it my first because it was the first time I gave a conscious effort at training, and had been 6 years since my last marathon. (I've really only had a mileage base going for a little over a year now). I may have done better if I had run bigger mileage in June/July as planned but I ended up with injuries and cut back to 50 - 60 MPW for most of the Summer. Then I tried to cram a few higher mileage weeks into August, and had a short, tired taper before the Sept. 19th event. My diet wasn't very good at that point either. Too much HFC in the form of Powerade and other sundry sugar filled items. I have since kicked the powerade habit and cut way back on other crap. The diet change, combined with several low mileage weeks in a row (40-45 MPW) have me feeling pretty good. Hopefully I can increase my mileage to 50-65 mpw over the next several months and remain strong for the next marathon training cycle, whenever that comes. Okay, done rambling.
