moderate to easy pace today. Ran about 25 minutes then stretched real good and ran a couple of miles more around the track with some easy strides on the straightaways to loosen up. Legs are alright from saturday's long run but a little tired. Not sore though, and I actually felt very good today. Made it a point to eat good stuff today and I felt it.

Oh, and thanks for everyones help on the marathon stuff. I'm gonna finish this last week of track season easy and then start to get into the mileage within the next week. I've kinda been helping out with and training with the HHS track team to get back in shape after not running for 2 years so that's what I've been doing But as soon as the season is over next week its base building time. Woohoo!

Left hamstring was a little tweaked today so I just ran real easy and short. About 20 minutes. Sure wish this wind would quit already!

leg still not up to par but feeling better than yesterday. I think last week's long run may have been a little much but oh well. It'll be alright. So excited to go watch State Track on Saturday. Yeah! Get a motivation booster watching Karl and Luke Puskedra.

1/2 mile warmup. 40 minutes 6 miles on the Angel Heights loop with a couple of extentions. Moderate pace about 6:40 average with a lot of wind so faster on the way out and slower coming back. Left leg felt much better though still a little weak. But it doesn't hurt anymore so that's good :) Anytime I started to feel it I eased off on the effort and made it through alright. Followed that with 1/2 mile cooldown and some good stretching. Felt great!

Man, I know I complain about it too much but I am sooooo tired of the wind. I can't even get a good relaxing run in because I have to fight the wind at least half the time if I'm lucky and it doesn't change direction. Is the wind not blowing ANYWHERE?? Grrrr. Well, it's supposed to quit tonight so I'm crossing my fingers. And toes. And any other extremity that can be crossed. Looks pretty funny:)

I felt really good today. Hamstring/calf is hardly bothering me anymore so I went fairly fast. Almost 5 miles @ 6:10 ish--some variation to make it interesting. Plus half mile warm up and half mile barefoot cool down on the infield. Didn't kill myself though. Looking for a long run tomorrow but not as long as last week.  NO WIND!  YIPEEE!

Man, I just watched Luke Puskedra run an 8:54 3200--how could I not run? Came home after watching the boys take 2nd at State Track (YEAH!) and watching Karl absolutely tear it up and I was really motivated and even though it was 9 PM I went for 10 miles. 67 minutes, so between 6:40 and 6:45 pace the whole way. Felt great, especially the last 5 miles. Really relaxed and felt like I could run the whole marathon that way. And it was an absolutely gorgeous night. Perfect temperatures. Went on the Bench Lake loop (plus 1/2 mile on the track to make even 10) so I was out in the fields smelling the fresh cut alfalfa and the irrigation was running so I hit some nice cool spots, and it was almost a full moon so I could see everything almost plain as day. Ahhhh! That's what running is all about. Or at least part of it:) Great day today.
