| Meanwhile...Back to the Marathon Training An easy 3-mile run in the rain followed by a set of 3 10-second hill sprints. An easy 3-miles at a comfortable (just under 10mm) pace. I've been off the boat for about two days now, but I still feel like the ground is moving. It felt that way as I ran, only my feet were landing solidly where they were supposed to--unlike any of my runs last week. I do miss the oxygen at sea level, but I know this will be good training for the marathon. Did three hill sprints at the end. Two up Flat Iron Mesa and the last one up 1700 East. I'm going to be running 5 days a week now and starting to pick up the mileage again.

| Ran 7 miles at 9:30 pace. I am entering this too late to remember much about it. I did have to change the name of my blog. Running on the cruise ship helped my ankle to not hurt so much. (I probably should do some trail running.) But somehow I strained my right IT band. I don't feel it in my knee, I just feel my IT band. I'm a little concerned about that.

| Supposed to be a recovery run. Probably ran a little fast because it was only 3 miles. I don't really remember. Workout Data

| 7 miles at marathon pace. I was looking to get done in 63 minutes (9 mm). It took me 66. It probably would have happened if I had rested the day before, like I was supposed to on my schedule. However, staying up late on the 4th and recovering from the long drive home from Seattle made it too hard to get up early on Tuesday to run. So I shifted everything over a day. I didn't think it would be a problem since this is an easier "recovery" week. Although, it is more than I have been running lately. The problem I have running with Stacie is that she has a Garmin Forerunner 305 and I have a Timex Ironman--which I hate. The problem is, they disagree on how far a mile is. My watch always thinks it is a bit longer than hers does. That makes me wonder which one is right or if they are both wrong altogether and if the truth is really somewhere in between. It doesn't really matter. I used to run with Nike+ and they are both far more accurate than it ever was. I do kind of miss Paula Radcliffe chiming in at the end of each workout with, "Hello, this is Pualer again. Congratulations on running another 500 kilometers (or maybe it was miles)." I don't know at what point it broke. The congratulatory announcements used to be made by either Paula or Lance Armstrong. They also used to reflect what the device actually had told me I had run--which was only as accurate as the calibration which was never very good. I'm blaming it on Lance. I'm convinced he was cheating somehow and sneaked away before he could get caught. This left Paula holding the bag and she just started mailing in the same announcement every time.

Jeff Runs the Voodoo Down My Saturday long runs follow a medium-long run on Fridays at marathon pace. This means I run them a little slower--which is good. Today was just 10 miles. The pain in my leg has migrated from my IT band over towards my groin. It hurts in front at the top of my quads and in my groin. The groin pain feels like an old injury I obtained while helping my brother-in-law move years ago. I was carrying a large piece of furniture by myself, which was a big mistake. I made some radical move to adjust how I was carrying it for better balance and something popped. There was this constant dull pain there for years and I'm not sure when it really went away. It did though. Until now. I've started wearing compression shorts and they help. Also, running seems to help. At least, after a few miles, it doesn't really hurt while I run. Stacie got out earlier than I did today, so I ran with my iPod for the first time in a while. One of my better long run songs, "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down," by Miles Davis came on and it is great for long runs. First of all, it has the word "Run" in the title. It is also 14 minutes long with a nice, steady, laid-back groove that is great for maintaining a relaxed pace. But it does move along. The other two people who read this blog might disagree because there aren't any words or chord changes. There is just one weird part where either Joe Zawinul or Chick Corea or both kind of spaz out on the electric piano for a couple of minutes that is kind of hard to run to, but other than that, I could run or mountain bike to that song all day long. I'd mention the album name, but it contains a word that some people in this community find offensive. There are contexts in which it is perfectly acceptable. It is used in about 10-20% of the all-female or female-heavy Ragnar Relay team names, so maybe it is more acceptable to throw around in the running community. (Please note that a female-heavy team is not the same as a heavy-female team. By female-heavy I mean at least 50% female--though some of the heavy-female team names might also use this term.) Just to resolve some apparent ambiguity, this is the term that is used more in dog-breeding and not some sort of mammalian reference--which tends to be included in at least 50% of the all-female or female-heavy team names. At any rate, the album name is a play on the phrase, "witch's brew" and now that I have gone all this way to avoid using the word, you've spent far more time thinking about it than you would have if I had just used the word in the first place.
