| Cool (44) with some wind. Today wanted to run a few faster miles. So after warmup picked it up as I went along. Ran the tempo miles around 7:30. Probably a little slow for tempo but felt good. Last faster run before the marathon.

| Lexington, KY: Nice morning (58). Just another easy run on taper week. Feeling kind of sluggish which is normal.

| Warm (66). Took yesterday off to rest/taper. Just a short easy run this morning to loosen up and stretch afterward.
Not sure what to expect for the marathon tomorrow. I don't have a very good base built up so this is probably the least prepared I have been for a marathon. Really nervious about what pace to try to run. I'm thinking I will be conservative and try to make it without too much struggling. So my goals for the race are
Main Goal: Finish and run under 3:40
Stretch Goal: Break 3:30 and BQ

| Beautiful day for the race. Low 40's at the start but warmed up and was sunny most of the way. This went pretty much the way that I thought it would. I started off easy and the running felt good but started having pain in my legs around 15 miles and it just went downhill from there. I just didn't have enough base built up. After cutting back the last few years on running this was a little too quick of a build up for me to run a decent marathon. It was weird. I felt good otherwise. Plenty of energy and no cardio problems just my legs were trashed. The last 6 or 7 miles was just cramps and pain in various parts of the legs. Just slowed down and was able to keep it somewhat manageable. Glad to finish but disappointed that I was not really ready for it. Need to get a more of a base built up before I try to tackle another marathon. Went out in 1:46 and came back in 1:56. For now I want to drop back and work on building a solid base and run some shorter faster races. Then I will see if I want to tackle another marathon. On a positive note, I ran for World Vision and raised money to provide clean water to people in Africa so that makes the day a success!

| Took the last few days off after the marathon. My legs have been pretty sore. I have been walking some the last couple of days and today did a little run/walk. Actually mostly walking. Legs feeling better so might be able to run some tomorrow. No rush in getting started again. I want to make sure I am fully recovered.

| Nice day (51) with some wind. This is my first day of actual running. Legs felt ok but still a little sore. It was nice getting back out but going to continue to take it easy as I build back up.

| Just ran on the TM today as I continue to recover from the marathon. I think all the soreness is out of my legs and I should be able to get back to a normal routine. Just taking it easy on this recovery. I have nothing coming up to worry about so just taking my time.

| Another cold (22) morning and I am not ready to start running in the cold so I stayed inside on the TM. It was an easy run and felt good. I am going to try to get back to normal running this week after giving myself a break after the marathon.
