AM long run: Cold and windy with a winter weather advisory pending. First 5.25 on the treadmill to warmup and see what the weather's going to do - no snow after about 45 minutes of slow jogging on the treadmill, so out the door I go with 7-8 mi. MP in mind: Took a little while to get going on the first mile, so 8mi. MP - 52:46 (6:35 avg.) 7:05, 6:31, 6:48, 6:32, 6:28, 6:26, 6:23, 6:33 Tightness in the lower back, left side - same problem area, but no knee pain, so an improvement. The effort was a bit more than marathon effort on the hills, but recovery was quick, so that's encouraging. Easy 3 back to the house and easy 3 mi. more on the treadmill after peeling off the clothes. 19.15 mi. total - 2:33:40 total, time for some more rolling and icing

PM1 Easy run: Outside - 48deg. overcast. Recovery day - 5.38mi. - 43:38.
PM2 Easy run - 2.14 mi. with the dog - 18:39. A little soreness in the knee :(, left lower back very stiff.
Followed up with 30 minutes of stretching, mostly for the back tightness, and then icing. Core and leg work for about 10 minutes also. |

PM - easy 4.7mi. with the dog - recovery day needed. I'm beat up...
40 minutes of the pilates video we have - 20 min. abs, 10 min. legs, 10 min. stretch - hopefully this will loosen me up and speed the recovery to the legs during some much needed easy days prior to the half marathon this saturday.

| 9am race time in Carmel, IN. About 30 degrees, no wind, and sunny. 1 mi. warmup with some strides. 13.22 mi. - 6:07, 6:14, 6:17, 6:11, 6:13, 6:09, 6:10, 6:22, 6:05, 6:14, 6:12, 6:25, 6:29, 1:28 Really started struggling on the last 2 miles - its a climb, and the race merged back with the quarter marathon. I'm thinking a flat course today would've been a sub 1:22. This time is a PR, but somehow I feel somewhat disappointed with the last couple of miles. Had my sights set on sub 1:22...
