Greenbelt - 2:24

Long run today. Feeling like I need to put in 3 or 4 really good mileage weeks before the marathon on May 31. The heat was a factor today for the first time in 2008 - I even got a little sunburned (maybe due to the fact I started my run at 1 pm). There were literally hundreds of bikers, runners and walkers out on the greenbelt today.

I started in Ann Morrison Park and ran down onto the Garden City/Eagle stretch, and came back the same way back to my house. I intended to do a slow first 16-17 miles and then finish hard, but it ended up being just a steady run the whole time (7:12/mile ave). The last 3 miles were definitely tough and there was no way I could pick it up much.

Greenbelt - 35:19

Another sunny, warm day. Started at Ann Morrison Park and headed upstream today past Municipal Park. Averaged about 7 min/mile, which was fine the day after a 20 miler.

A.M. - Run to work - 25:15

Warm out and felt ok. Shin sore and backpack wasn't comfortable, but ok other than that.

P.M. - Treadmill - 28:08

Easy on the treadmill at home at 10 pm. Looong track meet this afternoon, and spent a few hours writing a paper for a class I'm taking after that.

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 1:05

Given the fact my last 2 nights of sleep have been horrible and I was in a fair amount of pain with my shin, I took it real easy tonight. Ran about 2 miles with Leo very slow, then did 6 miles solo at about 7:38/mile pace. Felt ok and it was probably what I needed. I'll try a marathon paced run tomorrow.

Canal banks + Cassia Park - 45:10

First run in 3 days. Came down with a virus and had pretty bad aches, fever, and stomach issues. Made it through the run without having to make any pit stops, but was abnormally sweaty and achy throughout it. Hopefully I'll be back to normal tomorrow. I have a marathon in a month and my training the last month has sucked!
