10 X 400 meter @ 7:30 pace 1% incline 100 meter rest This was very hard again.

I noticed that my lungs never seem to burn, or I guess I don't get tired cardiovascularly but my legs seem to turn to noodles near the end. What kind of training should I be doing so my legs can get as strong as my cardo?

Lifted bicep, triceps and abs

This seemed to be harder than it should be again today. Legs feel thrashed. I hope the taper next week will put me in race shape!

Recovery day 3 miles at 9:13 (6.5) 1% incline. Legs didn't feel any better they were very heavy. However when I lifted my normal weights they felt much stronger and I could do more reps weird right!

Lifted - all over legs

Spin class - Neighbor was in class so I had to "race" him really dumb thing to do on a recovery day... when will I stop being so competitive?

6 miles on the elliptical. Because my legs have been dead I used 9% resistance rather than 11% My legs feel like I got a great workout I am glad I made that choice.

Lifted for arms and back

Yoga

10.5 they were not all marathon pace miles but they were not easy either. I met up with the SDRR ran 6 on my own before they got there. Ate one GU (yuck!) had some water, then headed out for 4.5 more. The last 4.5 I wanted to go fast so I asked Laura the to pace me. We went out too fast but I could hang with her for the most part After two mile she wanted to go check on the back of the pack and left me to try and pace myself. I noticed when ever I get tried my body goes right to a 9:30 pace. I really need to concentrated if I am going to go faster. I am not sure how Painters will go next week Here are my three goals

Happy 2:00:00

Thrilled 1:55:00

Ecstatic 1:53:00

Here are my splits for today 8:55, 9:03, 8:57, 9:11, 9:04, 8:51, 8:17, 8:12, 8:34, 9:29,
