AM:  12 miles easy + 4x100m fast strides with drils between reps.

PM: Standard Core Routine + jack knives, inverse planks, and more standard planks.

I went to the pool this evening to go pool running and apparently it was closed because some kid dropped a deuce in the pool and they had to sanitize it.  I was looking forward to my pool run but alas I did some extra core work instead.

Man I love my NB 890s...light, quick, and efficient, they match my stride perfectly.  I just wish they were more durable. Say 600 miles on a pair instead of 400. I felt pretty cruddy this mornig since I ate like shit yesterday.  A lot of beer and doughnuts and not enough salad. I've considered on my run today giving up alcohol until after the half but that doesn't make much sense either. The key is moderation. 2 or 3 instead of 7 or 8.

Damn. You can down 7 or 8?! If I have one drink, my friends stare in amazement. No alcohol for me until after the marathon. It just doesn't do anything positive...

Over the course of 3-4 hours, easily. Before I got back into running I was a pro at downing much more than this. I've been so much healthier since resuming running though but I still over do it when having fun.
