AM: 1.5 hour pool run

PM: 9 miles easy

testing adding more pool running and less land running. may stick with this during marathon training. We'll see how it goes. Felt great running home from work today. The weather was better as it was much less humid. The heat returns soon but then I'll be in Maine

Long pool run Wednesdays it is. I'll be training more but you'll see a little less miles.

AM: 8 easy + standard core routine, stretch, foam rolling

PM: 6 with 1 mile barefoot

tired today I think mostly because of the sheer volume of aerobic exercise I put in yesterday, at 2.5 hrs+. My leg muscles are tired but not sore since I pool ran. I believe this is a very good thing. Only many weeks of walking that fine line between recovery/adaption and pushing the hard days will reveal what I'll be able to adapt to successfully. I still have a couple weeks before the big mileage starts.

PM: off. way too hot to run again

Felt fine at first but my tiredness caught up to me and I was only able to get 6 reps in. The tiredness starts now, and it won't go away for awhile. The trick is getting used to it. The body has an amazing ability to adapt as long as you take care of it. That's the main goal. I'm going to Maine tomorrow to escape the killer heat dome that will put heat indexes well over 100 degrees for the next week down here.
