First taste of marathon pace and in this weather it sucks. Pretty dehydrated despite drinking loads of water this morning. It's just too humid for this type of workout. shoes were soaked that the end of the three, making it tougher.

Workout started pretty damn slowly. We were all a little beat up after Sunday. I felt good on the fourth rep and debated doing a 5th but since I'm running 21 miles Friday morning before work, we thought better of it.

AM: 21 mile progression run. 1.5 CD to work. 

PM: 45 min pool run. Too tired to go longer.

early, cooler today. Longest run since Philly marathon last November. My legs were just too heavy to go with Greg when he broke away at mile 17-18. Just out of juice to break 5:30. I belive this is because of the high volume of training that I've been doing. I've got to get used to very long runs again.

Noon: 13 miles around Jamaica Pond in Boston. Bill Rodgers used to run hundreds of laps of this pond while preparing for his international breakthrough. It's a nice little place to run with packed dirt and fine gravel. Beautiful low humidity weather too. For the first time in months my shorts weren't wet when I finished.

That's 106.5 land miles for the week (slightly inflated due to two long runs in one week) + 19.5 pool "miles" for a total volume of 126--some serious mileage
