| Long run, I ended up running all over the place to make up the miles. One of the nicest thing about my Garmin 405 is that I don't need to ever plan distances for my runs. I have rough ideas of my various loops and the watch lets me adjust to get the distance. I love it!!. Managed to average a pace 7:55. Ate a butt load of ice cream after and none of my pants fit anymore. I love it!, lost 35# since memorial day last year and have another 16 to go to get my goal of 158!. super pumped

Ran 6 miles with Ralphie outside @ 7:50 pace. I think Spring is finally here for good in Western NY! Shin is still a little sore and I iced it as a preventative measure. Sometimes, especially when tired, I really let the pace drag. I should be running about 20 sec/mile faster, I gotta keep up on that. It's about time that I get new shoes. I usually change at about 300 miles. I know it's probably overzealous but I like to change early, especially since I'm fatter right now, to avoid potentially injury. I've ran in the 20xx series for about the last 8 years. I have not really tried any other brands so I was thinking about branching out, but not sure what to try. I run 30-60miles a week and I'm 5-7 and about 175 pounds (hope to get down to 160). I have pretty normal arches but do overpronate quite a bit. Any suggestions would be hot!

20 mile trail run in prep for my marathon. It was pretty rough and I was disappointed with my pace.
The trails were a total sloppy brutal mudhole for about 50% of it. I was
muddy from my knees down, had water in my shoes and got a shoe
sucked off at one point. I ran 19.6 miles with 1900 feet elevation
change. It was about 3:45 total time. My pace was 11:45 with
everything and 10:45 if I remove the stopped time I spent staring at
mudholes and looking for trails markers. I'm glad it had some good
elevation changes, it's what my daily runs are lacking the most
The last 4 miles sucked a bunch with blisters
and bonkage. I eat 100cals of energy blocks every 5 miles but I should probably up that. Running on the trails were nice and soft for my legs but me knee is still kinda sore. I gotta stretch out my hamstrings (when they get tight it bothers my knees).

6 mile run at the indoor track at school. I didn't feel like being cold while running. 1/2 warm up 5 miles at 7:15 1/2 cool down Pretty good overall, knee was a lil sore. Didn't help that it was the side knee on the track (6 laps/mile).

Long run in the rain. Drove to a local park to get some running done on the hill. Since it rained all week I wasn't about to try a trail run giving the condition I knew they would be in. Sadly, it rained on my most of my run but it was warm so I managed not to get too cold. Did 20 miles @ 8:22pace with 1400feet elevation gain. The first 17 mile were very good but the last 3 were a lil-rough. You can see it in my pace, it starts to go all over the place instead of real steady like earlier in the run, but overall it was good.
These 20 milers are real confidence boosters. If I can suffer through 20 miles in the middle of my training, adding 6 more after a taper should be super doable!

| It's like 70 out (too hot too early) and sunny. Ran 5 easy miles with ralphie @ 8:20. It was way too hot for him and we had to cut it short so he wouldn't overheat. My legs felt like lead and I need a vacation. 30 days until the Sehgahunda trail marathon. I have 2-3 big weeks left before my taper. I hope I survive the race, we'll see if the training was enough.
