"In truth, runners don't race other runners. They race against themselves: to conquer their wills, to transcend their weaknesses, to beat back their nightmares. And while a runner can't actually beat himself, he can beat his time. Even years into running, he can get better." Running for His Life by Michael Hall.

| | Good TM run this evening. Started slow and ended strong. Starting out my marathon training this week based on a Runner's World plan. |

| | Tempo Run: 1M warmup; 4M @ 7:40/mi pace; cooldown. I was surprised that I could hold that pace as well as I did. Been a long time since I even tried to run hard. Felt good. |

| | Speed work: 1M warmup; 1M @ 7:08/mi; .5M jog; .5M @ 7:08/mi; cool down. I was supposed to do 2 mile repeats of 7:08/mi but I was really laboring on the second and had to cut it short. This was the fastest I've ever run on a TM (8.4 mph). |

| | Long, slow run today. Felt much better this week although I did tire after 9M. I attribute that to the route which had a lot of mini-hills between miles 3 and 8. |

| | Slow, easy run on TM. Despite my better judgment, I registered for Robie Creek 1/2 today. I guess I didn't learn my lesson but if this doesn't light a fire under my arse nothing will. |

| | Lunchtime tempo run on the greenbelt. Warmup, 4M @ 7:42, and cooldown. Weather was perfect for running outdoors w/ temp in the high 40's, overcast and no wind. |

| | Easy run on TM. Left heel is really sore. Not painful while I run but I'm wondering if that's because I've altered my stride/foot fall to compensate? |

| | Easy and short TM run. Saving some energy for tomorrow's long run which hopefully won't be shortcuited by my campout w/ the Boy Scouts tonight. |

| | Finally getting over this horrible head cold I developed after taking the Boy Scouts camping in the snow over the weekend. 4M of light hill work on the TM (topping out at 4% incline). |

640AM: 5 easy miles on the TM; a little sore from last night's late hill training. Starting two-a-days today to make up for Monday and Tuesday. I'll try to continue them through the marathon in early May.
9PM: some light core work followed by 5 easy miles on the TM; bad blister on the top of one of my toes that bled horribly. Who knew that you could bleed so much from such a tiny little cut? |

| | Long, slow easy run in the rain. Felt really good for the first 10 but I really struggled after that. Partly from poor fitness, partly from being water logged and partly due to an enormous stomach ache. |
