"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.

| | Afternoon loop run on the GB. 7 miles w/ average of goal MP of 8:12, including warmup mile. My legs felt real light after a couple of days off. Started up w/ a slow 8:45 mi and then settled into a nice, fairly relaxed pace but for a brisk headwind when I was running east and out in the open near Warm Springs Golf Course. Miles 2-7: 8:07; 8:08; 8:11; 8:05; 8:00; 8:10. |

| | Evening run @ Half Mara pace of 7:57 (splits = 7:52, 7:55, 8:06, 8:05, 7:54, 7:56, 7:39(.58M)). Perfect weather w/ temp in low 60's and overcast. I tried to concentrate on proper posture and breathing. It seems like my arms are always creeping up toward my shoulders. Kinda awkward like that scene in Talladega Nights after Ricky Bobby wins his first race and gets interviewed for the first time and he doesn't know quite what to do w/ his hands. Kinda like that. |

Afternoon easy run on the GB from FF Memorial to Lake Harbor and back. Took yesterday off as I begin to taper my mileage down to 35 mi this week. I'll do a short run tomorrow and then something around 12 miles on Saturday. Next week will be short runs on Mon, Wed and Fri next week for a total of about 15 mi. I forgot my Ipod today and I almost felt naked at first but then I got over it. I think there's a trade off w/ the Ipod. It can be distracting when you're fatigued and provide a temporary bump in energy. But then again it also keeps me from focusing on breathing and proper form. I'm sort of conflicted as to whether I'll run w/ it next Saturday.
Very windy today but temp was near perfect (60 degrees). Ran the first 5 @ even 8:23 pace; mile 6 @ 7:32; .5M cooldown; overall 8:15 pace. |

| | Easy lunchtime run on the GB @ overal 8:15 pace. Very nice weather today w/ less wind but still a little breezy. I've got a boatload of honey do's, kids stuff and a Mother's Day date tomorrow so its gonna be a real challenge to get my run in tomorrow. |

| | Afternoon loop run w/ some rollers and a short but steep hill. Weather was a bit warmer than I've been running in this year- temp around 73-75 degrees w/ bright sunshine. 8:05 overall pace (splits- 8:33; 8:23; 8:03; 7:50; 7:50; 7:54; 8:05; 8:08; 8:02; 8:08; 7:56 (.75 mi)); I'll run some short workouts on Mon, Wed and Fri just to stay sharp. I hope I feel this sharp next Saturday. |
