Noon run, sunny, temp 60'

My legs were a little sore and tight but luckily they let me run ok.  I thought I'd try to get just under 8 min. miles and I was able to do that without much problem.  I'm shooting for 40 miles this week as I just got a lucky invite to the SGM.  I'm hoping the quick ramp up to 40 miles won't cause any injuries.    The temperature was great for a noon jog.

Noon run, partly sunny, temp 67'

I wanted to do a run between 7 & 7:30 miles.  I'm trying to do a somewhat aggressive week to get ready for the SGM.  I'm hoping I don't burn out.  My legs we a little tight and sore but they let me run once I got going.  I don't think running the SGM with this kind of training is a smart thing to do but it sounded like fun to see some running buddies.

Had a good run. 

I'm increasing my miles as everyone else is tappering.  Better watch out Tom and Paul and Cal I'm getting faster every day.

I've pushed myself pretty hard this week trying to get right on the edge of running to much to fast for my conditioning.  My legs were tired but not sore so I pushed them again today.  I emailed the SGM and they emailed back and said I'm IN.  Big thanks to Larry!  I've been eating unusually healthy trying to do whatever I can to get ready for the big race.  I miss my evening bowl of Ice Cream.

Morning run, Temp 60-65'

I started at 6:30AM and only had the sun on me the last 5 miles.  I wanted to run at marathon pace today and see how my legs would hold out.  They did good.  I was definatley tired when I finished and I doubt my legs would hold up for another 12 miles but we'll have to wait and see for next week.  Hopefully,  I haven't worn out my legs this week trying to get ready for the SGM.  I ran 42 miles in an average of 7:21 miles.  The prior 3 weeks I've only run 52 miles.  Not a good way to train for a marathon.  But I'm excited for the fun of the race.
