| Easy miles on the tready at the gym, 1% incline at around 8:20 pace. I much prefer running outside, but it was 25 degrees with some serious wind, and I didnt want my face frozen off. Did the majority of my first strength workout, targeted to my gluts. Already feel the difference; Im experiencing no more hamstring twinges at all. I think the exercises serve to release the piriformis, as much as it does strengthen; and that in turn gives all the muscle around the sciatic nerve a rest. Includes: squats, jump squats, lunges, jump lunges, deadlifts (light weights), single-leg squats and jump-squats, core work (push ups, crunches, planks, plank-rows), burpees and upper body strength stuff combined with some squats and one-legged balance work. I finished it all except the burpees, as I knew my core and quads were plenty worked out by the end, and I was too fatigued to carry on.

| Speed! Treadmill, 1% incline. 8x600s at 6:22 (5k ish pace I think) with 400m jog recoveries. This was surprisingly hard! Not quite as quickly over as the 400m repeats, but almost as fast....looking forward to the slightly longer slower repeats coming up on the plan - I forgot (from training for Vegas) how hard these things are. I was totally freaking out (unnecessarily) about it all day. Its the only workout I allow myself to listen to music to! But done and done.

| Tready run-lunch....runch! Ooph, this was a hard one. Five-mile tempo. 1% incline. 2 miles easy, 2miles @ 7:19, 2 miles @ 7:13, 1 mile @ 7:08, 1 mile easy. Not sure why this felt so hard. Running on the treadmill is easier for speed, I feel, but absolutely blows on tempo running.7:08 felt like 6:50 outside. Thinking about readjusting marathon goal. Not sure where to aim for. Without wanting to inflate myself, my racing times just dont reflect my fitness right now, Im sure of it. Then again, I really dont feel like I can run 7:10 for 26.2! Any other ways to test preparedness to run the big one at a certain pace? I need another race soon to test my fitness!

| Easy miles, around 8:30. Running a half marathon tomorrow, so wanted to take it easy. I'll be running it as a long run, not racing. I decided this at the beginning of the week, because my legs are fatigued from the training Ive done so far, and racing this would definitely take me out of commission for at least a week. Plus, this way I can run it with a friend, and dont have to worry about all the nutrition/bathroom etc stuff you normally do for a race. Oh yeah, and did I mention that its around Central Park (ie really hilly) and there were 25mph winds forecast? May have had something to do with my decision :)
