Not really a very good run but I finished. I was hoping to run below 7:30 but that sure wasn't happening. It was hot, humid and windy and I labored to even keep this pace.

8.5 miles on the TM in the hot gym today. I was planning on running on the elliptical but two out of three were broken and someone beat me to the one that worked.

Cross-training today - 9 miles Elliptical.
I'm going to try and jump back into my actual training schedule tomorrw with a 7 mile tempo run and a 20 miler on Saturday. I am calling my knee "good" now since almost all of the pain has gone away. Just like the last bone spur it took 5 weeks to heal and although very painful for a while went away quickly.
Revelation 21:4
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." |

Okay, I jumped back into my training schedule today. This run is a set up for a 20 miler on Saturday. I seemed to be feeling pretty good and was able to run a little faster than what was on the schedule and without too much stress. We'll see how the Saturday run goes. My knee problem has almost completly gone away.
It was cold today at 29 degrees!

Target:
Tempo Run - 1 Mile Easy, 7 Miles @ 7:26.
Note: The first 2-3 miles I didn't think I would do very well on this run but the further I went the more confident I got.
My heart monitor is not working so I don't have that data :-(
Felt good after the run. |

Job 38:29
22-30 “Have you ever traveled to where snow is made,
seen the vault where hail is stockpiled,
The arsenals of hail and snow that I keep in readiness
for times of trouble and battle and war?
Can you find your way to where lightning is launched,
or to the place from which the wind blows?
Who do you suppose carves canyons
for the downpours of rain, and charts
the route of thunderstorms
That bring water to unvisited fields,
deserts no one ever lays eyes on,
Drenching the useless wastelands
so they’re carpeted with wildflowers and grass?
And who do you think is the father of rain and dew,
the mother of ice and frost?
You don’t for a minute imagine
these marvels of weather just happen, do you?

Target:
Long Run - 20 Miles @ 7:41
Note: This was a successful run. My HR stayed lower than I think it ever has on a long run like this. My legs didn't seem to get stiff at the end. I tried to drink plenty of gatorade early in the run and too a gu at 7 and 14.
This was the same run as last week with a 28 second per mile improvement.

My knee is not going to give me any trouble in the marathon in a few weeks. I believe it is 100% now. I wasn't really looking forward to this 20 miler but now that it's over I'm very happy with the results. My confidence is now building again. The weather was perfect at 40 degrees when I started but rose to about 52 before I finished. I ran my 7 mile loop 3X again today. I tried to be conservitive on the first loop, pick up the pace/effort throughout the seceond and third loops. My longest mile was 8:28 and my fastest mile was 7:03. The longer miles are because I have some pretty long hills that sometimes slow me down and also in some points of the run I just wasn't feeling it and so I just slowed down until I was comfortable again.
My average pace for this run was 7:43 and my HR was 152. 152 is really good for me on such a long run. I did press on the last three miles and my HR jumped to above 160 but that's understandable because that's where the hills are and the last mile I was pushing pretty hard.
Now after the run, I feel really good for just finishing a 21 mile run.
Oh, I forgot to mention I ran 21 instead of 20 just because I felt like it and my fastest mile was the last one :-)
I can't cut and paste the spreadsheed details using this tablet but I'll do it Monday when I get to work. |
