Just getting over the flu.  This is my first run of 2009.  My legs are super sore now.

Today was supposed to be my tempo work.  However, I was not able to run all my miles at the pace that I was supposed to which was -30 of my marathon pace (8 mpm).  I was able to run the other ones at around 7:17.

My last long run since my first marathon.  I ran with Eddy today, and we were kind of pulling each other.  We started off at around 8:15, but finished the last 4-6 miles with negative splits of around 7:45.

Tapering week.  Ran 5 miles.  First mile warm up, 3 tempo, and last one cool down.

I was supposed to run 4 miles today, but my friend Jaime had to run 8 miles.  Therefore, we kind of agreed that 6 miles was good enough for both. 

First mile was our warm up mile then we ran 4 tempo miles (avg of 7:40mpm), then the last one was our cool down mile.

Ran my first marathon (Miami ING).  I did great during my first half (on average of 8:20 pace).  However, then my legs started to cramp at around mile 16, so it all went down hill from there.  I had to walk most of the remaining 10 miles.  I finished with a time of 4:34 minutes.  Way above the time that I wanted to make.  Well but I guess that we all live and learn.  I did many things leading up to this race.  The last 5 weeks of my training I slacked off way too much.  I missed my two 22 milers, and I also missed my 8 miles 2 weeks before the race.  Also I did not hydrate enough the days before the race.  Now I know that I am not 20 anymore.
