| Gorgeous day out- 60 degrees. Energy down a little today + feet were sore. Yesterday's hills were pretty rough. Kept it nice and slow with a 10 mile recovery run, never really breaking 9min/mile pace. Ran 2/3 of it on trails...little muddy, but much softer on the feet. | |

| I'm still in the recovery mode from Saturday's run. Headed outside today during lunch and ran 2-miles to the track. Decided to do short spurts of running at different speeds to feel how comfortable different speeds/distances would feel. I haven't been able to run on the track since November, so had no idea of how it would feel...Started by running 1 lap by feel, hoping to keep it a little under marathon pace, maybe 6:15ish pace. Was pleasantly surprised to hit the first lap at 1:26...ran a quarter mile at 1:25 pace for 2-miles, every other lap. Did a 3rd mile, hoping to keep it right around marathon pace. First lap was way too fast...slowed it down a bit and comfortable ran (felt like a jog) a 6:51. This was very encouraging. Anything under 7min last Fall took at least a little bit of work...Jogged 2-miles back to the gym and did 30minutes of weights. Plan on running again in the evening, but not sure yet what pace...will be determined by how I feel... | |

Beautiful day out! Mid 50's and wore short sleeves for the first time since October. Right now I am trying to keep the mileage up (tough finding time in schedule to do so) and inject fast paced miles and mp miles in a way that won't exhaust me. So far, so good. I find myself holding back a bit rather than being exhausted. Jogged 2 miles to the track, ran 2-miles at a comfortably firm pace (6:33, 6:27), ran two miles with a fast quarter every other lap (1:26 avg...very comfortably paced), and jogged 2-miles back to the gym. Could have done double the workout, but had to get back for an appointment. Plan on running again tonight...a dinner at church, but no meetings afterwards.
Got another 7miles in on the TM. Finally starting to get through the other end of a cold, nothing huge, but definitely a bit draining. Ran a progressive run: 9min/mile, 7:10, 6:48, 6:44, 6:39, 6:35, 10 min. | |

Recovery run of 10 miles through the hills...very slow. Tough week...sick, little sleep, lots of meetings, and sore feet. Should get a full night sleep this evening and the sore throat/ear seems to be pretty much gone. | |

Was able to get outside again and ran 2 miles from the gym down to the track. Was able to get 6 marathon pace miles in...
3 miles: 6:51, 6:53, 6:40
- 3 minute break-
2 miles: 6:51, 6:46
- 3 minute break-
1 mile: 6:47
Jogged 2 miles back to the gym at an 8ish pace. Hope to focus most of this month getting used to marathon pace. Most speed work will be short spurts to keep need for recovery time minimal. Also, I have 2 long runs + a 6.5 mile race within this last month of training. | |

Full night's sleep, healthy week of eating, sickness completely gone- feel the best I have in weeks. No running today, rather lifted for 90 minutes. Plan on a 20-miler tomorrow. | |

| Ran with Ed our old standard 20-mile run. It was through very strong hills and we gave it a little stronger push today. Felt good with the effort, running it in 2:29:04 (7:27 pace). Boston doesn't even come close to touching the hills we attacked today. Kept mp on miles 19 and 20 (downhill, then flat) and felt very strong at the end. | |
