MORNING

I did a nice tempo run this morning.  1 mile warm up, 5 miles at 6:30, 1 mile cool down.  The good part is I felt like I could keep going a while after finishing the 5 fast miles.  I'm training like I will be running Painters.  I ran it by my wife last night and she was good with it, so I'm now 99% sure I'll be running it.

EVENING

30 min plyometrics

MORNING

Got up and ran a nice recovery run.  6.8miles avg pace 8:30 last mile did 10, 10 sec hill sprints.  Since I started going 2 a day I've had some incredible energy.  I'm wondering when it is going to catch up with me.

EVENING

45 mins ArcTrainer.   It's like an eliptical machine, but has a longer stride length.  That was a tough workout.

MORNING

I got up and headed to the track for some speed work this morning

1 mile warm up

400m  1:25

800m  2:55

1200m 4:34

1600m  6:13

1600m  6:10

1200m  4:39

800m  3:05

400m  1:17

I did a 400m recovery jog after each repeat.  I was slower than I'd like to have been this morning, but the workout felt good.  I think last night's workout was a bit more than I've been doing in the evenings and that left my legs a little heavy this morning.

Total Run 8 miles,  Avg. Pace 7:47

EVENING

20 mins jump rope

5 mins ab work

HyperSpeed Miles: 8.00

MORNING

This morning I headed to the gym for a full body workout. I am feeling pretty lean lately, but my weight is still at 160. I was thinking that maybe I've been doing to much heavy upper body work for a marathon runner, so I decided to do my lower body workout like normal with abs and lower back work, but then instead of doing my normal upper body work I just did pull ups and pushups. Maybe I won't bulk up as much doing that and can loose a few more pounds. I really want to make a serious run at going sub 3 at Boston this year and every pound will count. After my resistance work I did a hard 30 mins on the eliptical. Felt great!

EVENING

30 mins low intensity plyometrics.  Didn't want to over do it since I'm going 15 miles bright and early tomorrow.
