Running on Empty

I have been lurking for sometime -- too long. Although I need to get my Garmin out for splits, I do remember going through the half in 1:41. By that time my right leg began to have issues (I was compensating for a sore right big toe) and I could tell that I was under-trained. Rather than risk injury, and with no real motivation since I could see 3:20 was not going to materialize, I eased way on in to a 3:53 finish. Very disappointing. As usual, I need to get more serious and recognize that the lack of accountability from my failure to report on the blog hindered my development.

Before the run I did meet Jon, and spotted a bunch of you other fastrunningbloggers -- nice sweats.

One hour on home elliptical. Will log equivalent of 6 very easy miles.

One hour on elliptical.  6 mile equivalent.

Six miles at the gym on the treadmill.  Easy pace.

Only snuck in 4 miles today, but better than none.

7 miles with varying elevations, then 3.25 faster than marathon pace.

3.5 miles and then one hour step class, equivalent for logging purposes totaling 9.5 miles.

4.5 plus one hour Functional Integrated Training class.
