In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner. I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled. The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon. 6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

After a warm-up, I kept it below 7min/mile for a decent marathon pace workout. 7:10 overall avg. Did pushup repeats intermixed with about 0.3 mile repeats at marathon pace. Did 20,17,15,13 . I still feel tired.

Ran the trails and did easy hill repeats with pushup repeats (20,15,15,13,17). Its starting to cool down which feels nice. Next week its really going to cool down. I'm hoping to get in runs to and from work again while I can still do it mostly in daylight. I think I'll start with one day per week (2X9 = 18 miles) and maybe get up to two by late October. One of legs will be a marathon or tempo pace run)

Garmin battery went dead. Left it on all night. I missed it for awhile but got over it. Ran easy on the trails and roads at work. Felt a little weak- nutrition most likely. Ate breakfast before 6am and didn't get out for my run until 12:45 with nothing to eat in between.

Took the morning off so Liza could go get a facial. I'll spend time with Elliott and also go to lunch with Fiona at school. They are serving Crispito with Cheese and I have to find out what that is.

Warmed up for a mile and then did a tempo run (2.8 miles) consisting of negative split 4 laps (0.7mi each) paces were 6:51,6:45,6:36,6:32 felt good. Temps were in the 50's.

Ran three on the roads at Hickory Hills. Jon met me and we ran 10 more. Chased three hot air baloons and finally caught them at the Priceville City Hall after 3.5 miles and a jaunt through a corn field. Larry Fuller from work was one of the three. Nice calm morning for baloon flying. We stuck around for 5 minutes and pretended to help but they had it under control. We worked our way over to Bethel and then then ran back to the Hickory Hills boat launch via the wildlife refuge jeep road. I was pretty tired out when i got back. Did 27 PU's in parking lot and then did another 15. I may try to do a few more sets now that I'm at home while I'm cooking chicken on the grill. We plan to watch Run Fat Boy Run this PM with the elmores.
