32F. 7:12 AP. Today was my fast-finish long run.
First 17 easy to moderate, averaged 7:25/mile.
Last 5 @ 6:27 AP. 6:33, 6:35, 6:28, 6:24, 6:15.
My local Heartbreak Hill was in miles 19-20 (tempo miles 2 and 3) and I put forth my biggest effort going up the long hill today, keeping it around 6:30. I think hills are a weakness for me, and hills at mile 20 are a magnified weakness, so I took advantage of fresh legs (from the recovery week) and hit all the uphills in the tempo portion pretty hard today. |

AM: 41F, NNE 15 mph. light rain. 6 @ 9:02 AP. Lucked out as there was heavy rain right before and after this run but I got a little window of less weather. Legs a little mushy from the 22-miler.
PM: 32F, NNW 26-36 mph, sideways stinging snow. Why does all the precipitation here have to sting? 4 @ 8:26 AP. Better than rain, I guess, although my face and neck was all red from the tiny flying snowflake daggers. |

AM: 33F, NW 17-27 mph. 6 @ 8:40 AP. Legs still pretty beat up from Sunday, so I shortened this run to my standard recovery distance. Hoping to do speed work on Thursday but I should be careful about piling up too much and getting into a hole, since I am going to do 13.1 at race effort on Sunday. Going to play it by ear, I think.
PM: 38F. 4 @ 8:29 AP. |

AM: nothing. Forgot to turn on my alarm. This time, I'm not going to make up the miles though, since it was probably for the best. I still have soreness from Sunday; maybe getting over this cold has something to do with the extra recovery time needed. Anyway, I'll get in a short run this evening and maybe some pared down speed work tomorrow.

30F. 7:30 AP. Mostly easy, with a 10 x 1 min on/off on the way home. Didn't take down the paces, but they were ~3k-5k effort.
My legs still ain't quite right. Just as I was touting my improvement in recovery time... I do think trying to run the 22-miler fast finish while being sick might have contributed. Anyway, it's a pretty shallow hole and I'm pretty confident I can climb out with a couple more easy days, and still put out a pretty good (99%) effort in the HM on Sunday. |
