63F, 100%, foggy. 7:59 AP. 8-minute pace seemed like an effort today.
Didn't run yesterday, my wife was out of town this weekend (after my race) and I had the kids by myself, so my first MP run of this cycle will be tomorrow. I probably needed the day off anyway, it's been well over a month since my last one. Looking to do 16 w/10 tomorrow. Also looking to keep it under 6:50 pace this time around. Hopefully this doesn't suck too bad. | |

59F, N 11 mph. 7:13 AP.
16 w/10 @ MP. Suceeded in keeping it below 6:50....my AP was 6:49.5. Legs were still in fatigue mode but I thought it would be good to go ahead and do an endurance run while they were tired like this.
The 6 easy were in the 7:50s, with the 10 MP just below a 6:50 avg (6:49, 6:34, 7:00, 6:49, 6:42, 6:39, 6:54, 6:53, 7:01, 6:52)
The last 3 or 4 were painful, felt like the end of a marathon. I know the next MP runs will go better, because I will make sure I am more rested, but I am definitely in a hole right now and need to take it easy for the rest of the week. Still going to call it a successful workout though, because it was. | |

57F, 8:36 AP. Felt better today, but I got 7.5 hours of sleep which was unusually nice. I think lack of sleep may be contributing to my inability to recover from hard efforts.
Anyway, I registered for Boston last night! Or applied anyway - we shall see if BQ minus 4 will do it. | |

AM1 - 59F, 6.43 miles @ 8:32 AP.
AM2 - 77F. Snuck out for 4 miles on the jogging path before lunch. Forgot my watch, but it's marked every quarter mile so at least I got the distance part right. |

76F, 8:30 AP. Short recovery run, so I could get back to help with our oldest, who is throwing up every 30 minutes.
Weird thing on this run - I was up for 3 or 4 hours before I left and didn't eat anything (whoops). Thus, a bit after 2 miles, I started to feel weak and low-blood-sugary and hungry. My pace dropped to about 9:30 and I was wondering if I was going to even make it home without walking. Then about 10 minutes later it went away and my energy was back. Made it home and felt like I wanted to run more...like it never happened. Explain that one..
Definitely need to stuff myself between now and tomorrow morning (21-miler). | |
