61F, 8:25 AP. Did a short, easy run before church. Can't tell too much from a recovery pace, except on the uphills I think I felt better. Probably will do about the same thing tomorrow and then start testing the waters a little more.
**put this on the wrong day - Sunday is correct |

| 57F, 7:38 AP. Ok, better. Felt a little breathy, if that makes sense, but no more broken-down feeling. The out-of-breath feeling should go away in a few days as I get back in shape. I'll probably do a couple more easy aerobic runs, then maybe some MP on Friday if that all goes ok. whew. |

63F, 88%, SSW 13-17 mph. 7:50 AP. Two steps back today, felt really sluggish. Worked my way down to 7:40 pace or so and could not even hold it. Finished up with an 8:20 mile and a side stitch (from going so fast I guess). Hmm, I don't know. Feels like this cycle (and sub-3) is slipping away from me. I'm supposed to be running 26.2 miles at 6:50 pace in 1 month. Other than not being able to run, everything feels fine -- I'm not getting any less sleep than usual, eating is normal, no high-stress stuff at work, etc.
I think I will still try an MP run on Friday. Just 6 miles, I think. If I can't do 6 @ MP, I kinda need to know that. Then we'll see what to do. I paid for the marathon already, so I'm going, even if I have to run 3:30. |

48F, 7:18 AP. I ran the last 6 at MP: 6:49, 6:48, 6:44, 6:43, 6:50, 6:47. 6:47 AP overall. Good news/bad news kind of day.
The good news is that I accomplished my goal of going under GMP every mile split.
The bad news is it felt terrible. Pretty uncomfortable the last 2 miles.
The good news is my AP was a good 5 seconds under what I need for sub-3.
The bad news is that it was for less than a quarter of a marathon.
The good news is that I have not even attempted sub-7 in a couple weeks, so there is bound to be some rust.
The bad news is that a month or two ago, I ran this same 6-mile stretch in 6:30 AP and it felt about the same effort.
So in conclusion, the bad news is that I am still not where I need to be but the good news is that I have 4 weeks to get there. |

| 53F, 8:08 AP. Slept in a little and hopefully caught up on some sleep. I actually ran during daylight hours - it was weird being able to see where I was going. I liked it. |
