Every year there is that killer hot run and that was today. Did not start until 1030 with G and boy did I feel it from the get go. Was suspose to be a no watch, easy run but of course G without his garmin is impossible. We set out to do 11 but ended up doing 8.5, I had a few too many beers last night, great fun night but really dehydrated this morning.
Always take a positive out of a tough run and today I did not quit and hung on to a pretty good pace, I said to myself pretend its the last few miles of a marathon. I was able to fight off a bit of a stitch as well. All I thought about was a cold G2 and jumping into the pool.
Felt way more than only 8.5 miles.

Learned my lesson yesterday, kept it to a speed workout at the gym. I usually try and knock off a 36-37 10k but it was even humid in the gym. So I decided to do 8 times 800's.
This was a good workout, I kep the intervals to only a minute at 6:40 pace and did the repeats 800's at 5:45 pace (10.4) Great effort because I was really not motivated today at the gym especially after the tough heat run yesterday. The last 2 800's I did a 1600 instead so it was a great finish. Actually ran exactly 30 mins at 5 miles so I was glad I kept all the recoveries to a min or less at marathon pace.
Might run tonight.

Ran 4.5 with Darren at the running club then we all had a drink after over looking the Detroit river, fun night.
Bit of a progressive run, last mile was 6:40
Almost passed on my lunch run today due to a lack of motivation. Found my way on a TM at the gym because I had time to kill before my hair cut.
6 miles, 1st mile I ran quick 5:26 pace, backed off and stuck it out for 6 miles total at 6:28 pace, felt better after 4 miles but the amount of sweat is crazy because even in the gym it is sticky and humid.
Running Miles group tonight. I have decided to take it easy tonight and have the group do a easy run and meet for a social drink, we have not done that as of yet.

Needed the sleep so I did not run early enough to beat the heat but it was really nice out compared to the last few days of humidity. Was nice and steady, miles ranged from 7:22 - 7:00, no pick ups and a couple pit stops for a planted gatorade and I bought a gatorade at a store so it was not continuous but I needed the fuel becaus of the heat. It was 22 degrees for the start but by the end of the run it was 29 degrees real feel so it started to get a bit hot. After the gatorade, I had 6 and half miles to go and surprisingly I felt strong and held at least 7:15 average without a struggle, I also knew if I had to I could pick it up to MP and struggle through it. I just told myseld during the run that when I finish today I could finish a mrathon if I had to and I felt that I could of hung on for a 310 marathon today.
7:13 average - 22 miles | | Comments(2) |

| Pretty close to MP - 219:01 for 20 miles - 6:57 pace. I can't run the 10 mile Crim tomorrow and I did 22 miles on Wed so I did not know what to expect today when I started at 7:45 am. Did not seem humid outside, windy at times but most of it was helping me for the last half of the run and it was nice and sunny. The thing about this long run is in the past if I ran a long run at this pace it was because at 10 miles I did a type of tempo/pick up and really negative split the run but today it was just pretty steady. I again wanted to stop at 20 miles feeling like I could pick it up or keep the pace, at 19 I felt that way but for mile 20 I really tanked because it was into a solid wind and I knew I was almost home and was so dry because I did not hydrate out there as well as I should of, only a half of a gatorade. Anyhow, its the first time I have done 2 long runs so close together, makes up for missing my favorite race the CRIM. Brian I am almost like you this week. | | Comments(4) |
