I planned to run a 10 miler on the TM.  I woke up late and only pulled 8 miles.  After work I will be heading out the door for another three. 

My body is still tired from the 22 on Sat.  But I want to pull a high-milage week. 

Goals for Boston:

1.  Get a lot of rest.  8 hours of sleep every night.  Give adequate rest between workouts.

2.  Listen to my body.  If I feel aches or pains; give them all my attention.

3.  Slowly build milage weekly.

4.  Eat healthy to fuel my body. 

Feel free to give me any other suggestions. 

After work I went outside and just ran a steady, relaxed 3 miles.

Warmed up on the indoor track about 1.5 miles.  I felt like I was running in circles.  After I was dizzy I ran 5.5 miles on the TM.  I told myself that today was a recovery day.  I was proud of myself for going so slow. 

PC Day 1/Week 3  18, 16, 15, 15, 20.  Worked on core.

2 miles on the lame track at the gym.  I usually get there by 5:40 a.m. and all of the TM's are taken.  Put another 7 miles on the next available TM. 

Later tonight I will do a 5k outside.  Gotta get the miles in!

Next week I will be going outside to run/  I think that it will be light and warm enough to run outside.  I'm getting sick of the terrible TM's at the gym!

I went to the gym later with a friend.  When I run with friends it motivates me to run fast.  I did a 5k in no time.  I didn't time myslef, but I was going at a 5k race pace! 

After we lifted weights.

Rest day, rest day, rest day!  Waking up at 7:30 is so nice...I love the one day during the week I don't have to run.  Yoga or bike tonight!  I will also be doing week 3/day 2 of PC.

Fast pace.  Most miles below 8 min miles.  I need to remember to spare some energy for the long run tomorrow.

I'm going to miss my new running buddies from last week.  Long 18 miler by myself.

I was planning on 18 today.  The route I chose to do is an out and back course.  The first half is at a gradual 1.5%  to 3% uphill grade.  The second half is coming down that.  I was fine utnil about mile 13.  Then I had some really strange pains going on in my right IT band.  I slowed my pace to 9:20 min miles.  Pain intensified and the last mile I walked back to my car.  :(

I don't know if it is all the stress from so many miles, worn down shoes, or because I was running on the slope of the road.  Probably all of these aspects played into my run. 

Later I took an extremely cold ice-bath.
