| Started out tonight as an easy run, legs felt good, got bored and cranked it up to MP. Since my problem seems to be holding MP for 26 miles, I guess I need more MP miles. So we start that process tonight. No problems at all. |

| Now that I have the 25th anniversary out of the way and the kid's registered for college classes, I can focus on running a little more. Tonight, battling the humidity on the River Trail for a hard 6 miler -- negative split, last mile at tempo pace, 80-plus degrees at 80% humidity. I'd say the battle was a tie. Got a good run in, but it really kicked me hard. If I'm gonna do good 5Ks this summer, though, I need tough runs like this. Next week, I probably start doing some reps at the East Campus track toward that end. |

New addition to the Spiderpig training arsenal: Five miles on the dreadmill -- every bit of it uphill at least 2%, most of it 4-5-6-8%. And progression style to boot, ending with MP for the last mile. The glutes were objecting a little bit, but not too badly, and now an hour later they're not barking. We'll see if they growl in the morning when I run with the Crackheads. Speaking of which, I guess I'll reluctantly go to Maumelle to run. Hate running out there, but at least it's a lot cooler after a front blew through this afternoon accompanied by thunder and more than one twister.
Looking now like a move to NWA is at least a possibility. We'll see what develops from here. |

| Out to Maumelle today to run with the Crackheads. Tom and Hobbit are just back from Spain and were leading the motley crew again. Normally I don't run well at Maumelle, and we always seem to catch some weird weather, usually humid, but today wasn't too bad. It was about 70, bit of a breeze. Still good sweating weather but not intolerable. Plan was to run 8, and I started out slowly. Got to the turnaround point and the Garmin said 4.36. I said if I'm gonna run 8.72 I might as well make it 9, so I kept going across the boulevard, then turned around and came back. Tried to push the pace more on the return trip per usual, and U think I did so. Got back and the Garmin read 9.04 in 1:24 and change. Not a bad run for two weeks after a marathon and 12 hours after a treadmill hill run. I did feel some discomfort in the right hip, but not where I thought I would have hurt after a hill run. Was able to push through it, and now after my nap the hip doesn't seem to hurt, so not sure what that was about. Anyway, back up to 25 miles this week. Start my 5K training plan , maybe, next week. |
