Easy run tonight, except for the fact that the back still hurts. Maintained the pace for an hour, more or less, and the gluteus medius hurt every step of the way. But got through ti. It's about time to start increasing my weekly mileage toward the start of marathon training in a couple of weeks.
Reading Hudson's book now, BTW. We'll see if it makes sense to me, enough to try it. |

| Hard progression run tonight on the dreadmill. Started at sub-9 pace, then about 8:20, and the last 2.6 miles at GMP. Actually had intended to do 7 miles in about an hour, but extended it another mile and 6.5 minutes. Back felt pretty good tonight, better than the legs felt. I'm gonna need a lot of runs like this in the next four-plus months to get ready for Memphis. |

| One of those runs where the plan changes in midstream. Had intended an easy 4-miler around the neighborhood (or as easy as the local hills would permit). But I got turned around a bit in the Calico Creek section, took a couple of wrong turns, found myself back on Calico Creek when I didn't want to be, and figured out that this one wasn't going to go according to plan. After a couple more wrong turns, I finally got back where I'd wanted to go from the start, and by this time I'd actually kinda gotten into a groove. So I decided to stretch this run out a bit. Wasn't going to go real long, in part because I started at 8:15 and it was rather humid after two days of rain, but a little longer than 4. Wound up being a smidge over 6 in 57:42. Hills, surprisingly, were not an issue, although the humidity was. Tech shirt was soaked (imagine if I'd worn cotton). |

| Quick 4 on the TM before work today. May or may not get in a short run tonight. Have a lot of thinking to do -- finally got an offer from NWA last night. |

Took the job offer last night, so that load is off my mind. Now to the run. Met the Crackheads at the Arts Center this morning. It was relatively cool, but humid, and rain was in the forecast by about 9. I hoped it wouldn't take that long, and sure enough, it started raining around 7, at which time I was about to turn around on Kavanaugh up near Cantrell. Put the hammer down on the downhill; all of the last 6 mile splits were under 9, mostly in the 8:30s and 8:20s. ended up basically running a 20K in 1:51:41, averaging sub-9 for the whole run. And the rain felt REALLY good. Good way to jump off into the Hudson plan, which I now have to figure when when I'm going to start it.
Anyway, job won't start until maybe October, so I have two months to work out details, find a place to live, etc. |
