| I ran 8 miles at 8:00 pace average on the treadmill. It was a little hard but not too bad. After the run, I have felt especially good. And for the first time in a week and a half, I ran in the morning, so that's good. |

| This morning I woke up with one of those sore throats where you feel like you have been pushing yourself too hard (not enough sleep, too busy) and it finally catches up to you. With my wife's encouragement, I slept an extra 90 minutes. Then I caught the early bus home and ran before dinner. This was my best speed workout of the year. I decided to try 2000 meter repeats. I'd never tried them before, but they sounded like they would be good for mental and physical strengthening. I did a mile warmup, then 4x2000 with 800 meters rest at 8:00 pace, except the last rest was 1200 meters. I also had to take a bathroom break in the middle so that gave me a rest. The pace on the intervals was 6:40 mile pace, 6:20 mile pace, 6:00 mile pace, 6:00 mile pace. What made me happy was that my pace was faster than the mile repeats I did a couple weeks ago. It was hard, but I survived. I will still try to do some good mileage this week, but that will be my last really tough workout before the race next week, I think. Also, it doesn't really count because it was on the treadmill, but I ran a 10K in there (including rest parts) that was faster than 44 minutes. |

| This morning I didn't feel up to running my full miles for the day, so I did 5 easy miles at 8:00 pace. Then tonight I did 4 miles on the elliptical. Level 12, 7:30 pace. It was nice to have an easy day but still get some miles in. |

| Another late night run. Did 7 miles of hills on the treadmill and a 1/2 mile for warmup and cooldown. There was a stretch where it was really hard, and I realized part of it is that I need to use my arms to my advantage more. I for sure need to get out and run on the roads on Saturday. |

| I mapped my run on mapmyrun.com. It said it would be 11 miles. When I got to the turn around point, it didn't feel like it has been 5.5 miles, so I went a little further. When I got home, I checked it on maps.google.com, and it was only 9.5 miles. Bummer! So much for using that site. The course tool on this site doesn't work well on my neighborhood either. Maybe I'll have to give in and get a GPS watch. I went and ran 1.5 miles on the treadmill to get my goal mileage for the day. That puts me at 45 miles for the week! Now I can taper before the race next week. I felt good on the run. I don't think my body had to adjust too much to not running on the treadmill. But I was a little more sore than normal. I stayed below 180 lbs. this week. I've lost at least 5 lbs since the beginning of the year, but I don't know exactly what I was when I started, so it could be closer to 7-8 lbs. Now people can call me chunky instead of fatso. :)
