A.M. Ran 5 miles at 8:00 pace on the treadmill. Though I did throw in a 1-4% incline for much of it because I was going to run hills outside but didn't because I wasn't feeling well when I got up. Might run more this evening if I have the time and energy.
P.M. Ran another 5 miles at 8:00 pace on the treadmill. No incline this time. Starting to get over this feeling of being under the weather.

| Hooray!!! I finally had a breakthrough tempo run. I have been frustrated because I couldn't get myself going on these runs. I want to be able to run my target marathon pace and then get faster from there. Today I ran the first 2 miles (warmup) in about 8:20/mile. Then my mile times were (approx): 7:09 7:23 (mostly uphill)
6:59 (mostly downhill)
7:09 7:05 The cooldown was about 8:30/mile. The greatest thing about this workout was that I won a mental battle. My legs were hurting, and I really wanted to cool the pace, but I kept strong. The average pace was my target marathon pace. I also learned some things about my form and about relaxing during the run.

| Ran 4 miles at 11 pm because it was a busy day. 7:43 pace. Stopped by to get one of the free root beer floats (in honor of Burt), but they were all out. What's that all about?! Not feeling super great. But my weight is the lowest it's been so far this year!

| I thought I was just feeling run down, but now I'm wondering if I have been fighting a bug of some kind. Today I have felt worst of all. And it's been going on for a week now of not feeling great, so hopefully it will be over soon. Since January 1, 2009, I have run at least 3 miles every Mon-Thurs and Saturday without missing. I had to keep that streak going because that's part of what gets me out the door each day. So I went to the treadmill tonight and ran for 30 minutes. It didn't feel good, but I'm glad I did it. Tomorrow I will rest up.

| I'm logging and entry today because my weight dropped by 1.5 pounds from my previous low a couple days ago. I'm below 175 for the first time in awhile. The big drop is most surely from being ill. So maybe if I get ill another ten times, I'll get down to my high school weight. ;) | |

| I ran 14 miles at an average of 8:05 pace. Went down 1300 East for 7 miles and then turned around. The bad was that it was windy and there were too many cars. The good was that I felt light on my feet and was able to hold the pace pretty steady. The last 5 miles were a struggle, but it was nice to get a good solid long run in. Despite being sick this week and shortening two of my runs, I was happy to get to 40 miles again this week. And I lost weight, though that may be temporary. We'll see.
