I stole this from Tom's blog because I really like it:
Hudson tidbit: "When it's done right, the long-term training process is like an asymptote. The line that the training process moves toward but never reaches is 'perfect training'.....while it's impossible to train perfectly, it is possible to train better and better." Favorite Blogs: |

| | Ha, ha. I only did 2 miles today. I just had to take care of my real life a little bit and skip the running. Looking forward to my 10 miles before work tomorrow. |

| | 1:35 for my 10 miles. Slow again. I just don't feel like running faster this week. I've got speed work tomorrow; that should be fun. |

Somehow I forgot today was speed day and drove to the wrong place. So I just did a routine 10 miler. Still feeling sluggish though.
And my left calf has been tight and feeling twisted for over a week now. Today after stopping at a traffic light around mile 9, and when I started up again, the calf kind of spasmed as if it were going to pull but didn't. I just kept going, but I really don't think it should be doing that on a routine run. May take tomorrow off despite already taking Sunday off this week. I do not want to get hurt 3 weeks before my qualifying event. |

| | Did a track workout today. Was shooting for sub 7:30 mile repeats. Did the first one slow cuz I wasn't very warmed up for the cool morning: 7:38. Then I did a 6:50, a 7:08, a 7:15, and a 7:12. I did a 400 jog between each one and about a mile warm up and cool down. Had thought about resting today but didn't just because I'm so in the habit of getting up and running. May rest tomorrow or may not. Definitely doing a long run on Saturday. |

After not running this morning and sleeping a much-needed extra hour and a half, I couldn't resist running this evening. I went for a 7.5 miler just after sunset. I did it in about 68 minutes which is faster than I've run all week. My legs are still a little tender. I can tell they're beat. It will feel good to get this marathon over with in a few weeks. Still planning to get in 22 miles tomorrow, but I may make that my last really long run until race day. I'll keep my weekly mileage over 60 until the marathon, but I may decide I benefit more from spreading miles out more instead of beating myself up with a 20+ run on Saturdays. |

This was supposed to be 22 miles, but it's a little short. That doesn't bother me. I finished feeling like I could probably do 8 or 10 more miles at that pace. Time was 3:23. Had fun on most of this run. Ran on some uncharted territory in north Irvine. Here's a map of it: http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-states/ca/irvine/378125641173410370
