Since I knew I wouldn't have time to get in a super long run, I did most of it faster than normal. 

After a 4 mile warmup (at about 9:30 pace), I did sets of 4 miles.  Next miles were 9:20, 8:40, 8:40, 7:40.  Last set was a little slower:  9:20, 8:57, 8:57, 8:40.  I wish I had written it down because that's about what I remember, but it may not be exact.

I did it all on a treadmill--I'm not used to running on a treadmill.  My calves were more sore than usual.

Meet day.  Mileage is approximate.

I'm stressed out lately.  There's a lot going on:  trips to Chicago (made after meets and then I drive back home the next day), papers to grade, coaching duties, other crap to get done, bills to pay, miles to run, kids to parent!  I feel like my running is affected because my cold is lingering and I've been getting stress headaches.  Running is the least important of all the things I have to do, so lately it's been getting short-changed.

I think I'm ready for the marathon, but I wish it had been last week.  I'm nervous that I won't be ready in 3 weeks.

I HAVE to get my long run in Sunday.  Then mentally, I think I'll feel better about the upcoming race.

Ran with Jamie.  He always has lots of questions about running.  It's nice to know he is committed to running faster and still wants to put in hard work.  We ran at approximately 9:00 pace--I think it was a little fast for him, but he still did it. I know he wanted to stop after about 35 minutes, but I wouldn't let him.

Today was a good run, but I feel exhausted now.  I'm just mentally drained.

2 miles running back and forth between the 1200 start and the finish.

I don't know.  I'll say one mile.  I tried to get my JV team started on their workout and my 2 varsity teams ready for their races all at the same time.

I ran a little on the course.  Probably should have done the cool downs with at least one team, but had to juggle all 3 today.
