What a rough night last night... my youngest daughter we found out has strip throat, my wife and son were vomiting all night, and to top it off I had the worst headache last night and still had it this morning. I wasn't sick I just think it's all the hours I've been putting in at work and not getting rest.

My oldest daughter was at an end of the year soccer party, and she was fine.

I wanted to run a 5 mile tempo run today and I thought with a headache I would be alright. The first mile wasn't to bad 5:59. The second mile seemed to be a lot more effort 5:50. The third mile I turned into a 25 mph wind and I couldn't hold the pace in the 5's 6:10, previous to this point the wind was pushing from the side, and it kept pushing me off the road. The fourth mile I turned with the wind at my side, but still the effort was hard 5:52. The fifth mile the effort again felt hard and not easy 5:49. Then I did a couple MP miles after that 6:19, 6:13.

I really wish running in the high five minute miles would get easier, but it still seems tough at this point, and I know it takes time and dedicated training. My headache is still there and I want to run a 18 miler Friday rather than Saturday. But maybe after a hard tempo run it might not be a good idea.

Kory,

With the lack of sleep, family sickness and the tempo run I think tomorrow should be an easier not as long day for you. Then on Saturday just go do a longer run but do not feel like you have to hammer it. In fact an 18 miler two weeks out is not really necessary. A good relaxed 15-16 miler is more than enough. Have confidence that you have done the work and put in enough miles and long runs that you are ready. I am not sure 5:50 miles ever really feel easy even when you are in the best of shape. Your tempo run was great considering the wind and lack of sleep. Again, just know that you are ready and with rest everything will come together. Have faith and trust when Sasha and I look at the training you have done and tell you that you are ready to run 2:40-45 we believe it. Believe in yourself and it will happen!
