This morning I did a 4.3 mile run with the dog at a 7:52 pace in 34 minutes. Not really any soreness to speak of just a easy run in a head-wind most of the way.

Lunch I ran 4.2 miles at a 6:57 pace. I really feel good after the marathon, but I'll take this week easy.

Ran 1.5 miles on the treadmill at halftime on the Cowboys vs Bills game.

AM: Easy run again with the dog at 30 degrees. I had to break out my Under Armour tights, because the wind was also blowing. We did 5.31 miles at a 7:15 pace in 38:29.

I'm very pleased what I've accomplished this year had very humbled too. I'm also excited for Jeff Shadely for his amazing runs this year. He's going to crush his PR next year, and hopefully we can train together.

I so motivated for next year and hungry to do better. 

 

PM:  ran 5.22 miles in a 6:32 pace.  I'm not sure why I ran fast this evening but it felt easy.  I'm really thinking I should do another marathon in December, because I feel I can better my previous one.  The problem is I wouldn't know what one to do that's reasonable close.

Today I ran 7.3 miles in a 7:16 pace in 53:10 minutes. The last mile I ran almost half at a 5:40 pace and finished the mile at a 6:47 pace. I probably won't run the rest of the day because of a busy schedule so it was good to get 7 in this morning. I was up very late last night with relatives so this morning wasn't fun getting up.

I'm not experiencing much soreness, like I said in someone's blog. I must have been lazy in the ST. George marathon, and it really makes me mad, because I wanted to come away from it not being able to walk.  In fact my wife told me don't come home if your not that sore.  I felt I pushed hard the second half, but maybe not as much the first.  I'm really anxious to run another one soon.  April is a long time away, but winter training is a benefit with the break.

Today I got up late, and had to really push the run if I was going to get back in time to take my kids to school. I ran 7.5 miles and the last three miles I really picked it up to get back home (6:32, 5:52, 5:41). I really don't have any soreness from the marathon. My calves are little tight but they don't bother me.

I think I'm going to run another marathon before the end of the year, I want to get below a 2:35, and I know I'm capable of doing it after last weeks performance.

Lunch: I ran 2.6 miles outside at whatever pace I felt and didn't look at my garmin until two miles in the run. My overall pace was 7:08.

I worked late last night troubleshoot a disk failure on one of our Linux servers so I was tired getting up. I ran 7.61 miles at a 6:41 pace at 30 degrees. I had pretty good spilts trying to push just a little bit, but not too hard (6:48, 6:42, 6:32, 6:37, 6:23, 6:29). I was pleased and glad to be done, because I was in a hurry again this morning. I will probably do some easy miles this afternoon.

Paul, found me an excellent marathon to run on December 2nd in California "California International Marathon" so I'll see what my wife says. I will be in California at the end of this month. Paul, your a great athlete and person.

Yesterday my daughter ran two miles. My daughter and I are going to be running a race together in two weeks called "girls on the run 5k" I'm going to be her pacer and try to help her win.

Lunch:

I ran a slow run with the dog consisting 4.5 miles at a 6:59 pace in 31:42.  The weather was warmer so I wore shorts compared to 30 degrees this morning.

Today was a cold rainy run.  I did a combination of uphill, and downhill and flat pretty much of equal distance.  I had to work late last night which seemed to cause me to feel sluggish the first 4 miles.  I really was tired on this run but seemed to wake-up towards the end.  13.1 miles in 7:03 pace.

My legs feel recovered from the marathon, but I would say their totally fresh.  I was so tired getting up this morning that I almost bagged the run.  The rain made the run not very enjoyable.
