Today I run 8.13 miles at a 6:59 pace. I ran on highway 91 and back in town pretty much on a flat course the whole time. I'm considering doing the Silicon Valley Marathon in San Jose on November 4th, because I will be at a training conference in San Jose till November 2nd (if not canceled), and thought I would stay a couple days extra and run the marathon. This is a completely flat course, so I need to figure out what my training will be until then. Ran 4.11 miles at home on my lunch hour on the wonderful treadmill watching ESPN, and the analysts saying how the Dallas Cowboys are not an elite team like the Patriots. Well I have to disagree, because the Cowboys lead in the 3rd quarter and the amount of penalties killed their chance to win. I'm not saying they would have won, but who knows. Their still a good team and have a chance to go far.

Today was just a plain old easy run with the Dog. I've felt I need to take some easy runs in rather than trying to come-back so fast from St. George and do faster runs. Which I started doing some faster runs after STG, and I don't feel my legs are back at peak performance yet. I think next week I'll start to do some faster runs if I'm going to run the Silicon Valley Marathon on November 4th. I still don't know yet.
Anyway I ran 8 miles this morning at a 7:13 pace at 35 degrees. I did two sets of 200m strides. It felt kind of nice to run at a slower pace. I think sometimes I always want to push, but your body does need time to heal from a marathon. Lunch: I ran on the treadmill at home and did 3.4 miles. First mile in 7:30 and gradually increased the speed where I did the last mile at 6:45. To me it always seems that the treadmill is harder to run on than running outside.. |

This morning it was 42 degrees with a 16 mph wind and the weather said the wind chill made it feel like 32 degrees. I left sort of late so this was suppose to be an easy run, but it really wasn't. I ran 9 miles at a 6:31 pace in 59:05. The last four miles I picked the pace up (t615, 6:13, 6:06 and 5:55). I need to get up earlier in the mornings, and use better time management. Lunch: I ran 3.6 miles at home on the treadmill. Note: Looks like I will be running the Marathon in San Jose, California on November 4th. I could really use a training strategy for somewhat of a flat course.

Okay I'm not ready for the cold weather yet, but too bad it's here. This morning when I started out it was 29 degrees with the wind blowing 14 mph. I need to get better gloves than my Under Armour cold gear ones. I need running gloves that are going to work in negative degree weather and wind. Does anyone know a brand I could purchase? My hands were really the only thing that was cold just like last year.
Anyway, I ran 9.3 miles at a 7:14 with the dog. I basically just ran all over the city on a flat surface since this is what this next marathon will be like on November 4th. Guys pray for me in this marathon, because I've never ran on this sort of course. Lunch: Again on the treadmill at home 4.4 miles. Did the last mile at 6:30. Haven't signed up for the Silicon Valley Marathon yet on November 4th. I want to see where I'm at with a Marathon Pace sort of long run planned for tomorrow. I can't do my long run on Saturday, because will be out of town for soccer tournaments. I want to see how I feel after running so many marathons lately before I make a decision.

Today I did a long run and the weather was absolutely awful 30 mph gust with rain, but it was about 39 degrees so that was the only thing in my favor. I tried pushing in the wind and really wore myself out the first part of the run which was 9 miles in the wind. Then I turned around and had somewhat of a tail wind. The wind would just knock you back and I did everything I could to fight through it. I made one mistake on this run that I dressed too much and was very hot. I can never remember sweating so much. That will definitely take the energy out of you.
7:23, 7:12, 7:08, 7:05 | (warm-up, but maybe too fast in the wind where it would beat your head and body up. The light rain wasn't bad..) |
6:56, 657, 6:43, 7:22, 6:31 | (so windy I just was trying to fight through it to get a decent pace per mile) |
6:00, 5:57, 6:11, 6:09 6:01 6:02 | (got a little tail wind on these miles, but not a lot. I did get some MP miles.) |
7:12 | (cool down)

Really not the run I was hoping for and not very impressive at all. Mileage: 16.3 miles at a overall 6:41 pace in 1:49. One thing I tried to accomplish in this run is to simulate the Silicon Valley marathon where the first 13 is a gradual uphill and the last 13 is a gradual downhill and it's sort of a loop run. My first 8 1/2 miles were a gradual uphill and the rest were a gradual downhill and I did sort of a loop run. Evening: Ran 3.2 mile with my 11 year old daughter at a overall pace of 8:32. We did some fartlek training to teach her to pick the pace up. There's a 5k race that were going to run together, and I want her to win in her age division.

I ran 7.1 miles today in a head wind at a overall 6:17 pace. I pushed the pace because I wasn't happy with my run yesterday. Even though I was at work till 1am I still felt fresh running at 8am . 6.51 (Fast warm-up)
6:05 (decided to just ran by feel for the next few miles)
6:03 (felt easy on a flat course)
5:57 (felt good going into a headwind my legs felt so good)
6:23 (The wind completely blasted me)
6:09 (Pick up the mile after the headwind and just kept running by feel)
6:16 (Last mile because I needed to get back for my girls soccer tournament)
