Felt a bit yucky from a later dinner and a few glasses of wine, decided to run a 10k on the TM eventhough I was running later with G.
10k - 39:27 Felt decent.
8 miles at 5pm on the trail 6:59 avg. Not bad for a double run.
Pizza and a glass of wine after with the G's family, fun.

MP run, 6:55 pace average.
Did not eat well the night before, travel to T.0, plus no water or breakfast, forgot.
Still know I could have run that pace for another 10 miles. So have decided on a plan for next week.
Probably run 8 tomorrow. | | Add Comment |

3 mp on the tm after work and dinner, 20:20, not really sore or sharp just annoying and there.
felt terrible, back still sore.
can't believe that after 20 weeks of near perfect training, pb's, winning a race and tapering properly I get back pain a week before.
my response is oh well! I will dedicate this run to Elliot who was very sick this summer and battled through months compared to what I will have to do for 3-305 hours.

Tough run Sunday but happy with a new PB. My buddy Giancarlo qualified for Boston which was most important. We had a great weekend and the results were just what we were after. I struggled from 18 on, stitch and legs were tired, I expected a typical long run pick up but it just was not there. The best part of the race was not letting the 310 pacer group pass me with 2 miles to go, I must of been doing 7:45's and thinking about walking but I found the strength because of my Elliot to finish under 310. My little Elliot had whooping cough this year and had to fight through 2 months plus and I knew he had a much harder task than my painfull last 2 miles.
Weather was perfect best yet for a marathon that I have run. I qualifed for Boston 2010 which is cool and my wife wants to run a half marathon so I have already booked Miami in Jan, Boston is too far away.
I did write a long entry but it somehow got erased so I am tired and have to go to bed and its already Tuesday.
Such an encouraging marathon and I am so excited to train for Miami.

was going to run 10 k on the TM at 6:53's but quickly felt tired and I guess a lack of motivation. Decided to run the last mile @ 6 min pace, felt hard at first but it was nice to get that in especially only 4 days after the marathon.

4 miles 7 min pace on the TM.
1 and a half days of fasting basically which made it tough run especially the last mile.
150 Sunday night and today after the run I was 145.
Hope to stick at 145 after the cleanse for Boston training.

3.1 - 19:39, decent but had to pee.
break to pee
1 mile 5:52, wanted to run another 5k but legs felt a bit like jello. Hoping its the 3 day cleanse and a bit tired still from the marathon but nevertheless a bit frustrating.
