Top of Utah long run #3. Wanted to come in with my avg. pace under 8mpm this time. Had to push it at the end to bring it down to 7:59. Felt good though. Ten seconds off of marathon goal pace.

My daughter forgot to turn off the Garmin watch after our run last night. But I got six in. My achiles started hurting in the first mile. It was fine by the end of the run, but I am a bit concerned.
9:45pm 3 miles
This time she forgot to turn ON the Garmin until we were about a half-mile into it. Achiles hurting again. I'm going to take tomorrow off.

Dropped my daughter off at her fist cross-country practice and went for a run in Nampa. Hot, hot, hot. Missed one turn and had to modify the course a bit. Held a good pace the whole way. Too hot.

10 miles at goal pace 7:48, then jogged the final two with my wife. A good, tough run. Took a lot out of me. Ready for a rest day.

Good solid run. With about a mile left, a gnat flew into my mouth and right at the back of my throut. It hit me just right because the next thing I know, I'm gaging and dry-heaving at the side of the road. Good thing my stomach was empty or I would have puked all over the flowers.

Didn't feel like running tonight. Stomach felt queezy and I twisted my ankle walking down the stairs. But I went out anyway and imediately started feeling good. Put in a good hard effort finishing 5 kilometers in 22:28.

Good progression run. First mile was 8:23. Sped up gradually each mile until I was at 7:30 by mile 7. No bug swallowing this time.

Dead tired this morning. Got out late, Only ran 5 miles, 7 seconds above goal pace. Such a loser.

Had to atone for phoning it in this morning. If I combine both of today's runs, I'm under goal pace, so I'll take that.

Good long run. Got down to marathon goal pace by mile 8 and my last two miles were the fastest. Now I just have to decide if I'm doing another long run before the race. It's 4 weeks out, which seems like a long time. But, my only opportunity would be two weeks from now. Two weeks from race day seems a little soon. What to do, what to do.

Tired this morning. Got out late, so I cut it a little short.

I think I'm getting burned-out with 2-a-days. I keep not wanting to run in the evening. My stomach even gets a little queezy. But once I'm out there I'm fine. Tonight I started out pretty good, but the pace dropped-off in mile 3.

Decent run this morning. Only did 5 because of a late start and really tired. I stayed up late last night updating my web site after the game. This is what happens when my two obsessions collide.

Watch crapped out on me. Don't know how fast I ran. But it felt right.
