NOTE - I am calling "fast" those miles that exceed my Boston Qualifying pace (around 7:25min/mile). Maybe later I will adjust this, but for now this will work.
Awesome run today. I ran with Clyde and Logan, who are far better runners than I am. We started out slow, but started picking it up in the last half. I faded the last mile and didn't keep up, dangit. Once the pace gets under 6:30, I struggle. I need to run with those guys more. |

| Felt terrible - a combination of a hard run on wednesday and I have some stomach bug. |

| A good hard run, lots of hills at bq pace. First good run since wednesday. This ends the "recovery week" -- I am loosely following hal higdon's advanced I marathon training program. Next week is scheduled for about 50 miles. |

| great run with clyde. I might need to adjust what i am calling a "slow mile" and a "fast mile" as my pace keeps improving! 6 of the miles today were under 7 minutes per mile, that is a good hard run for me. I have never trained this hard for a marathon (this will be my fourth) and I am excited for race day. I am agonizing over whether I should go for sub 3 hours or play it safe and try to qualify for boston at 3:15. Maybe I will try a longer run at 3 hour pace and see how I hold up. I run harder with Clyde pacing me, but i feel bad that it's so easy for him. Oh well. |

Sweet run today, I felt downright Kenyan (haha).
Ben and I decided not to look at our garmins and just run "free." The pace just kept increasing, it was a nice cool morning and we were both feeling strong.
We strung together three miles at under 3:00 hr marathon pace, I love that. Our final average was around 7 min/mile.
Long run tomorrow - hopefully I didn't overdo it this morning. I feel great now (it's been a few hours). |

Holy smokes, that was the all-time best run of my life. I tried to hang on to Clyde and Logan as long as possible, but their pace just kept mercilessly increasing. Those guys are freaking awesome.
Anyhow, I averaged 6:42 per mile for the 16? miles (on the sgm course) which absolutely crushes any pace for any run over 10 miles in my entire life. (I think it was about 16, I don't have my garmin with me). My previous best pace for a long run was 6:58. The last two miles I ran with Clyde and Logan were sub-6 pace. For me, that is wicked fast.
So, feeling sore yes, but I am now definitely going to try for a 2:59 marathon now. It will be tough, but I actually think it's possible for me.
I love running with those guys - but I worry that I am just dead weight, you know. Like an energy-drainer for them. I don't help set the pace, and I can hardly breathe enough to add anything to the conversation.
I am feeling a little plantar fasciitis in my left foot. Not bad, but it has been a problem in the past.

Ran with Groesbeck on the course again. I was really really sore still from saturday's epic run (well, "epic" acording to my standards). The first four miles were murder, but then, things started feeling good and the pace was easier, by the time we hit the downhill section, we were going faster than our boston pace.
We ended up averaging 6:48 per mile, which is the 2nd best long run of my life. And it came 2 days after the best run of my life. I am really really sore now. Going to do an easy recovery run tomorrow. |
