Took a rest day from running. Mostly due to Kathie's reminder, I did my pushups - 20-20-20-20-20 With about 1 minute rest between the first 4 sets, and about a 3 minute rest before the last set...there, I did my 100. :-)

| Today my oldest child, Megan, turned 17! Wow time sure flies.
Today was going to be a mid-week 1/2 max mileage day (I have 22 planned for Saturday, so I was going for 11 today), but life got in the way. I ran 3.1 miles at lunch with a coworker (Eric). I was planning to do the other 8 miles after work, but I got called home to watch my 6-year-old (who wasn't feeling well),so my wife could go to her Wednesday night church meeting.

Today worked out a little better than yesterday. I managed to get in 9 quality (tempo) miles today. I ran w/ Eric again at lunch. We did 4 with a few hill repeats in the middle.
I didn't take the betablocker today, to test the waters. Yep, my HR is back to normal ranges for me. I manged to max out my HR at over 160, and it felt great! This afternoon I went an check my BP on the machine at work -- 143/72 (that's about normal for me), a tad high, but I was at work. HR 51.
The lunch run was pretty good. Eric and I started out together. But, Eric isn't the most talkative person, so we settled into a 7:30ish pace. It was about 70 degrees, and S wind about 15 MPH. We actually broke a sweat!
After work, I ran with Darin (my Boston training buddy from last year). Everytime we run together it almost seems like a race. We stuck together for the first 4 miles (7:20's), and then I decided to kick it in on the last mile (6:40). I finished up a hill with my HR at about 160. AP: 7:14 for 5 miles.
No real aches of pains to speak of (knock on wood). The usual Achilles tenderness, but I'm grown accustomed to that.
I also did my pushups today after my lunchtime run.
21-21-18-18-21- they're not getting much easier. Maybe I shouldn't try to do them right after a hard run?

It's taper time!! Less than 2 weeks 'til Cowtown.
Got a late start Saturday morning. Ran 12 miles before my son's b-ball game. Then ran the remaining 8 miles back home from the game. I thought that after a 45 minute break in the middle of the run, that the last 8 miles would be easier. Nope - I think it was actually tougher than if I had just kept going and did all 20 without a break. It was about 40 degrees and a little breezy. I didn't feel very motivated, and walked a few long sections. I'm finding that it's tough to run alone. I need someone to chat with to pass the miles..or maybe I'll start running with an MP3 player (I haven't run with tunes in a few years). Had a great Valentines dinner at home with our friends. Cooked steaks on the grill! Yumm..
AP: 9:40 HR- 125-142BPM
