Recovery day.
No running. Stairs were a little tough today, but the only real pain seems to be in the quads. Not sure why.

| One more rest day. I'm feeling a little sick today. Sore throat. Eyes are watery. Maybe allergies? I hope to run a nice easy 2-3 recovery miles tomorrow. Legs feel good. Still some slight quad pain, but other than that feel great. | |

...one more rest day. I worked from home today. The water eyes I had yesterday turned into conjunctivitis (pink eye), so I thought it best to keep this highly contagious infection to myself. I MUST RUN TOMORROW...I PROMISE!!!!
Oh, pictures from the Cowtown Marathon are now online: www.cowtownmarathon.org My bib is (well look at my picture and figure it out :-)

I finally got out and ran. Not much, but I ran. This was my first run since Saturday's marathon. No real pain. Ever so slight tightness in the right quad. Other than that felt good. Was still a little breezy, but temperature was 70+ at noon when I ran. I like it warm during training runs, but prefer the 40s and 50s on race days. HR was a little high for the effort.
AP: 7:54 Avg HR: 150 Last mile was 7:14 (with the wind at my back)
I'll give the pushups a try before bed tonight. Gotta keep up with Huans!
PC: 40-36-24-20, MAX 48. I think this was Week 5, day 1, Column 3. |

| Ran with Tom after work today. Tom ran the Half Marathon on Saturday, his longest race ever in just over 2 hours. Tom lost about 65 pounds in one year, due mostly to picking up running. I remember his first 5K ever almost 2 years ago, and the determination on his face as he trudged the final half mile..I believe his half marathon pace was faster than his first 5K pace. Tom's recovery pace was about 10:00/mi today..a little slow for me, but if it's between running alone a little faster or running with someone, I'll choose running with a buddy anytime! After our jog, I did one quick solo mile in about 7:00, just to see how the equipment was feeling. All systems are go for a quick rampup for Boston! Pink eye and sore throat are now a memory. Temp: 80 Wind: S20+ HR: forgot my strap at home Bfast: Biscuit w/ egg, bacon, cheese. Green tea w/ honey. Cran-grape juice Snack: a small package of mini-Oreos (I was hungry) Lunch: Arby's chicken sandwhich, fries, unsweetened iced-tea Dinner: Homemade pizza, cheese and mushrooms. Sweet tea. Frosted cupcake (Ok..now that I read what I ate today, I think I eat more like a college kid than a middle-age distance runner...) |

| Another hot (80+) windy (20+ MPH) day. Ran at lunch with Darin and Eric. The plan was to do 6 miles between 7:30 and 8:00 pace. This felt more like a tempo run than a MP training run. My HR was between 150-165 depending on the direction of the wind/hills. I'm not fully recovered from the marathon on Saturday, but 6 days have gone by and I feel pretty good. Tomorrow is kids' soccer/baseketball/catchup on housework day. Not sure when I'll get my long run (12-14 miles) in..but I'll find the time. 44 days 'til Boston.

Cross training day. I'd like to think that taking my boys to soccer and basketball games, coming home and working in the garden, and knocking off a few of my honey-do's counts as cross-training. :-) It felt good to catch up on some jobs around the house.
