Achilles has been a little bit achy and I've been really busy with work and just haven't gotten out for a few days. It felt good to get out tonight. I'm trying to keep it easy. I'm running the Steamboat Stinger half marathon on Sunday. I doubt it will be fast but it should be fun. I haven't done a trail race in over a year.

Out the last 2 days with something flu-like. Just couldn't deal with the heat so I ran on the HPER track. Lost track of the lap count; I'm pretty sure I got in 7 but can't be sure so I'm rounding down.

Fishery loop with Tim and Mo. Not feeling 100% with cold symptoms so I was dragging behind them. But, got through on a less than great day (sopping) so I'll give myself a pat on the back and a quart of orange juice.

Seems like it's been F O R E V E R since my last run with CoachP; now that she's off "summer hours", she was (more) willing to meet Dan and I. Several times she told us to take off, but, nah, no can do.

Dan and I ran five, four w/ CoachP; I tacked a bit on the front and back, hating this weather the whole time. :)

Cadence: 234/max, 155/avg

8 Mile MP run this morning. This felt pretty tough, but I was able to keep up the pace. I wanted to quit after mile six, but was able to power through. I know this isn't supposed to feel easy, but I am still recovering from this one. Still pretty hot out this morning, so hopefully that changes soon.

Giving the legs another workout with hills, sprints, and jumps. 45 min of spin with Michelle. I was soppin at the end.

Well, one month from today I'm heading to the grand town of Sioux Falls to give their marathon a go. Grandma's is still keeping me up at night. It's like an elephant on my chest that I cannot shake. Sioux Falls is the next step to knocking that elephant off. I'm so scared to death that it wasn't the heat at Gma's, but just me, so this is daunting for me. But, I'm gonna try my best. And, I get my own personal pacer this time. :) He keeps me on track. He keeps me going.

Have a great day. Stay cool.

  • moxie moxie A lot can go wrong in 26.2 miles, especially in tough conditions. It's definitely not you. Keep up the good work and you'll kill it.
    • posted at 09:03:00 EDT
  • justinmollak justinmollak ^ that. The stress you put your body through in 26.2 miles can really beat you down. It's definitely not you. Just relax and enjoy the experience. It will be 10x better without all the expectations of yourself. Limits are something you give yourself.

  • dordio dordio Linny, it's "running", enjoy the journey and adventure. You're putting way too much cred into it.
    • posted at 09:36:00 EDT
  • Dan Dan Echoing the above comments. You trained hard and did everything right. We cannot control the weather. Excited for you at Sioux Falls!!

    • posted at 10:51:00 EDT
  • Linny Linny Thanks guys. :) But Gary, I cannot help it. I pretty much dive into everything 120%. That's just me. It's more to me than just running. Sorry to say.
    • posted at 10:52:00 EDT
  • dordio dordio ^I do get it cuz was there before as well. Easy to see it all with different goggles now. Give it your all, but make memories not numbers; that's what you'll cherish someday.

Tired of the humidity. Thankful I'm headed to CO today to get out of this junk. Took me about 7 miles to shake the stress of trying to get everything wrapped up yesterday to take the rest of the week off. I also jumped over a mouse on Woolworth St.

With Coach P and Carl J Phelps! They definitely made a weather-wise atrocious morning very pleasant. Nice to visit with Colleen after some time and wishing her the best in her new job!
