| | It felt kind of weird only doing 3 miles this morning. I'm also noticing that it's taking me longer to warm up now that I don't have as much body fat to keep me insulated. Time - 25:18 (avg. pace 8:26) Splits - 8:33, 8:28, 8:17 Temp - 55

Again with the weirdness. Not only am I not going as far on my runs as I was last week, I'm going faster than I was. So it just seems odd this week that I'm done so quickly. Oh well. I'm sure I'll get over it.
Time - 45:24 (avg. pace 8:07)
Splits - 8:16, 8:00, 8:07, 8:05, 8:15, 4:41 for 0.6 (7:51 pace) |

| | No run today. Yesterday both tops of my feet were aching, so I decided to rest today. I kept thinkging about Jennifer Weyermiller. Jenny was a senior when I was a freshmen in high school. She was the fastest girl in the state. As a freshmen she broke the AZ state record in the 100. She broke it again as a sophomore. She broke it again as a junior. And as a senior, she broke her foot. A week before divisionals she was complaining about a soreness in her foot. Coach told her she didn't need to run, but it was our big invitational meet, and she wanted to do well for the home crowd. She ended up breaking her foot in the 200. Stress fracture. So, call me paranoid, but I think a day of rest will do me a lot of good. Don't you? | |

What a difference a fresh set of legs make. I think I'm starting to get sick. The last time I got sick was when I stopped running for a couple of days. So I wanted to make sure I got out today and sweated it all out. My son had strep throat, and my throat is starting to get yucky. We quarantined him to his room. But I snagged a cheese puff out of the big bucket the other day which I'm sure he had his grimy little hands in.
Last week I was averaging around 8:45 which is what I want to average in my marathon. I wanted to run that today because I ran 8:07's Tuesday and then my feet started to ache. But my fresh legs didn't want to go that slow. It makes me wonder if I should go a little faster at the beginning of my marathon while I'm fresh and then fall back into an 8:45 groove. Or will the fast start kill me later?
It was really cloudy out this morning, but not at all cold, even with the breeze. On-Your-Right-Bicycle-Girl passed me again this morning, but she didn't scare me. Around mile 4.8 I started getting stomach cramps. From the sickness? I sprinted the last quarter mile and averaged 5:30. Hard to believe I could actually run faster than that for a full mile.
Time - 46:25 (avg. pace 8:19)
Splits - 8:21, 8:15, 8:23, 8:28, 8:35, 4:24 for 0.58 (7:35 avg.)
