Did not run other days...weekly milage 26.2
April 16
Boston Marathon! Felt pretty good, was on pace for 2:58, but then my legs started to cramp up...just not the calves, or just the hamstrings, but everything at once! Finished, though, in 3:13:28...had to walk a lot in the last two miles, got passed by like 300 people, but oh well...it was a good experience!

Saturday, March 24
7...pushed about .5 to 1.5...3.5-5...felt pretty good...felt light on the feet...front of shins is pretty tight. Planning to go 18 tomorrow, but we'll see how I feel.
Friday, March 23
7...pushed the pace a little bit miles 3 to 5. Good stuff. Will I be able to maintain 7:15 in marathon without much exertion?
Thursday, March 22
Rest Day. Ate ice cream.
Wednesday, March 21
Easy 4 with Anton on bike. Right IT band tight for some reason...loosened up during run...felt good to run a little faster.
Tuesday, March 20
Easy 6 with Anton...52 degrees...legs feel fine...left calf a little tight at first, but it loosened up. Nothing else hurts. Felt like going longer (Anton was doing 20) but it would be better to just stop at 6. After going to bed late for two nights in a row, I am not tired. Strange.
Monday, March 19
Easy four miles...front of shins are really tight...but nothing else hurts. I'd say my recovery is going fine! Stayed up until 3:45 for no reason.

58 Total Miles
Sunday, March 18
Took another day off...just watched some movies, ate, and did nothing. Stayed up to 3 for no reason.
Saturday, March 17
Rest day (what else!) Muscles do not hurt. Knees a little stiff, hobbled around a bit, but by evening I was feeling alright. Will run 5 or 6 tomorrow sometime. I am confident that I can run Brew to Brew in two weeks, and then Boston two weeks after that.
Friday, March 16
40 miles! Crazy! Temp 23, end 35. Ran laps of 7 and 8 miles with 5 minute breaks to refuel...(around town/around country, Jennifer road, Jennifer road, around town/around town, Jennifer road, 1.5 out and back in country)...consumed roughly 1800 calories (found it hard to make the 2400 to break even)...three Powerbars, banana, spoon of peanut butter, bean and beef burrito (didn't know how it would set, but I kept it down...I have a strong stomach), and 70 ounces of fluid (8.5 cups), 64 ounces Powerade, 6 ounces water. Total time of 5 hours 47 minutes...left hamstring cramped up right after completion of mile 38 (but only because I began to think how my body felt...I went back into the "zone" or whatever you call it and finished with no more cramps). Right hip flexor is sort of sore...as are the place where the achilles and heel come together and right below the knees and the right foot on the side (shoes need to be loosened on long runs?) Did not take ice bath, because I didn't want to go through any more pain, and took a twenty minute soak in warm water instead. It felt sooooo good! Iced twice before going to bed.
Thursday, March 15
Rest day...preparing for tomorrow's 40 mile...
Wednesday, March 14
7 miles easy...have been drinking a lot of water...like 3 liters a day...felt light on my feet.
Tuesday, March 13
5 miles with Anton...to golf course, on the trail, through the park...met up with Zach, Quinn, and some other dude...nice run...like 81 degrees!
Monday, March 12
6 miles easy. Felt good to run again! 3 out in country and back.

Week 10: March 5-11
34 miles
...hmm...was this a recovery week? Did I not run because I am lazy? Or was it because I did not want to get sick?
Saurday, March 10
I was feeling a little weak today, like I was about to get sick, so I didn't run. I did, however, watch two movies, sat on the porch under the nice sun, andate a lot of food. What a good day!
Friday, March 9
11@ 16:00. 59, end 51. Ran on Leighton out on hills. Good little workout thing, but not too tiring. My legs started to feel a bit heavy, but probablybecause I ate three hours before the run. Damn dogs strated to chase me! I hate dogs. They are annoying. Slept for 9 hours or so.
Thursday, March 8
11@ 10:00. 31 (23), end 41. Pretty good run. Did not feel like running, again,but tacked on an extra mile. Good stuff. Planning 11 tomorrow. Had somekind of sidestitch in the last mile. First one in a long time.
Wednesday, March 7
7@ 16:30. 29 (23). Did not have pants here, so I had to run in shorts. I almost didn't run, but then decided to stop being such a pansy and gotout there on the roads. Felt pretty good..last half at pretty steady pace. Damn trail mix not digested or something...it was sloshing around somethingterrible. Slept in until 10. Good rest. I have been a little more tiredand hungry for the past few days. Am making sure to eat enough and restenough. Planning to go 10 tomorrow, 7 Friday, 20 Saturday, 20 Sunday (210 mile runs, morning/afternoon) for a total weekly mileage of 70.
Tuesday, March 6
5@ 16:30. 38. Felt sort of light..picked it up a bit at the end. No painin legs...calves cramped up a bit around mile 3.5, but could be because ofthe cod on my legs.
Monday, March 5
Restday. Slept in until 9. Legs felt incredibly awesome after yesterday's 30mile! Crazy! Will be able to run Boston two weeks after Brew to Brew!
