Wanted to do an increasing speedworkout mixed with a bit of distance to them. Last one I really had to focus on maintaining form and relaxing. Glad I made time for this workout.

| Slept in a bit and then headed out for a decent run. I wanted to keep this in the 7:15ish range but ended up around a 6:55 so a little too fast. There were a few spot I really wanted to push it. I had two uphill sections around a mile each that are a soft uphill that I really wanted to hit hard and on steeper downhill that I wanted to make sure I hit pace on. Was able to hit all three fine. Ended up feeling sluggish around 12 but at 13 my body started feeling really good and pace ended up staying down so I just maintained pace to home. Kicked a dog pretty hard and then drilled him with a big rock pretty good. He's a nice dog but he followed me last week for 7+ miles and I didn't like it. So when he came out today I took care of it. My wife was out running and saw me kick the dog and her friends and her think I have anger issues now.

| 5/37:08 easy run in sort of a soft taper type week. This is pretty much the plan until Friday. Trying to decide if I want to register for Boston or not. If I don't go I really don't want to sign up so I'm in limbo.

| So I give a full report when I get home. I knew at some point in this race I would blow up. Training has been so sofit the last couple of months. Wheels started falling off around 10. Pace slid pretty drastic got passed by 2 people during this stretch. Held on barely. Huge PR but the course lends itself to that.
My Bro Lo Matt Simmons asked me to do this with him and I even tried to back out of this two weeks ago because my running has been non existent as of late. Matt had in mind he wanted to run a 1:32 which was a pretty high goal for his first half ever so when we got to the starting line I told him to go run with the 1:30 pacer. He ended up coming in just ahead of them and ran a 1:29:26. Way awesome.
My plan for this race had been to go out at a 5:30 pace and see how long I could hold it. I figured I'd blow up because of the lack of miles but wanted to take the chance.
Gun went off and 7-8 guys went out ahead of me and I didn't want any part of that pace so I stuck to my plan
1-5:31 perfect first mile
2-5:36 ok maybe I couldn't hold it but passed a couple of people
3-5:21
4-5:09 ran a couple of miles with John Rosswog. We were talking the whole time but in the middle of mile 6 I told him the pace was a little fast for me and good luck then I dropped back.
5-5:18
6-5:34
7-5:27
8-5:37
9:5:47 I could tell finishing was going to be hard
10-6:12 here comes the slide I was hurting and just trying to stay close to MP
11-6:21 got passed by Steve Hooper and had no attempt at trying to stay with him
12-6:26 why didn't I run more was all I was thinking
13-6:33 got passed by Christina Perry the women's champion. I was ticked but couldn't do anything my legs were just gone. I had no speed left
.1-:34
Can't be mad at a 1:15:22 but gave up at least 2:00 in the last 4 miles because of lack of training. Huge PR but I figured it would happen but thought I'd be closer to a 1:17. I've come so far this year and hit times I didn't think I was going to run. Still learning a lot about myself and running. I think I could go sub 1:13 if not faster but I need to just keep doing what I'm doing and having fun.
No more races this year unless I get a crazy idea at the last minute. |

| 4/28:00 forgot my socks so this got cut short when the burning sensation started. Legs are a little tight from not running last week. It was really busy but I probably needed a break. Fall plan is just to keep runnig and not get too lazy while focusing on finishing up the house.

Just kind of ran. Wanted to run a bit faster. Really feel out of shape right now. I enjoyed it. It has been a pretty crazy day in every way. Good break.

| 5/34:58 two things to take away from today. 1 - when someone leaves a box of doughnuts by your desk it's okay not to eat one. I choose to partake and feel like I have sugar toximia 5 hours later. 2 - I'm really out of shape compared to this spring, which is ok. I didn't think it would be this bad but whatever. I need this long rest, just don't get lazy is my theme. 5-6 days a week at least 5 miles a pop should keep me not too fat.

| 8/55:53 Easy run at the gym. Got up early to run but the rain/snow mix changed my mind pretty quick. I really don't mind the gym. Got to watch Mariano Rivera's send off last night. That was a great moment in sports history.
Herm Edwards, who I absolutely love, also had a great line. "Don't say anything, just go to work".
