Finally, a descent run again. Everything felt pretty good. Picked it up for the last mile to marathon pace but other than that kept it pretty simple. Should be fairly easy running for the rest of this week with maybe a few hills and marathon pace miles mixed in here and there.

Did a little bit of a tempo/marathon pace run this morning. Warmed up with one and then picked it up to Meg's marathon pace for a couple of miles and then just below my marathon pace for the final two. Everything felt pretty good this morning. All the little aches and pains seem to be going away. Hope it continues becuase I really need to get to the starting line very healthy to even have a shot at a BQ let alone a sub 3:30.

Took it easy today and just ran some very generic average paced miles. The body continues to feel better every day which is a good sign. All the little aches that have been bothering me continue to feel better and better. Hopefully the trend continues until well into next week. Getting to the starting line healthy is my number one goal and it looks like that just might happen this year for once.

Ran three miles at marathon pace today. It seemed too hard. I donated blood last Friday and am probably still feeling the effects, in fact it may have cost me a shot at a BQ in the marathon. I have heard differing stories about donating blood while training, I just hope I can feel better running at marathon pace on race day than I did today. I have also had some stomache issues the last couple of days and the problem may be related to that as well. I'm sure the combination of the two isn't helping me right now. As of today the confidence is pretty low for a BQ but I still think I have a good shot at going under 3:30.

Same distance, different day. Only six more runs until the big show. Tomorrow I'm looking at going 11 and making it a dress rehearsal of the marathon. Same cloths, same, shoes, yada yada yada. I'm going to throw in some (5-6) MP miles in the middle of that run tomorrow just to keep the legs from going stale and to evaluate how it feels compared to yesterdays run. I continue to feel better and better each day so I know the taper is working. It feels good not to be trashing my legs every day.

Rain........yes I said rain just in case you couldn't believe it. We didn't get much but we did get enough to make us wet during our run and then it was humid the rest of the way. The temp for this mornings run was 79 degrees and muggy. I thought we were almost through with the hot temps but I guess not. I hope this is not a sign of things to come next week at SGM. The run went pretty good today. It did still feel way too hard for what I was doing but it felt better than last Thursdays 3 mile MP run which is all I can ask I guess. Started out with 3 fairly easy miles and then picked it up to 7:28 pace for the next 6 miles. I think the average for those miles actually came out to be around 7:30/mile (like I said, it was a bit of a struggle). Had a little pain in my left hip which has been on and off for the last couple of weeks. Nothing real bad, but enough to make me notice. I think taking it fairly easy next week will help it to feel a lot better before the big day. Finished the run with a couple of slower miles and called it good. Can't believe we are only a week away.
