Tempo run

I took HRM with me in order to keep the pace down. Usually I just try to push it too much this close to marathon. I could of course let tempos be, but... Do I have to learn new tricks??? Anyway, I ran 6.2 miles (36.40, last 2k 7.00) with no mentionable effort. Suprisingly, pain was not there. I don't miss it at all.

Ez on trails

Instead of griding on paved roads as usual, I chose life = trails. Ran slow and easy about 6.2 miles and then rolled some strides. Maybe everything is getting better.... Easy Sundays are the best. Weekly total 49 miles.

Warm and humid Bagel Run

Oh man, the sweat is back. I ran with guys (Beast, Brian & Stephen) 14 mile course + home-and-back extra = 15.5 miles (7.00/mile). Towards the end of run I started to felt heavy. I got hit by humitidy... But due to new shoes (I think) left achilles and hamstring were silent. On the other hand lower abs are now bothering me more, but I'm already used to that. Run, run, run...

Nice morning

We sneaked out for a run before PT. We ran 4+ miles including some steep hill runs. Felt fine. Nice start for this Friday.

Day off

Took a day off. I kinda rewrote the manuscript under review during the last night, and thus, missed much needed beauty sleep. The same trend continued the whole day - I've been sitting here in front of the computer the whole day. Luckily, tomorrow the second, much better version of manuscript is ready for eyes of co-author in London UK.

WoW?

This morning provided nice chance for easy bike ride. In the evening I'll choose running. Top bad news at the personal level for this morning are related to my withdrawal from my buddy's wedding (in Finland) in July. I'm such a loose cannon.

Damn. I'm so done. Tomorrow has to be a day off. This evening I was barely able to finish ~8 miles run (6.55/mile). Izzy and Carlos were flying in the horizon, but luckily today was not a race... I hope that I'm not in the middle of pseudo-recovery. If that's true, it would be a sign of stupidity (=repeating the same mistakes over and over again). On the other hand, being that stupid wouldn't suprise me. Good night everybody.

Easy, but hilly fartlek

I just had to run this without any specific reason. Run a little faster. I ran to Clarksville partly via the Columbia Triathlon's bike course. Course profile was fine for fartlek (incl. faster hills), but the enormous prevalence of cars was too much. I ran 6.2 miles (@6.05 pace) with 2.5 miles warmup/cool down. However, the week continues as an easy week since Boston was only 2 weeks ago.

Rainy jog

Okay. I'm starting to run again and was able to hit the road already 3 PM. Had a really rainy run, 6.2 miles (6.44/mile), but I felt okay.

Sunday

My sense of time seems to be out of order. Yesterday wasn't the last day of the week. However, I didn't run today even if I had this "extra" day to use. Instead, we did an easy bike ride in chilly & rainy weather.

Bagel Run

A long run after a while felt just fine. It was may be the humid weather that kept the pack in one and pace bearable. I ran 14-miler with extra 1.5 miles with Mika. Weekly total 34 miles...
