Slept in til 7 and then headed out (oh that felt so good!) Did one of my reg 10 mile routes and then added on some hill repeats. Didnt push to hard on them since my legs are still a little tired from saturday. Good news is that my hamstring felt so dang good today! So I saw April on saturday and they were very tight but she said it emotional stress. That there were no real knots in them. I asked her how she could tell the difference and she said that no matter how much she pushes on them they just wont let go and it feels different. She said I needed to relax and my legs/muscles would relax too. I was so happy to hear that! I think I have just been freaking out whenever I feel it get tight and then I get stressed about it and probably make it worse. So I working on relaxing and not stressing about the marathon. (easier said then done:)

| Ran 6.3 miles with Peg this morning and then ran 3.85 later this evening after the sun went down, perfect weather both times. It was so nice this morning!!! Just took it nice and easy, no effort, just enjoyed the company and the scenery. Overall leg felt good, upper quad a little burning sensation/tightness but I am NOT going to stress about it! :) | | Comments(1) |

Ran with Mike, Bull, and Mike's friend Bruce.Did a new route today, lots of uphill and section of downhill. Legs felt very heavy and tired, but breathing felt good. Was able to carry on conversation the whole run. Kept thinking the whole run I really ougt to push a little harder today. Thought our avg pace was going to be so slow, ended up being 7:05 and had 4 miles right around my marathon goal pace, so I was very happy with todays run because I was not putting alot of effort into it and there was alot of uphill, and I had tired legs from running late last night.

Ran with Mike and Bull. We changed our group name to The Bermuda Triangle, met for our 1st "GIGANTIC" workout of the season. It was great! Watch out Circle of Trust, here we come! hehe:)
Today I couldnt tell if those two were pushing the pace today or if my legs were just pretty tired. Didnt get our avg pace, stopped garmin at a potty break and failed to start it again. Tomorrow could be a long 20 miler. Dont plan on racing it but want a dang good workout from it.

Ran the Trails 20 miler. Small race but very well organized and ran smoothly. Rode the bus up with JamesH and Dustin. Didnt really have a "real " plan for this race, told Dustin I wanted to run half easy and half at marathon pace. I told him I would hope to be in by 2:30. My marathon miles are kinda scattered all over the run, not what I planned. I got a little lazy in this run. I was all by my lonesome the whole race and ended up not really pushing the last half. I just got comfortable and enjoyed the scenery and let my mind wander to the marathon. Had plenty of steam at the end and could have kept going. The course was pretty rolling hills and the last 2-3 miles you are climbing alot. So this run was a good confidence booster for SG.
Ran this race in Saucony racing flats and loved them! Felt so light on my feet. My leg felt good. My quad was a little tight the first couple miles but that went away. Ran a cool down .75 mi with Bill and Mike. 15 ice bath after.
