| 10 miles, AP 8:09 in beautiful St. George. Started at the time share and ran down to some of the trails in Bloomington and then back up. Thursday is my day off so we drove down to St. George Wednesday night to look over a few more houses before making a final decision. |

| 19 miles, AP 8:45, with JohnnyV and Dave on the JRP up in Dave's neck of the woods. Interesting, my first niggle this running season. Is it taper madness? It's nothing too bad, just some bizarre fleeting pain in the back of my knee. Feels like a tad bit of inflammation. I wore my Pure Cadence shoes more this week, but my pace has been relatively conservative (other than Wednesday). I did do something stupid on the long run though: I only carried 6 ounces of fluids and a half consumed Gu (that I unbeknownst had in my little water container pocket thankfully). STUPID! For some silly reason I thought there would be something on the trail. Oh well. Haven't felt the need to take any ibuprofen yet. Hoping it's 100% by Monday morning. :) |

| 5.5 miles which included two sub 7 miles and two 400s sprinkled within. Knee felt great. I took the time Sunday afternoon to figure out what was going on. A simple tight semimembranosus. Once I did some soft tissue and foam rolled it things were MUCH better. :) |

| 12 miles which included 2 x 15 minutes at marathon pace with 5 minute recovery jog between, as well as a couple 400s sprinkled in there someplace. I hope I'm ready. :-) |

| Definitely not what I expected! It was just not my day physically BUT emotionally it has been a fantastic few days. SO happy I ran. The atmosphere and feeling here was AMAZING. It was a little different because Ry and I decided to hang out with mostly ourselves instead of hanging out with friends (we just haven't seen each other enough these past 16 weeks and needed the time). I did LOVE having dinner with Andy and Becky and hanging out with Becky at the start line though. One of my slowest races yet. Didn't know exactly what to expect but I really believed that I was capable of roughly a 3:25-27. Crazy how off I was. :) In hindsight I made some major mistakes. BUT ... I did the best that I could do considering my past 16 weeks. So I am totally okay with the time. For my own future notes I am going to outline some of my training errors: 1. Vast majority of miles were on the treadmill. 2. I did very little cross training and/or strength training (I had every intention ... just not the time). 3. These past 16 weeks of internships I have really failed miserably on the nutrition aspect: eating out of convenience and not making smart choices (I am approximately 6 pounds heavier than I usually am when I race ... I'd be okay with that if it were muscle ... but sadly, it's not). 4. Lack of sleep. 5. Lack of proper hydration, etc.: My left anterior tib and triceps surae were battling it out. Caught me off guard. 5. Wore almost new shoes that I was second guessing anyway ... but they matched the best with my brand new running outfit (which turned out to be a mistake as well ... oops). 6. Started out WAY too fast. But considering that it felt relatively easy and wasn't out of line considering what I believed I could do I just went with it. The one thing I thought I had going for me was that I was absolutely niggle free. Turns out that wasn't even close to enough. :) Also, I didn't dare get in a taxi out of fear of cramping up too badly so Ry and I walked the 2.5+ miles back to the hotel. That actually helped a TON! :) Congrats to all of you who had a FANTASTIC race! The ones I know of are: Becky (Andy's girl), AmberG and Rad. I'm sure there are many others! :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE Boston! :) | | Comments(11) |

| Nothing since Boston. Not even cross training. I have been quite sick. I had very little soreness after the race (which was great) but have had zero energy and difficulty breathing. What started out with what I assumed to be allergies has turned into something quite ugly. Kept going back and forth on whether or not to try and force myself to exercise. Finally decided that I cannot risk getting more sick than I already am and that I need to use my energy wisely in order to get through these next couple of weeks. Still super happy that I ran Boston, just frustrated with my lungs/asthma/susceptibility to getting sick. I pride myself on being healthy so when something like this happens I have to remind myself that it's okay and that I can only control what I can control. Cheer up, Buttercup!! :-) | | Comments(3) |
