Mon. Off
Tues. Off
Wed. Work out. My legs actually feel really good. My ankle is another story. It wasn't bad enough to stop me from running so I went with it. Andy was dong 200's in 2:20 so I figured I could run two 200's with him @ 35 for a easy workout. That actually felt really good for six so I did a couple of 400's @ 71 then a couple more 2's. It took a while to get warmed up but this workout felt really easy which I take for a really good sign. I am supper excited about how I feel. I will build up my mileage this winter and see what happens next year. total today 9

Pisgah 50k
I already said it at Glenn and Gina's house after the race, and I will say it again. Nobody should ever run that hard or that long. Next year I'm running sub 4:30!
I thought I ran very conservatively, I felt great until about 11 miles when I rolled my right ankle pretty bad. I can often run through rolled ankles, this one had me scared. It reminded me of seven sisters. I tried but had to walk/limp for a mile to the aid station. My week mind actually thought about dropping out, Only for a second! After stretching and massaging and letting 10 people go by I decided to hop along to the finish in hopes it would some how feel better. This went on for 8 miles. it started to feel better just before the first kilburn stop, then it started to feel better(numb) so I could actually run with a decent stride again. It all came together when I saw someone infront of me. Thats what put in into my second wind and kept me there when I passed the next to runners, and was somehow able to hold it to the finish. I can't even explain how good it felt to get to the road and push the pace again after slogging over the ridge, and Davis, and Hubbard. Yeah, I finished. That was the best part of the day, but I honestly think I could have run 15-20 minutes faster had I not rolled and ankle. Enough belly aching. No excuses. I ran the best I could have, and will do better next year.

Wed: Workout, 8x800 around 2:45. Thats what it turned out to be anyway. I was going to run miles, then ran the first 800 to fast and decided to do all 800's. Brent Wilmot showed up from Claremont which was just about right to push me through a great workout. We hit all the eights around 2:45. I felt good afterwards which is a good sign.

Eligah's Race half marathon
P.R.!!!!
run foolishly, set a pr. running never makes sense.
previous 1:23:20
new one 1:23:05
I probably should not be as excited as I am. The only reason I am is the fact that I just ran a pr after only running 30 to 40 miles a week. I really think its time to start ratcheting up the miles through the winter, which I have never done before, just to see how next year turns out.
The race: I told myself I wanted to go out at 6:15 just to see how it feels. The pack took off and left me way back at what I thought was a slow pace. The guy next to me kept checking his watch everytime it beeped so I figured he must have a gps, upon my foolish decision to ask what pace he was shooting for. He told me 6:20 and we were a little ahead, which sounded good to me. At the mile marker my watch told a different story. 5:59, NOT AGAIN! Why do I all ways do this. Time to slow down. 2 mile mark, 12:01, Yeah, thats what I'm thinking. 3 miles, 17:59. Well, its to late to worry about ruining the race now, still feels really easy, lets see how far this goes. 4 miles, 24:07, still going, 5 miles, 30 flat. I ran a 5 mile race 2 months ago slower. I missed the six mile mark but could really start to fell the early pace setting in my legs, stupid is as stupid does, time to push. 7 miles, 43:02. Things are really starting to get tough now. Come on legs, lets just keep at a 6:30 pace and we can get a pr. Yeah right, easier said than done. 9 miles, 56:00 flat. I hate getting passed late in a race. When he went by I screamed at my legs to respond. 10 miles, 1:02:36, legs not responding. 11 miles, 1:o9:02. Ok, my legs don't want to respond and they are drastically slowing down now. Next tactic up, arms, pump those arms, come on arms, don't fail me now. Ah Yah. Its working. That was the hardest mile of the race, I was able to get back on pace, 12 miles, 1:15:31. Lets roll, time to hammer the last up hill. OK, its a small, plastic, toy hammer, but it worked. All down hill to the finish. Coming across the flat, oh great, spectators, I must look great, bent over at the waste, toes dragging, knuckles dragging, tounge dragging, come on, look strong. Push through the finish. OH Yeah! 1:23:o5. Next year, sub 1:20.

Legs are mad, telling me I need more miles.
Mon: 8 with 6 miles of tempo @ 6:10 pace. I probably went to fast, but I felt so darn good.
Tues: off
Wed: Track, 8x200, 2x400. The plan for the 200's were to do 3@36, 3@34, 3@32. I went to fast for the first 3, then paid for it in the end only able to muster 2 @ 32. I felt guilty for not finishing so I ran 2 400's, first one in 79 and the second one in 73. I felt good after some rest. Hope I didn't compromise the half this weekend. I would like to run in the low 80's, I just don't know if I have been putting in enough mileage to do that.
Thur: 6 miles in Fox Forest trails in Hillsboro. I have fallen in love with my new shoes. The Nike Lunar Fly. Very smooth and comfortable. They feel like cushy slippers. My feet are loving me for putting them on.

Should have no problem qualifying for Boston, I do have a thought about maybe going sub 3:00 this fall in a marathon. I just need to find one to get into after the 50k.

The first one was in 31 seconds, then fell into a few at 32. I had one bad one in 34 but came right back to run the last one in 29.54. It felt really good to run hard. I still had some energy left so I did a couple of 400's around 74,75. I am going to have to get some longer workouts in next week. total today 7 miles

Ended up being a great day with a lot of calories burned.

Trying to get back on track
It's been a while since blogging or running. I was volunteered to coach a middle school baseball team, didn't really have time but the kids would not have a team otherwise. It was a lot of fun although took all my time away from running. Boy is it hard to get started again after a layoff.
I did a couple of runs with Angella to help her leading up to the Mount Washington race, which she did awesome, for anybody, especially considering her condition. 2 hours 16 minutes. Congratulations Angella, you are my hero. Know she is thinking about Boston Marathon. You go girl!!
Anyway, I have figured out a schedule for my self and am looking to get back to training it a bad way, miles and miles here I come. Lets do it!

week 2, getting excited
It was great to be able to see the group on Saturday at Justin's house. Just being around such a group gives me motivation and excitement to start training again. I am planning on starting workouts with the Keenyans on Wednesdays. Should be alot of fun. Now to just get fit enough to hit some long runs.
Monday - 4m/27:28, felt good just ran out of time.
Wednesday- what a workout. My first one back and It felt great. Running with the Keenyans can make anybody motivated to run fast. Looking foward to hitting these everyweek.
7x400 full rest, 2x200 200 recovery
400's - 68,75,73,76,75,72,71
2oo's - 30,31
I was able to hang on a little faster than I thought I could. Although I wish I could have done one more 4 and two more 2's. Maybe next time. Total of 9.5 with warm up and cool down.
Thursday - 5m/ 41:07, easy run to loosen things up, a little tight after yesterday's workout.
Friday - 0 miles, had to work late.
Saturday - 9m/1:07:21
Sunday - Was hoping for a long run but didn't happen.
Week Total:28.5
This was a bad week. I will have to find a way to get more miles in next week and there after.

1st week back
After alot of time off I am finally finding the motivation to get back to it. I have some pretty big goals to go after if I can find the time to train for them. Angella is feeling great and is starting to train for the Mt. Washington race. My hat is off to her, she is such an inspiration. I have no reason to complain about anything.
3/8/10-3/14/10
Mon.- 8 on the roads/1:01:22
Tues- 6 on the roads/ 44:47
Wed.- 3 with Angella and Bryant, 3 on the treadmill
Thur.- off
Fri.- 4 pushing Peyton in the stroller, 1/2 mile repeats uphill in 4:00
Sat.- 8 /1:00, legs starting to feel heavy
Sun.-10/1:20, 5:30 am, raining buckets, actually the buckets were coming sideways. I saw one car that slowed down and just stared at me. What were they thinking? I was thinking this sucks but after I recover I will be a couple of seconds faster than last week.
week total-42
Overall I feel pretty good about this week. Looking at my mileage and times I am a little sad and slightly ashamed. I guess I have to start somewhere. One thing I have learned over the past year is we all need endurance just to get through life. Sometimes when I start to lose hope I know I can always look down and just keep putting one foot in front of the other to keep moving foward.
