| I didn't run Saturday or Sunday last week, (boos from the crowd!), my body just wasn't responding to repeated calls from my head. Today, however, I headed out with the intention of running 8 miles at an easy pace but to my surprise, I ended up pretty close to MP and felt terrific during and afterwards. There could be a lesson in there somewhere. | | Add Comment |

| "Hot day in the city...looking good and kinda iffy...", well that's not exactly how the lyrics go but it was hot in Pittsburgh on this afternoon run; around 73*. I realize that this may seem positively freezing in some states, but I'm more comfortable in the 40* to 50* temperature range to run this distance. | | Add Comment |

| I tried something new today from an article I read online: one third of my distance at 30" slower than my easy pace; one third at my usual easy pace, (about 9'30"); and the final third at MP, (about 8'30"). I have to say I felt great after my run. I'll give it a go on my next long run to see if it makes a difference. | | Add Comment |

| Gasp! I think I should have taken it a bit easier yesterday instead of an 8 mile at MP. New Balance shoes purchased on Thursday were a treat to run in, despite having to drag my rear end along for the final 5 on today's run. Oh, oh, confidence slipping for the Boston qualifying... | | Comments(6) |

| I had to cut this one short due to a sudden hamstring issue on the TM. I'm panicking! The Pgh marathon is only three weeks away. | | Add Comment |
