* Solid early week of training, but too much work over the weekend had me coming down with perhaps the same illness my daughters have. Race was a disaster. I am just too competitive. I should not have lined up, working such long hours on my feet the day before. Took it out well and then my body just shut down. Jogged it in just to get a workout in. Long run was a CR, strangely enough, as I felt in a daze (just getting sick) and need massive amounts of rest.

However, there is no time to rest. Club Nationals is this weekend, and I need to be as sharp and as strong as possible, so I am going for a max-mileage week of no taper. Pure all-out training, entering the race fatigued, but as strong as possible. I am fit, just not 100% fit. Will transfer all workouts to the track this week for confidence.

As of today, I am running the workout on Wednesday on the Zilker Park loop in Austin because the Marathon is my focus, not this weekend's 5K... * A great workout this morning. These workouts are always more mentally than physically demanding, as you try to rationalize everything under the sun. First o

What a great workout. Set a loop record (6:11) during my 10:00 pick-up. Crazy.. and then I was able to increase and keep pace. Very fit, very promising, especially with a 4 mi run only 4hrs earlier. Good, crisp conditions.  We, 5/15/2013 10 miles post Staph Infection surgery with two anti-biotics at Patapsco in 1:14:27 Th, 5/16/2013 Work Fr, 5/17/2013 AM: 4 miles easy thru Patapsco in 32:12 PM: 4 miles with two KOM at Sawmill Trail in 32:05 Sa, 5/18/2013 30 min easy around Old Track Loop + 12 x 400m on Norris Ln. with 1:30 rest in 1:04:14 * 5:05, 5:22, 4:48, 5:23, 5:01, 5

Monday, 08-08-2011 AM: 2.59 miles steady out to Ft. McHenry in 18:10 + Weights PM: 6.19 miles with 5 x 1200m Trail in 4:29, 4:18, 4:28, 4:22, 4:25 (rec. 2') * Norris Ln, not recovered from yesterday's 11M race, but no worries, as I was cramming work before tomorrow's surgery. Not sure if I am going to miss any time or if it will be 2-3 days of no running. Will find out at 3PM. Dreadfully hot today and I felt so much better in the AM session. More energy. Tuesday, 08-09-2011 AM: 7.61 miles steady out to Patterson Park in 50:41 * 7:08, 6:43, 6:44, 6:42, 6:31, 6:34, 6:22 (avg. 6:39/mile)... surprisingly swift. PM: Nail Surgery * So, I had a pretty badly infected toenail on my right big toe that needed attention, and ultimately surgery. Should only miss 2-3 days of running, if not less. Surgery went well, no complications. Wednesday, 08-10-2011-Sunday, 08-14-2011 Recover from Nail Surgery * Well, I would have to say I have had a complication from
