7 miles easy to moderate on the Greenway with 324ft of gain in 49:03
* 7:19, 7:01, 7:06, 6:49, 6:48, 6:52, 6:36; avg. 6:56/mi (GAP- 7:19, 6:52, 6:35, 6:49, 6:43, 6:23, 6:33; avg. 6:52/mi)... leg didn't feel great to start in the rain. Very soggy ground made it more difficult, but the last 10-15 minutes were the best with it feeling fully functional and 100%. Good run, good fitness. Haven't had a run over 7:00/mi!

* 7:07, 5:47, 8:38, 5:48, 8:28... I'll take it. Went out after breakfast and just wanted an easy effort to test out my calf. I felt light, controlled, very pleased. Only slight twitches of tightness, but massive improvement. Starting Oregon system.

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

That's all I'm saying. I hate being sick. Dry cough. Malaise. Low-grade fever. Just no energy. Got home at 7PM tonight, so I will see if I have the motivation to get out for my secondary run. This morning's run went much better, as mentally, I realized that I have to relax on my moderate runs, as I've been going too hard, especially with the volume I want to hit. So... I finished at 9:15PM tonight, but it was great. Ran real relaxed and finally feeling like, "listen, if you want to be serious about qualifying, you need to accept volume into your life, just for now." And so, hopefully, I have. Brutal. I am so absolutely dead tired. I have to keep reminding myself of Canova's caution at this phase in training: " The athlete often reaches a state of general fatigue which attenuates muscle vigour, but this condition can be considered normal and should not be mistaken for an inadequate physical condition or for over-training." Because without that war
