2.5 mile warm-up in 21:45 + 5 x 1200m in 4:21, 4:15, 4:14, 4:13, 4:08 with 400m jog
* avg. 84.6... not bad. Pretty happy. Had the strength and form. Jerod did a great job yesterday really working on my rotator muscles in my right glute/hip. Only slight issues with right post-tib and left adductor, and running a little crooked (not able to run straight line in Lane 1), but man, was I pleased. Great work.

3 mile recovery on the Rail Trail in 23:34
Th, 9/15/2016
AM: 2.5 miles down Union in 19:08 + 4km up Union in 15:48
* avg. 5:55/mi GAP, 6:29/mi back up Union in a CR. Was tired running down, but once I switched on, I was flying and effortless and strong. The whole way I was excited about how well I was running. Finished up strongly. Only left hammy issues, but everything else rolling. Very pleased with progress. Last week was 16:05. 
PM: Physical Therapy - Left TFL, Post-Tibs

8 miles easy down to the Rail Trail in 1:02:35
* avg. 7:46/mi.. been waking up more and more tired this week, but got out there in the dark, looking forward to the run with fresh post-tibs and feeling out my TFL.. beautiful sunrise of fire. Some issues with R PT, but figured it out and then jogged up Union and finished well around the house. No rush, looking forward to tomorrow.

Rock 'n' the Knob 10K in 45:04 CR



* avg. 7:35/mi.. 1,124ft of elevation gain... HR avg. 176 bpm.. max 183 bpm.. holy crap, red-lined thanks to Kevin Doyle, former 13:55 Hanson, making it hard to catch him, and then when I did, I couldn't really gap him until the major descent (thanks X-Wings) and then hit the "Scramble" which was unbelievable like the Big Round Top I haven't done in years and once you summited it, there was still another climb and then you had to descend. What a course. Really worked my muscles well, but so proud how I held up. Great work from my PT team. Need to keep this up because mid-race really questioned why I do this to myself.

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

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.

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
