9 miles steady down to Hanover Junction with 375ft of gain in 1:06:20
* avg. 7:16/mi... HR 145.. great morning. Beautiful weather, dry and crisp. Had some right tib weakness, but was running smoothly with power thanks to yesterday's off-day. Gunning for 70-min and just about hit it with over 9 miles of running... good hills. Confidence. Commit.

9 miles with 8km steady in 32:43 + 12 x 80m uphill + 4km fast in 16:42
* avg. 6:46/mi... avg. 6:06/mi... HR 156 for both... great work. Started out in darkness, but feeling great for the 8km tempo although I felt I was covering ground much faster. Loved the sensations. Then hit up the uphill strides, which were solid. Switched into my flats for the final blast, with the goal of progressing and not getting into trouble and all was good until I hit the 2 mi mark and my right adductor just locked up again. Stretched it out and finished fine, but need to figure out why that is happening. Great work.

7 miles easy in 12-degrees/0-degree windchill to the rail trail in 49:00
* avg. 7:21/mi... HR 146.. damn, same as yesterday, but much faster pace and felt 100 x's better. Only issue is that I am still depleted. Haven't been eating breakfast and need to eat breakfast again. Anyway, very pleased with dedication. Dentist appointment today.

6 miles in the new Salomon S-Lab Speedcross at Lake Williams with 728ft of climb in 59:27
* 2-inches of snow.. 16-degrees, wet... now that was fun!! I was really working and really running. Using all of my muscles and really grabbing and gripping. No concerns on shoes after I got used to them and warmed-up!

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
