* Alright, salvaged a sick week of training, especially early on, and then got some relief traveling to Dallas with some break in the weather. However, by Saturday I was still unbalanced and my muscles were not yet coordinated nor fit. I had a pretty solid 14-miler on Sunday, with the only mile split I clocked a surprising sub-6:25 pace. Ran in my Ravenna's, which is the first time in a long time that I have run a long run in trainers and it went very well. Still need to start incorporating some supplemental exercises to get full balanced and strong.

Mo, 6/6/2016 6 miles easy on the Greenway in 45:45 * avg. 7:34/mi... right adductor is seriously tight. Am going to switch days, not double today and get treatment with Jerod. Just jacked up and tight, but feeling in good shape. Got up at 5AM because thought I was going to run 9 miles, but called it at 6. Will shift around the schedule. Tu, 6/7/2016 AM: 6 miles steady on the Greenway in 44:54 * avg. 7:25/mi.. identical run to yesterday. Goal today is to double. Felt really good. Adductor was great, thanks to Jerod. No problem, some tightness/pain in my left post-tib from needling, but overall I focused on making purposeful strides and finished up quite well. Thinking of Moorcroft the whole way. This is going  to be fun. PM: 3 miles easy on the Greenway in 23:54 * avg. 7:58/mi.. felt great! Legs are healthy. Like I didn't run. Thought I was running much faster, but my stomach was full from Korean BBQ Cup!! Very promising. Very pleased.  We, 6/8/2016 Warm-up, 1500/800/3...

Some tightness in my right hip area and hammies. But glad I got through it. Good run, mission accomplished. Wednesday, 09-07-2011 5 miles around Elkridge in 34:05 * 14:29, 13:26, 6:43 (avg. 6:55/mile)... nice, easy and controlled Thursday, 09-08-2011 9 mile fartlek around Patterson Park with 24 x :40 fast, 1:20 easy in 55:43 * avg. 6:25/mile.. rainstorms cancelled my morning effort and so I had to run during lunch, which was not great. Light rain and was not feeling great at all. A tough run but was amazed at the final pace. ...
