    Ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill and then rowed for 2500m on the Concept2 rowing machine at the gym.  This was just my second time using the rower, with the first time being on Sunday.  My shirt was pretty well soaked at the end, so I guess I was doing some good. I actually think…

    Nice and cool 10 mile run this morning.  Temps were in the mid 60’s.  My Nathan Race Vest hydration pack thingie seems to be working out quite well.  Every mile or so I’ll walk about 10 yards and take a drink.  It’s helping me stay hydrated the entire time and not getting worn out.  There…

    I ran just 3.19 miles tonight, and my shins were KILLING me.  How could I go from being so comfortable running 9 miles on Saturday to being in such pain tonight?  Doesn’t make sense to me.  It was only in the mid 80’s, but I had worked 11 hours today.  Maybe that had something to…

    Tonight, I attempted a 5 mile run in a 115 heat index.  You will note that I said attempt because I only made it about 4.5 miles before I started feeling a little clammy and decided to call it quits.  I still have some soreness in my legs from the squads on Sunday, so I…

    11 hours of working today, legs still very sore from squats, and a 100 degree heat index combined for a VERY short run today.  Just two miles.  And every step was miserable.  It was the kind of humidity and heat that just sucked your breath away when you went outside.

    So this afternoon was my first “official” long run of my marathon training.  I’ve laid out a calendar using Hal Higdon’s Novice 1 program.  I counted backwards from November 6th, so today was the 9 mile run. It actually wasn’t that bad.  I was fortunate in that the temp was right below 70 degrees when…

    Went to the YMCA for a little weight lifting and then back home to run my 3.5 mile loop. Legs feel a little tender tonight for some reason. Friday will be my rest day, and due to plans on Saturday, I may end up putting the long run off until Sunday.

    Ran 5.25 miles tonight in 47:05.  Temp a few minutes after the end is 88 degress and 66% humidity with a head index of 99.  I don’t know that it felt 99 when I was out there, but it did feel pretty dang humid.  Some pain in my shins which I’ll attribute to the heat…

    Tonight I went to the YMCA to do a little weight lifting, then ran 3.5 miles.  My legs are feeling pretty good.  It was on the warm side, but not that unpleasant.

    Got the goodies in from Running Warehouse. I love the Nike Tempo 2 in 1 shorts with their boxer / compression short type liner. Really stops any chafing. I have a similar Adidas Climacool shirt that I also like. I haven’t tried the socks before but they feel nice enough.
