I ran really easy. I felt good. My hamstring said a little hello to me, nothing major. I stretched it out a few times during water stops. I'm ready for it to be gone forever.

I ran with music in my ears and really enjoyed it. The park was very crowded and I probably ran an extra 200 meters just weaving around. I felt very relaxed and comfortable. Some very slight tweaking in my right hamstring.

Adidas Ride
I ran this completely at warm up pace. I felt fine, very relaxed. I wore a pair of compression shorts all day yesterday. I had zero aches and pains today. I had a conversation with a British douche bag after my run about what he called "junk mileage." I'll address junk mileage on my other blog.
PM - 4 miles 10x1 min hard w/:30 easy pickups
Audubon Park
78 degrees, humid
5:30 PM
Adidas Boston
This was my first hard running since Boston. I felt OK, a little sluggish. Most importantly I didn't have any muscular tweaks. Things are feeling good. Now I need to get my mileage and consistency back up. I mapped out my marathon program for the next 6 months. It may be a bit aggressive. But if this is the last time I'll seriously train for a race of that length I figure I should give it an honest shot.

I ran this entire workout at warm up pace. I'm still feeling some minor tenderness lingering from my tour of the greater Boston area. It felt good to feel my muscles warm up and progressively loosen. No noise from my hamstring at all — a very promising sign.
OK, so I've not been blogging or tracking my milage regularly. I have been running... some. My training hasn't been consistent at all. I wouldn't really call it training at all. I did run the Boston Marathon this past Monday. But that's a story for my other blog. I'll give a full race report there. For now I'm going to run easy through this weekend. Then I'll begin a systematic build up to a marathon in Raleigh, NC on November 1, '09. I fully understand that this meas training through the summer, a task that flies in the face of convention and in the face of good sense. But I'm committed to it nonetheless. It will mean that I'll have to make some adjustments to my life style. But hey! I'm going to go at it and see how the chips fall. Wish me luck.

4.75 miles very easy

Audubon Park
65 degrees, light rain

NB 826
I had hoped to run a little longer and in the morning. But the swimming pool at Reily was acting up again and I spent my morning trouble shooting with an electrician. I did get in the weight room while I waited for the electrician to show up.
The run was an attempt to avoid missing a day. So I ran easy, in the dark, in the rain. It was quite pleasant. I did have a tiny hamstring snag when I bent over to stretch during a water break and immediately after the run. Overall I felt pretty good.

I ran at what I perceived the effort to be warm up pace the entire run. I felt very relaxed. I had music in my ears. The weather was very nice. No tweaks at all.

I ran 8X3's&3's with the ons at ~ 6:20 pace. I felt smooth and relaxed. I made the intervals roughly easy run pace. This was the first time I tested my hamstring and it felt good — not tweaking at all.
