| It was just a simple 5 mile run. I went a bit quick, but not very. I didn't want to push things before Saturday's race |

| This is my first semi-competitive race in about 10 years. I hadn't trained as much as I would have liked (I ran about twice a week). This was also my first distance race longer than 5-10K.
My goal for this race was two-fold: to finish strong and to go as fast as I could without dying early. I feel like I accomplished it. For the first 3.2 miles I was just under 6:30 pace. After the course flattened out, I slowed a bit. By 9 miles my legs were cramping a bit, and I had some knee and foot pains. After a mile my knees were better, but my legs and feet ached to the end. I wasn't as familiar with the course as I should have been, so I didn't push it through the end (I didn't want to speed up the last mile to find out there were 2 miles left). If I did it again, I would have pushed a bit harder through the last 4 miles, but I learned.

| This morning I woke up at 6 to go for a workout. In my warm-up I was still pretty stiff from Saturday's race. My knees weren't hurting like they were yesterday or friday, but my muscles are pretty stiff. I decided to do a 5x800 meter workout. My target pace for this was 6:00 mile pace. Between each interval, I rested for about 1:30. My times were as follows: 3:07, 2:58, 2:53, 2:57, 2:57. The first was a bit slow as I was trying to find the right pace (and I had a watch problem). They actually were a bit easier as I did a few more. I dry-heaved after the 3rd and at-the-end-of/after the 4th (it's a good thing I hadn't eaten). However, after the last leg, I was fine. I think I just need to work on not dry-heaving. I felt pretty good about the workout. I need to build up my speed and mileage, but today was a good start.

| RPE: 3 Today was just a easy run. I am still a bit tight from yesterday's workout (and probably from Saturday). It wasn't too bad, though.

| RPE: 7 I wasn't really in the mood to run today. After warming up fo ra mile, I ran 3 miles at 6:20, 6:30, and 6:30 pace. I really meant to run 4 miles, but I got lazy. I really think I could have done another mile at this pace. I then warmed down for a mile. |

| RPE 2. I ran an easy 5 miles today (40 minutes). It felt pretty good.

| Easy 12.17 miles. I enjoyed running at the beginning in the rain. After 1:20, I was about ready to be done. It wasn't difficult, I was just done running on long straight flat roads. I felt good afterwards. I was really close at the end to running another mile, but I was done. It took 1:35. |

| RPE: 3 It was just an easy 4 miles. I am really enjoying running each morning. Each day I wake up excited to run. I wanted to run intervals, but I couldn't find my watch in the dark.

RPE: 9 Today I warmed up for 1 mile and then ran 7x800m. The times were (in order): 2:52, 2:56, 2:57, 2:57, 2:56, 2:55, 2:41. These were a bit faster than last weeks reps. I also did more. I feel like I am gradually getting better. The last one took a lot out of me. I felt good after the cool-down, though. |

| RPE: 7 This is just a guess at mileage. I ran for 19 minutes up a mountain. It then took me 8 minutes to run down. It was pretty killer, but after running downhill I felt fine.

Today was an interval day. I ran 6x1000m with 2 minutes rest in between. The legs were in 3:42, 3:41, 3:41, 3:38, 3:44, and 3:34. I was pretty beat at the end (I pushed that last interval hard), but it wasn't nasty. It was good to start up a good running week again.
