worst fucking run ever.
set out to do 10m today. wheels came off after 5. walked a total of a half mile over six stops on the last 5 miles. Felt the resurgence of an old left calf injury on mile 9.
FUCK that was really really shitty.
Got home, very cold, soaked through from sweat. left hammie locked up when I tried getting off the floor.
Sat in an ice bath for 10 minutes, stretched, drank pickle juice (supposed to help).
going to take a hot bath with epsom salts in a few, then stretch.
FUCK ME IN THE EYE SOCKET!
half marathon is next Sunday. God damn you running gods. why couldn't you have just given me a nice last long run before the race? WHY!?!??!?!?
oh, stats - finished 9.4 miles in 1:23:39, 8:50 avg pace when running. Including the stops it took me 1:35:20 for an average of 10:08/m

43 degrees, raining. 3.6 miles, in 36 minutes. Not the most awesome weather, but I ain' gonna melt from a little water.
First time i've run consistent 10min splits across the whole run! usually it's high 10s, low 11s, maybe a high nine.
but this... this i'm happy with. That'd have been what, a 32:00 5k time? My last official 5k was in the 35s.

I'm taking about a week off from running due to my knee feeling funny. And my diet has sucked for about a month and a half - gained three or four pounds back. Need to get myself back on track.
Got two cross races this weekend to help, and it looks like we will have some mud

doing one last very easy run today before the half on Sunday. I'm starting to notice all the weird stains and tightness that I normally inventory before a race. It's like two days before the event I become some sort of hypochondriac...
today should be 4 miles at a s-l-o-w pace, trying to target a 9:30/m pace, about a mile slower than what I want to do on Sunday.

how do you train your body to run a slower pace than normal without burning yourself out or hurting yourself?
running a 7miler this evening
I just don't run as fast?

for real? I think you're broken.
Besides, 1min/mile slower isn't all that slower in reality, especially when you average it out.
the easiest way for me to run slower is to lengthen my stride and slow my leg turn over but keep my form the same. That's the hard part, is keeping form.
I dunno, I just treat it like a jog instead of a run and it works out

Good luck on sunday Beefy...I expect to a new PR out of you. 
I'm gonna just take this one easy I think. Not gonna shoot for a PR. the training between the last half in early October and this one hasn't been all that great, and with the really shitty 10miler and cramping I had last Sunday I don't know what this Sunday is going to end up like.
My strategy is to go easy for the first 5 and see how I feel, then reassess for the last 8.

I'm playing my tiny violin right now for ya. J/K....who knows, maybe the lighter training load will be good for your race.
Had a pretty good run today. Used runkeeper again and it says I did 4 miles in 33:28...8:23/mi. Again, I can't believe how my speed has increased over the last few months...if I wasn't pushing that stroller I'd be sub 8's for sure. Hopefully I'll get a solo long run in this weekend.

didn't snag a PR, but I got a course record. I guess that's something. Legs felt like cement through mile 4, and I fought off cramping from 10 on. Wasn't the best outing, but I am at least grateful I didn't run it slower than last year.
Last year time: 1:59:19
This year's time: 1:57:55
Sure it's only 1:24 faster than last year, but faster is faster.

thanks guys. all I know is that from now on I need to make strength training and weight loss equally as important as running. since i started running in July of '08 I have only been focused on running - not even cross training.
I have to take the plan that Lewis gave me seriously if I think I'll improve on the barely sub-2 times.

3.5 miles at lunch, no watch though. Hammies feel pretty strained after yesterday's run. Almost had them collapse and cramp up coming down into the chute.
might take two days off from running to let them rest up.

5 mile run this morning. Made it a point to hold back a little bit and focus on what a steady moderate pace feels like so I can find the zone I want to be in for my half. 45 minutes even. Really didn't feel all that great when I started, but after about 3 miles I felt like I could have gone all day.
nice work! I love that feeling when you hit the zone and your energy feels endless.
