Holy cow was it cold today, and I felt it. The morning running just isn't my think, and tack on the mid 20 degree temp, yikes. Felt really tired today, hammy, still sore, I wonder if I am ever going to get rid of it.
Off to eat turkey and drink some bloody mary's

Treadmill again today, lots of miles, most miles every on a treadmill. Not bad, felt weird, I hope I can used to it. My toes hurt, like I was pushing and scrunching them, strange. It was really boring, really boring. Eric ran next to me for at bit, that helped a little, then Armageddon came on, that helped a lot, but it ended at mile 10. Sooooo, really boring. Next run on Thursday.

Got a membership, today was day one on a treadmill. Wasn't bad, it was surely better on my hammy. I woke up with an awfully tight ball in it, but it didn't bother me. I need to figure out the speed, I ran the equivalent MPH, but it seemed a lot faster. While my legs felt ok, my lungs were working overtime, might just take some getting used to. We will see how tomorrow goes.

Freezing out today, I bundled up, so it wasn't too bad. I felt pretty good until mile 10, my hamstring really started to bother me. I wanted to get 16 in, but it just wasn't there today. I thought I had this hammy licked, but it looks like it is going to be a day to day thing. My right foot also hurts on the outside at the arch....weird. Oh yeah, and my left inner bicep, near my elbow hurts, like it did after the marathon. Also weird. I think I need to get out of the cold.

Little tight today, but to be expected after my first speed workout in a while. Hammy was a little tight too, but nothing major still. First 3 miles were not bad, 4 was getting chilly, miles 5 - 7 were frigid, the wide was coming right into my face and the flakes got large. Then, after 7, the snow stopped, as did the wind, and it was a nice finish to my run.........pushing me towards getting a gym membership though.

Felt good again today, other than the cold, again. It has been a while from the last time I did speed workouts, I forget how hard they are. But I ran negative splits, which was great, and my legs felt good.
I did find out today that the California International Marathon is full, so.....now I am looking at the Phoenix Rock n Roll Marathon in January. Guess it will give me more time to prepare........but that training will span 3 holidays, yikes.

Great run today, my fastest 20 Miles ever. Hammy's felt ok, I didn't even notice them till 12 miles, then I was aware, at 16 they were getting a little sore, and 18 they pretty much owned the run.....but it is the best they have felt in a while, even before the marathon attempt. So this puts me in a situation, after that run, I feel like I might be able to try the California International Marathon on December 7th, but registration is closed, for $200 however, I can get in still......
8 Miles - 1:04:08 - 8:01 Pace
First run in the snow of this new winter....yuck. Decent run though, hamstrings were really tight the first mile, they loosened up by mile two though. Again, my lungs were feeling the temp. Did some serious stretching of my hammys after the run today, the feel ok, not great. Well, not it's up to my 16 Miles run on Tuesday to determine if I am going to try and run the Cali Marathon in December...

Man it was cold out today, and rainy. I hit the Kent Trails today, looking to have a good Tempo run. While I did do what I was scheduled to do, I was hoping to do more. I wanted to get in 6-8 Tempo miles. Might be too soon though. My hamstring is still hurting.......getting better though, and this cold weather was killing my lungs, I have to get used to that again.

Easy run today around the neighborhood. The stretching is working on my hammys, I just need to do more of it. My right one still hurts a little, but it is no longer slowing me down....I think. I know my gate is different when it starts acting up, I think I am trying to prevent hurting it more.
5 Miles - 41:43 - 8:13 Pace
Well, I was supposed to run 12 today, but it's dark, so I hit the treadmill. This treadmill, wasn't great. Every time my foot hit the belt, it stopped for a second, and it made it really hard to run like that. Seemed to make my legs really tired, quickly, or they were just tired, not sure.........still not sure about the treadmill thing.

NOt a bad run today, legs felt good, hammy was a little tough, keep stretching.
