| Afternoon, near camp, with Shana. Did not feel great. Have been feeling just a bit sick ... not sure what is going on. |

| running hills (roads) 20:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Asics 2100 |
| 5 x Menotomy Street hill. Definitely not feeling like this is my strength right now ... which means I need to do more of it. Felt pretty good for 6am though. Stretched well afterward too. |

| Okay, so it is pathetic to log 2 minutes of sit-ups ... but I am trying to keep track of how often I do them, and how it relates to my back feeling much better (at last). |

Sunday Aug 21 |
| running long (trails) 2:28:00 [2] | |
| shoes: trail pegasus |
| With Wendy, and Ian for some. Felt SO much better than last Sunday. Legs still felt strong, if tired, at the end. Much easier to do it on trails with a buddy ... hopefully I won't have to do more than one of the 20 milers on my own ... |
Saturday Aug 20 |
| running (trails) 1:02:00 [2] | |
| slept:7.0 shoes: trail pegasus |
| With Debby, laps of Menotomy to try to learn my marathon pace. They were all too fast. Does this mean I am running too fast, or that I will have a super-fast marathon in November??? Or did I measure wrong .., |

| In the Fells, with Wendy. Beautiful day! Even smelled like Fall now and then. Not very sore from yesterday either, which is great. |
Wednesday Aug 17 |
| running warm up/down (grass) 28:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Asics 2100 |
| Clay Pit Pond laps. Nice in the shade. Warm today, but not humid. Stretched well before the session and after. |
| running intervals (track) 38:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Asics 2100 |
| 5 x 800m in lane 4.
3:08 (2:24), 3:09 (2:37), 3:09 (3:14), 3:09 (3:37), 3:07.
Very steady, felt hard at the end, but overall very controlled. Please with the times, which I think is equal to sub 3:00 in lane 1. Faster than last year! |

Sunday Aug 14 |
| running long (roads and dirt) 2:04:00 [2] | |
| slept:7.0 shoes: Grid Shadows |
| Trail to Fresh Pond, 2 laps, then back through Belmont Center, Pleasant and Gray St. I think it was about 14 miles, which was about the right pace. 90 degrees and humid didn't help much. I definitely have a ways to go before I'm ready for a marathon! |

| 6am, with Debby, on the trail. Humid already, felt pretty dire actually! But it was good to have a chat. |

| 9am. Humid. Felt okay, but right quad definitely has issues. Resting yesterday seems to have helped some. |
| running tempo (treadmill) 8:00 [3] | |
| shoes: pegasus |
| Effort felt a bit pathetic. Didn't get my pulse up enough, but the legs were tired and I didn't want to cause lasting damage. |

| slept:7.0 shoes: Grid Shadows |
| Around Menotomy mostly. Legs still very hurting! |
Tuesday Aug 9 |
| running (treadmill) 32:00 [1] | |
| shoes: pegasus |
| Oh so sore still. Extremely slow, but hopefully it will get some of the crud out of my legs and they will start to feel better! I am planning lots of stretching and massage today ...

| Couldn't do the ones on my stomach, because my quads still scream if I put any pressure at all on them ... |
Sunday Aug 7 |
| running warm up/down (grass) 10:00 [1] | |
| |
| Feeling okay ... that is a big hill .... |
| running race (trails) 59:58 [3] | |
| |
| Cranmore Hill Climb (twice). About 6 miles total. Walked much of the hill, as did almost everyone else. I didn't realize that I would be so (relatively) fast on the downhill. Passed loads of people going down on both laps, and had a ball! Of course 24 hours later I can barely walk, but never mind.
Can't imagine having done this race in trail shoes, which most folks seemed to be wearing. Fell shoes were perfect. I bet they were worth quite a few minutes on each lap. |

| With TF then alone. Gentle warm up for tomorrow. Beautiful morning! |

| shoes: pegasus |
| Only got pulse to 165, but it felt hard and I felt weak. Yuck. Pace was okay though (got under 6:30) |

| Warm up and down. Early am, and already humid. |
| running hills (treadmill) 13:00 [3] | |
| shoes: pegasus |
| 4 x .25 mile hills at 10% with about .3 recovery. Felt hot and slow, but then again it WAS hot and it WAS 6am.
Missing running outside. Ethan to camp in the mornings in another 10 days, that should give me some chances to get out more.
