| Tried to run steadily at marathon pace. Failed (need more practice). Splits for the 1850m loop were: 9:16, 9:25, 9:00, 9:06, 9:04. Guess I improved at the steadiness. I am questioning the measurement, as 8min pace should be 9:15, but it felt way too slow (and I am not that fit). Going to look back at my old times ... |

| 5 x .5 mile on the treadmill with .3 recovery. 3:07, 3:07, 3:07, 3:06, 3:05. Roughly. Felt fine, though definitely harder at the end. Could have done more or gone faster.
My leg didn't get tight, due I guess to so much good stretching before and over the past few days. |

| Okay, so it was only a little, but it was all overhead sculling - so I wanted to log it to explain why my arms and shoulders will be so sore for the next few days! Fun though! |

| 9:30pm. Too late, but did it anyway. Then stayed up even later watching Olympics... |

| 10am. Much less humid than last week (phew!). My right leg was tight for the first 50 minutes or so, then it relaxed. I give up on predicting what it will feel like. It did definitely relax on downhill stretches.
Took GU at 45 and 90 minutes, and finished feeling pretty fine. The 500 ml of water I took was nearly but not quite enough. 750 next time.
Stretched dutifully for about 20 minutes afterward.
Overall, I'm feeling fairly positive about the Stone Cat now - this weekend was a bit of a test, and it seemed okay. My leg doesn't seem to be getting any worse with increased training ... |
