AM: 6 miles, :45. Felt good, some spring in my step. Heading to Seattle for work in a few hours. Running should be good there if I can find the time.

5/31: PM: 6ish, :43 miles. Hot! 6/1: AM: 1 mile. PM: 4+. 1WU, 4x400 w/ 400 rest, 1CD. I’d like to try and run a good 5k or 2 this summer, so I’m heading back to the track. Figured I’d start small. Plan was 4x400 @ :75. Hit ‘em in 72-71-72-73.

5:23: AM: 5, w/ 400s. Planned on 4x400, but 2 @ :70 in the heat was enough to fry the legs and I wimped out about 10 seconds into the 3rd one. It’ll take me a while to find speed again. 5/24: AM: 6, :45. PM: 4.5, :36. Both runs HOT.

4/20-4/22: My first days off in 2010. 4/23: AM: 2 miles, 16:30. You know what I learned on this morning’s run? I learned I ran a marathon on Monday. Quads still feeling pretty stabby. Wasn’t planning on running for a week, but it was pretty out and despite the clumsy running it felt good to be out in the fresh air. Thanks everybody for the nice notes about Monday’s race.

A nice day. Perfect temps, a little cross wind, but nothing that was gonna make too much of an impact either way. I rode the bus to the start with a guy who’d run 2:15 at Boston and said even or negative splits were the only way to go, which cemented my plan to go out conservative. Figured I could pass through the half at 1:19 without working too hard, leaving plenty of energy for a strong...

4/12: 7 total. AM: 5 easy, :37. Felt good except for the recurring toe blister. Limited running this week should get rid of it in time for Big Monday. PM: 2, :16. Wasn’t planning a double but needed a little outside time after work.

10 miles, :68. Last 4 steady in 23:50. Felt pretty good. It’s no double Thursday! Which is less exciting following a no double Monday and a no double Wednesday.

Tapering! 4/5. AM: 4 miles in :29, easy effort. 4/6: 13 total. AM: 7 miles in a wicked thunderstorm … one of those where the lightning and the thunder happened pretty much at the same time. Went 7:54-7:20-7:14-6:50-6:30-6:11-5:56. That just kinda happened—the beauty of the taper. PM: 6, :45. Hot and humid!
