Nice easy paced run, I am feeling a little cold coming on.

very, very slow and easy run, still feeling effects from cold.

Serious concern! After a slow easy run I collapsed when I returned home and felt feverish and sick all day.  Marathon Saturday is scarey, no running till then.

I had to climb a uphill battle, my headphones broke last night and I was sick wednesday and I haven't run since then.   At about mile 18 I didn't have much left so I just held on the best I could all things considered I beat last years time but I was a little dissappointed I wanted to break 3 hours again.  

A Little inside track work to recover from the marathon.  Travel day on monday so no running.   I did go on a nice walk Sunday which helped recovery.   I felt really good today.  I was happy with the scale as bad as I have been too.

As slow as can be and running out in the cold was really cold today.  Also my weight caught up with me.  I am determined to be better and get back in the 160's this month.

Felt pretty good slowly picked up the pace and the last mile felt good and it was almost fast.

I felt slow and tired today.

Actually picked up the pace for a couple of miles, I feel like I recovered from this marathon maybe better than any other. 

Nice easy run, felt pretty good.

Felt pretty strong today, I didn't really plan on going so long but I just felt great and kept going.

Certainly slow today, but easy does it for race day coming up on Saturday, also I am going to ease up on the miles the next two days.  It's just a half so it will be no problem but I want to do my best.

I didn't feel great today, but I was trying to take it easy and I did. I was snacking all day yesterday as I just felt hungry and my weight Blossumed! Dang! I really want to get back in the 160 range. Looking for an easy run tommorow then a Fast Half Marathon on Saturday in Moab, hoping for a PR.

Not a great race, i really didn't have it today dang it.  At least it's just a measly half marathon anyway.

Nice easy run, nice and long.  Feeling a little slow and sore from the half.

really easy slow day, I met up with some friends and got some extra miles too.

Kind of fun to have some friends to run some easy extra miles with this week 20 miles today was fun.

Wow, about 12 miles into my run I was caught in a brutal hail storm miles from home and I just had to make my way home, I am proud of my 18 miles today, these miles really owe me when I get to Boston.  

I can't tell you how much fun it has been this week to run with friends it's been great, slow but good.  miles are really adding up this week.

I went on a long run with a group today and I got separated from the group and got more miles than I anticipated as I didn't really know the course,  what a week certainly more miles than I planned but I felt good.  Hopefully this will really prep me for a great Boston--  Just over 3 weeks left.

If I said I was slow today that would be an understatement.  The snow was everywhere sticking to my shoes and I felt so slow and tired today.  I worked and still put in a good effort, I was glad to be done.

6 Weeks after the cruise I finally return to the 160's in weight, it has been so slow.  I pushed much harder today to go faster and I did pretty good.  It was nice not to have the snow.  I wasn't as fast as I would hope but It was decent.   Tomorrow will be less miles and I will taper on the week end as I am running the Provo Half on Saturday.  Boston is fast approaching now --- 20 Days.
