<p>Good Morning,</p>
<p>I had an EARLY run this morning due to the new work schedule that my wife is on.  It was a slow 3.4 miles at a 10:26 pace.  It was warm, humid and the dewpoint was pretty high. My legs were also tired from soccer yesterday. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yep, just call me King of Excuses!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good day everyone.</p>

<p><strong>FB</strong> - it's always good to have a bag full of excuses, just in case.  Nice job slogging it out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>SRD for me.  Quads are pretty sore.  14 miles the day after a 10 mile race was a great idea!</p>

<p>Dead legs this morning.  Figured I'd just do my short 4 neighborhood trot.  Got to my turn around and decided to head out on my favorite route.  Good thing as my legs just got better and better.  Finished the run a sweaty mess, but felt great.  5.66m, 9:02pace.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>FB--ah, gotta love the heat and humidity!</p>
<p>Asics--Enjoy the rest.  I can't believe you did 14 after racing 10.  You are nuts!</p>

I was able to get in 4000 meter swim in 1:12:45, 4 seconds faster than my last 4000.<br>
Happy training.<br>

<p>FB- Nice goin on the early run</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA- SRD does sound in order for you</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mom- Usually my runs are just the opposite...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dave- I watched the Ironman Hawaii the other day... whew...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got out for an 'easy' 6 in 51:04 this morning.  94% humidity didn't help out the 'easy' part.  Kinda got a rest week going this week.  Probably a good idea... too bad I'll ruin it by racing this weekend most likely</p>

<p>Busy start to the week it seems.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With the hamstring issue seemingly behind me now, I'm ready to start ramping it back up. Time to build back with some XT & easy runs this week, then hopefully jump back into my training program next week. The only thing I'm not sure about next week is whether get back on the 3:10 marathon plan or scale back to the 3:20 plan. I will have missed 3 weeks of training by then, and I'll be only 6 weeks out from the 9/10 HM in Vermont that is supposed to be my Chicago tuneup race. Funny how that clock keeps ticking...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today - a little bike/run brick workout is planned, indoors due to continued sauna effect outside (74 dewpoint). Stationary bike for 30-40 mins, then a 10-minute jog. And RA, you're right (from a few days ago), I definitely need a bike trainer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FB - good job getting out there this morning. I have a soccer game coming up next Sunday (skipped the first 2 because of my injury); those summer games sure bring it home on why the pros in Europe play through the winter instead.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - enjoy the rest day and BTW well done on the race.  Trail races vary wildly of course and it's hard to compare between one and the other, or for that matter even the same race year to year, but that looks like a really good result to me. (zrun, you did that too, right?)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dave - 4000 meters??? I can't even imagine how many hours that would take me. <span><img alt="surprised.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/surprised.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>4bm - way to reach for a little more this morning and get the payoff</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - nothing like an easy six made hard by the humidity</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kfuller - nice job banging out the 6 after a late night drive</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Gym workout done as planned. 30 minutes riding, 8.5 miles. Then off the bike to jog at super-easy pace for 10 minutes. Inching back up that ramp to training.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Felt good to finally do a real workout again.</p>

<p>Yeah, it's hard to compare this race to any other race in the area.  I've run it a few times with the following results:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2008</strong>: 1:10:22 (74 / 657 OA)</p>
<p>went out too fast on tired legs, with a 1:06 goal, and was chewed up by the hills.  Note; that year I posted my 10 mile PR (1:04:18) yet got a PW in this race.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2009</strong>: 1:08:42  (103 / 739 OA)</p>
<p>course reversed, making it easier, but I was too conservative early.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2011</strong>: 1:08:17 (52 / 749 OA)</p>
<p>better strategy = better relative performance.  I beat a lot of typically much faster runners.  There's room for significant improvement on the early hills.</p>
