Stopping on a repeat, and paced by a 12 year old. Just your run of the mill tempo workout :)
The email last night to Jerry after the workout: Little mental hic-cup tonight 🙁 Workout: 4×10-12 at tempo w/ 2 minutes rest, 2 mi WU and CD Recap:2 mile warm up. Legs felt a little rested, but weird. Like I didn’t have good control over them (or had sort of forgotten how to run?). Started…
Adventures with vegetables
With the Trials just 4 short weeks away, I know I need to be even more careful about what I’m eating and making sure I’m on pace to reach that race weight. With that in mind, my evening meals are generally pretty small (trying to go to bed on the hungry side). Veggies and other…

2:57 and change at CIM…
This is what happens when your legs aren’t ready. Perhaps my worst race in more than 3 years. I have never hurt so early in a marathon; at 16 miles I went up a slight incline and realized that my legs were already feeling very shredded. Oh, no…. The last 6 or so miles were…
