I stole this from Tom's blog because I really like it:
Hudson tidbit: "When it's done right, the long-term training process is like an asymptote. The line that the training process moves toward but never reaches is 'perfect training'.....while it's impossible to train perfectly, it is possible to train better and better." Favorite Blogs: |

| | Didn't run yesterday because I was up too late the night before, so that was my day off this week. Did the 8 today in 1:18. Plan to do close to 50 miles this week but will be satisfied with 45 again. | |

| | Wanted to run 9 since I got a little earlier start this morning, but I didn't make my loop wide enough. Oh well. :) |

| | I ended up not running yesterday because my shin was hurting. It was hurting a little today on the 8.5 miles I did. I think I'll not try to get in all 50 miles this week afterall. And next week, I'll go down to 40 despite my original plan of no taper for the marathon. Better to go into the marathon healthy, right? | |

| | Didn't run yesterday because I can tell I'm about to have shin and knee problems. Was going to swim instead of run today, but it rained and I thought the pool would be closed. So I ran an easy 5 miles. Not sure what to do tomorrow. |

Ran 8 in 1:16 today. Felt kind of weak.

| | Did 8 in 1:17 today and had absolutely no pain.
I've decided the relationship I have with my legs is the worst relationship in my life. My legs are needy, controlling, whiny, overly-sensitive, and moody. If any person I know were like that, I'd kick 'em out of my life. Unfortunately, I'm already married to my legs or should I say, joined at the hip. Ha! |

| | Just did a couple miles to shake the dust off my legs. I haven't run this week because my legs just feel yucky. Marathon is on Sunday. Will do a mile or two tomorrow to loosen up. Picked up my race packet today and the tech shirt is too small. Luckily, it's kinda ugly too. | |

| | Dropped out of the LA Marathon at mile 16. Had a tight ITB that made it hard to bend and straighten my knee. On the other leg my recurring foot pain bothered me. There were a lot of bad factors at the start of the race that pretty much just made it not my day. I could've hobbled on for another 10 miles, like I did in Malibu, but when it was clear I wasn't going to BQ or PR, I decided to call it a day in hope that I'll have a faster recovery than I would've if I had continued. I'm disappointed, but that's to be expected. | |

| | I didn't run for over a week. Just figured I needed a break. But I gained about 5 pounds! Better find another outlet for my calories. I'm really going to cut back on running for a few months. I want to do about half a dozen different physical activities a week. I'm going to include swimming, biking, running, pilates, hiking, surfing, and whatever else I can think of. I'll get healthy, slim down, tone up and again try for a BQ time in Long Beach in Oct. or Huntington Beach in Feb. | |
