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: |

| | Garmin tanked and had to run with a different device which got paused at some point in the run, so this 9 miles could me 10. Not sure. | |
| |
|
| | in 2:02 Only rested about 15 hours between my last run and this one, so my legs were really tired after about 6 miles. In the last miles, I had to keep slowing myself down though, so I guess I wasn't too tired.

| |
| |
| | In 1:20. This run was a first date. Not a bad start. Ha! | |
| |
|
| |
in 2:24 Felt fine. Ran in short-sleeves and shorts in the dark. It was still in the upper 60s. Yummy weather.
| |
|
| | On a hot afternoon after icing all day yesterday because of a near fall on Sat. All things considered, a good run. Garmin tanked, so I don't know my time. |
| Saucony Triumph 7 Miles: 9.50 |
| |
| |
| | This was my last run in the dark. I keep having mishaps cuz I can't see where I'm stepping. Duh! Did this in 1:45.

| | My legs were pretty dead after the 15 miles yesterday and I was running while it was 76 degrees, but I had a strong mind to keep going. Felt like I've got to take advantage of these last couple of intense workouts before I start tapering for the marathon. |

| | Absolutely could not get a run in this week until today. Only did 5 cuz I didn't want to do anything drastic after 3 days off. Hate that this inconsistency came right before the marathon, but I don't think it will hurt too much. Just gonna run a little this next week to keep lose but not going to worry about mileage. Tried running race pace today and really felt stressed. Not sure I can do it for 26. Doubts about BQ creeping in. |

Surf City Marathon (26.2 Miles) 04:09:02, Place overall: 938, Place in age division: 44 | | Didn't BQ...again. Was on pace for 17 miles but wasn't in shape enough to go all the way. Really wanted to quit after mile 14, but made myself finish in case I retire from marathoning now. Proud I just finished. And it's not a bad time--my second best. Debating future plans.... |

| | First run after the marathon made me sore again. Felt the lactic acid oozing out of my muscles. Interesting biological observation. |

| | Legs are still fatigued. Didn't feel fun until the last mile or so. |

| | in 1:20. This was the first run I've felt strong on since the marathon 2 weeks ago. I've had ITB issues on the left leg since. Started some leg lifts yesterday to try to strengthen it. Training for a half marathon. Going to train like it's a full and knock out an awesome half PR. | |
| |

| |
At 5am again. Didn't have my Garmin and may have turned around too early, so it may have only been 5 or 5 1/2.
Knee nearly shut down this run. Gotta get back on the glucosamine.

| | In 1:23. Having debilitating knee pain when I start running now and out of nowhere during my runs. Can't take another step when it happens. Started back on glucosamine a couple days ago. Hope that kicks it!!! I have a Ragnar Relay team depending on me now. | |
| |
|
| | Garmin messed up, so I probably did more than this... First run without knee pain since starting up the glucosamine treatment. So happy! |
| Saucony Guide 1st Miles: 8.00 |
| |
|
| | Killer knee pain was back. Looked for solutions online. Plan to start strengthening my quads through weights. | |
| |
|
| | Squeezed in a short run while waiting to see Adjustment Bureau. Should've kept running.... :) | |
| |
|
| | Started taking daily ibuprofen a few days ago, as well as running shorter distances, and this was the first pain-free run in awhile. | |
| |
|
| | Felt good. Had mixed feelings about trying to make up some mileage with a long run but opted for conservative mileage to keep the knee happy. Iced afterwards just as a precaution. |

| | 2 out of 6 intended miles. Knee pain! OUCH! Had to walk home. :( |
| Saucony Triumph 7 Miles: 2.00 |
| |
|
| | Knee was a little painful but I was able to complete this run with a group who pushed the pace unnecessarily. I was mad I ran with them because I needed to protect my knee. Skipped my Saturday run after this one because I thought I should rest the knee. |

| | First leg of Ragnar Relay midday in the desert. Hot and hilly. | |
| |
|
| | 2nd leg in the middle of the night cool and awesome. 3rd leg in higher than usual, but better-than-yesterday temps along the shore in sunny San Diego.

| | Half marathon in 2:00 and some seconds. Can't break 2 hours in the half and can't break 4 hours in the full. The half is more disappointing since I've run a 1:53 first half when doing a marathon. Oh well, I'll try again in Oct. |
