"In truth, runners don't race other runners. They race against themselves: to conquer their wills, to transcend their weaknesses, to beat back their nightmares. And while a runner can't actually beat himself, he can beat his time. Even years into running, he can get better." Running for His Life by Michael Hall.

630AM: 6M recovery run. Started easy and finished last mile @ current MP. It was light out by the time I finished. Can't wait til its light out when I start. Planning on doing a little hill work on the TM this evening.
9PM: 5M of hill work; 1 min intervals of incline varying from 2 to 6.5%. Legs felt good and my breathing was controlled. Planning on a longer hill session on Saturday, weather permitting, on the Robie Creek course. |

| | 9PM: Medium long aerobic run. I was worried that I'd have to do another long TM workout but the rain subsided and it was actually a pretty nice evening for a run. Battled a stomach ache most of the time but felt good otherwise, breathing was easy and my leg strength was adequate. Finished listening to True Grit by Charles Portis. Never read this book growing up but now I know what all the hoopla was about. Easily one of the best pieces of American fiction that I've ever read. Portis is right up there w/ Twain, London and McCarthy. |

| | 830PM: Easy recovery run on the TM. Legs were really heavy and sore today. I needed an easy day. Haven't been getting very good rest lately. Hopefully, that will change w/ the family headed to my mother-in-laws til Sunday. |

830PM: Great run on a gorgeous evening. Warmest day of the year to date. Able to run in shorts w/ no gloves or hat for the first time. Got home from work, watched the Cards opener on the DVR and went for a run. The only thing that would have made it better was if Ryan Franklin would've held the lead w/ 2 outs in the 9th.
Warm, 6M @ 7:38/mi avg, cool. |

| | 9PM: Easy recovery run on another beautiful and mild evening. Weather is supposed to be crappy tomorrow so we'll see if I can do a long hilly run on the Robie course or if I'm forced to run inside again. |

| | Back to back 20 milers. The way the weather looked this morning, I was worried that I'd have to run inside again. But things started clearing up around noon and the sun even came out. Not as nice as yesterday but not bad. Kept up a pretty good pace the first half but the wind and fatigue made me about 30 secs per mile slower the 2nd half. Still, I feel like I put in some pretty good work today and that my endurance training is coming along. Now I just need to develop some speed to go with it. |
