Not bad for the day after a 20 miler.  More GI woes.

LM warmup, 11.25 miles in 1:26:26, 7:40/mi, HR 157, w/ 2 mile warmup, 2 x Drills, 6 x Strides, 5 x 1 mile repeats (4 uphill, 1 downhill in 6:29, 6:50, 6:56, 6:32, 5:40), 3 x 1 min on/off (4:53/mi, 4:53/mi, 4:46/mi pace), 2+ mile cooldown & stretching.

Good sleep the last few days but still felt like crap.  Nearly bailed again after the warmup but took a pit-stop and got back at it.  Repeats actually better than 2 weeks ago on the same terrain...every one of the mile repeats was 5 to 20 seconds/mile faster.  By the time the one minute repeats arrived, I was pretty spent and really suffered the last 30 seconds of each of the short repeats.  Shuffled back the last 2 miles.

A long work day so I didn't get a medium workout in.....had to settle for an end-of-the-day easy run instead.  Worn out enough that I almost let my brain talk me out of heading out at all...

LM warmup, 8 total miles in ~ 1 hour, ~ 7:30/mi & stretching.

Not my day.  My doctor told me he suspects Celiac Sprue is causing my GI distress, so while I wait on blood test results, I get to start a no-gluten diet.  No way to know if all this GI distress I'm dealing with right now will even subside by Boston.  Then, I made it 6.21 miles on my treadmill when it started making awful noises and the belt started bunching up.  Okay, so I shouldn't have expected this ~ $150 treadmill that I bought at Kmart over 10 years ago to have lasted as long or as well as it did, but now?  Really?

LM warmup, 11.06 miles in 1:18:51, 7:07/mi, HR 160, w/ 2 mile warmup, 9+ miles @ MP & stretching.

MP miles in 7:26, 7:27, 7:36, 7:42, 6:53, 6:16, 6:16, 6:17, 6:11.  First 4 were uphill, 5 was mix, last 4 downhill.  One GI-induced pit-stop at mile 7, otherwise feeling pretty good Gi-wise until the very end.  Rained the entire time.

Felt pretty wretched the entire time.  Pace reflected the feeling.

Just wasn't feeling it today.  Body felt wornout, legs beat, and my right knee had a niggle that I didn't like, so it was really easy to push back today's long run to tomorrow.  Plus, Boston's on a Monday, so shifting everything a day to the right this close to the event is probably a good thing anyway.  Finally, tomorrow is a 20 miler with 18 miles at 10% off MP....in other words, a long hard run (to quote the Brad Hudson book).  Need to get my game face on.
