| Slog. Bonk. Death march. Cramps. Weird twinge in right leg. All of the above apply. Weather wasn't an issue for once but the legs were not ready to go 20, especially on a route with a whole bunch of hills. I thought they might toughen me up for Frankfurt's rollers. Maybe so, but it was tough today. Took four hours plus to get it done with way too much walking, but once the cramps set in it was tough to do anything more.

| Back on the mill 15ish hours after the 20 miler for a recovery run. And I took it very easy. Almost didn't mind the beeping because it meant a walk break. But eventually I felt good enough to stretch a 5-miler to 6.33. Why that precise number? Because it put me at 26.22 miles in a 22-hour period. A full marathon. The way I felt yesterday morning, Frankfurt might have taken 22 hours (not quite, but it would have been 5+). The niggle in the side of my right calf, which my usual paranoia tried to turn into a fibular stress fracture, was gone. I figure it had something to do with the road camber I was negotiating. Done now.
Tomorrow night, and into Wednesday morning <very big grin>, I'll be in Tulsa. So not sure when I'll get a run. Maybe when I get back, maybe I wait until later. I'll try to get up Thursday and run with the chickens. Don't think I'll run with the crazies, not with Chile Pepper on Saturday.

| Didn't get to the course in time for a decent warmup, largely thanks to my insistence on eating breakfast (wish I could blame V but she was not at fault in any way). So I spent two miles warming up and two miles with heavy legs after that. Finally in the last 4K I got loose enough to push it a bit. Averaged 8:27 including at least 30 seconds lost tying a shoe at about 6K. Thanks to a shortage of folks in the 55-59 Grand Prix AG, I got second place points, although I was 15th in my actual 50-54 AG thanks to outsprinting a guy from Colorado in the last 200 meters.
I'd say basically it was a marathon pace run. I'd have to beat that average for the full 26.2 in Frankfurt to get BQ. Who's to say that that's not possible with favorable weather and enough sleep, but I'd have to say it's not likely. But we'll see how it goes. Maybe start at 8:35 pace for 4 or so, see how I feel and if I can pick it up from there.
