Man, am I out of shape. Have to face facts. Weather was wonderful this morning; about 50, hint of a breeze Great morning to run. And I still slogged out three. Could have forced the issue and done more, but I think my better course at this point is doing three every day instead of 6 one day and then take three days off. I just have to make myself do it, particularly during work weeks.
Have to go to LR tomorrow to appear before the state board, so will probably go stay with Mumb and Pupe tonight. |

Went to Little Rock today to get my ASMB visit taken care of (actually went yesterday and stayed at the parentals). Then drove back, did dinner and went for a run. House to Cross Park, one loop around the lake, then back home. The return trip is a mother with those hills. Actually, the out trip isn't much easier, still plenty of uphill despite the net downhill. Ran it at 9:19 pace, though, which ain't back for my level of deconditioning/fatitude. Just gotta make myself do this kind of run to get ready for Boston training.

Wow, running three days in a row. Been a while since I've done that. Still pretty stiff from last night's hill run. Went to Cross Park for seven loops around the lake. First loop or two pretty painful, then loosened up and got a bit quicker. Managed to take a tumble as a couple of strollers didn't understand "on your left". When I got off the path to go around them, my foot hit something uneven and down I went. Not sure itf it was a hole or the edge of the path. Doesn't really matter. Landed on the grass and immediately back up.
Set up a Boston program today, which will start at the end of November. Took the work schedule into account, with harder/easier weeks corresponding to off/on work. I actually asked Brad Hudson for a suggestion on FB; he responded with a minimal one, then a pitch to pay him $150 a ,month for a schedule. No thanks, I can take your suggestion and your book and do my own schedule -- and I did. It'll need tweaking, of course, and I won't come anywhere near complete compliance. But it includes all Hudson's favorites -- reps, intervals, hill sprints, MP runs, and enough mileage to do the job if I come anywhere close to following the plan. One of the tweaks may be to insert some races. Only thing plugged in now is the FS half marathon in December. LR would be an option, but I'll have to juggle work some to do that. But then I'll have to juggle things to do FS too. |

| Just working out the kinks tonight at Ben Geren. Progression for two laps, then drills and strides for a cooldown. Wanted to get in a little bit of MP time, and got at least 150 yards worth. So the legs will still go that fast. Now I just need to multiply that distance by about 275... If I can get in 5-plus tomorrow, which I think I can, that will be a 5-day/20-mile week. Haven't had one of those since late July. |
