Holy crap what a change in pace, I did the first 3 miles faster than my anticipated marathon pace and paid for it after that, I chucked on the side of the road (I got my tonsils out over a month ago now, I feel like I am learning how to breath and spit again) I find that after about 3-4 miles I choke, kinda gross but its effecting my running. drains me quite a bit. I suffered the last 3 miles home slow.

Yasso 800 day with Harmer and Duckett at the Dixie college track. I did 5 at  3:18 pace.  I was really happy with this workout, but wow its a hard speed work out.  Clyde says not to do them anymore, so I will have to work on my speed out on the road.

ran with Harmer and Clyde, it was a cool down run for Clyde, which is still faster than I do.  I did maintain a 8:30 pace, which for me I am happy with.

I am still very sore from my friday downhill run. Clyde wanted me to do tempo, I struggled to maintain a 7:55 pace. I know I can do better. but thats what happened today.

Did a very easy 6 miles with Duckett. around the Summit loop. this was the first time I went counterclockwise.  I actually really like that way.

My left calf is STILL sore, I could not and can not seem to work it out. It is is hindering me, consuming my thoughts while I run. I will stretch more, and maybe go get "the stick" from sgrc. I did another 6 miles today, Clyde wants me being more consistent, so here I am. I ran faster today than yesterday, I guess its an improvement and thats always good. Clyde also wants me getting faster each mile rather than going out fast. so today my splits are:

1 - 8:35

2 - 8:21

3 - 8:16

4 - 8:12

5 - 8:32

6 - 9:11

 

I really slowed the last mile and half. my calf was cramping a bit.   I am also still dealing with my throat, I had my tonsils taken out about 7 weeks ago and its a learning curve with breathing again.  anyway, overall I felt good.
