  • 3rd repeat. I was gonna do two more cuz my legs felt great but my stomach wasn't good. As soon as I bent over after the run I started puking and when I tried another repeat I puked again. I don't know whether I should be happy I pushed hard enough to puke or that it only took this much effort to do so. [1 mi @ 6:30 min/mi]

  • Painful recovery run. Shins hurt then I had a very sharp pain just below my right knee that actually caused me to stop. I worked through the last mile and I think after some ice and 24 hours I will be good to go again. [3 mi @ 7:45 min/mi]
    on 6/6/2007
  • Sick of working so much but the weather was perfect. First time I've ever seen my breath on a run in June. [5.2 mi @ 6:54 min/mi]
    on 6/6/2007
  • Junk mileage. [4 mi @ 7:36 min/mi]

    on 6/3/2007
  • Ran out of energy 2 miles too soon. [10 mi @ 7:22 min/mi]
    on 5/27/2007
  • Tired legs. Finally got on some trails but my legs still hurt from all the pavement running. [5 mi @ 7:39 min/mi]
    on 5/26/2007
  • I didn't feel like running so I went out for an easy 7 mile jog. Jogged the first 4 miles just under 8 minute mile pace. Finished the final 3.2 miles in 7:10 pace but I didn't feel like I was putting forth anymore effort. I'm just ready to run tomorrow. [7.2 mi @ 7:37 min/mi]

  • Would have been a damn good run if I wouldn't have started so slow. Legs are in great shape. Lungs not so much. 1st half - 7.28 mile pace 2nd half - 6.40 [7.5 mi @ 7:03 min/mi]
    on 5/23/2007
  • Recovery run [4 mi @ 7:43 min/mi]
    on 5/21/2007
  • Felt great. Solid pace. 37 min for the first 5 miles. 36.17 for the last 5 miles. [10 mi @ 7:19 min/mi]
    on 5/20/2007
  • 6 mile out and back. Ran the 3 miles out in 21.15 and ran it back in 20.59. First run I really had to push through tired legs and small lungs. I feel like I'm on the edge of a breakthrough I just need some more consistency to my running. [6 mi @ 7:02 min/mi]
    on 5/19/2007
  • Legs weren't there. [3 mi @ 7:33 min/mi]
    on 5/17/2007
  • Good run. Felt like I had a longer stronger stride. Lungs felt better and legs were fresh. Ankle was good. [4 mi @ 7:11 min/mi]
    on 5/16/2007
  • Ankle is finally ok but I had to cut my run well short because of some serious pain in my right arch. I don't know if it was from lack of stretching or being on my foot all day but it caused quite a limp. Hopefully I'll have a better run tomorrow. [1.27 mi @ 7:28 min/mi]
    on 5/15/2007
