Still rolling without the watch. Probably won't put one on until the week before the Run for the Roses 5k.
- Miles:
- 6237 total / 611 in 2013
- Goal:
Still trying to break 17:00 for 5k, and 35 for the 10k. Stay healthy and lower my Marathon PR of 2:42 again this fall.

Had a calf cramp for an auspicious beginning. Otherwise felt fine. Calf will be totally fine, just thought it as funny.

Shakespeare Marathon 26.2 mi 02:44 06:15 pace
Unofficial 2:44:10. Really happy with this race. Not my PR (2:42:31), but not all that far off in the grand scheme of things. Lost at least 6 weeks in the winter to illness, and ran this race onl... read more

Last Long Run 12 mi 01:27 07:15 pace
Legs were pretty dead, though they were a bit better by the end than I thought they'd be. Was probably a bit faster than needed. Gotta hold myself back big time this week.

Real Easy Run 6 mi 00:47 07:50 pace
I tend to overcook some of my easy runs. Sometimes you just need to slow down. No reason to put any excess stress on my legs less than 2 weeks out from my Marathon.

Nice job keeping it easy John, definitely agree that it's not an easy thing to do.

Fartlek Run 8 mi 00:53 06:40 pace
Cut back from the standard 8 and 8 to 6 and 6, 2 minutes hard then 1 minute hard, with 1 minute rest throughout. Felt decent. One last serious workout then it's taper time.
