AM- 62/98% Felt good- 7 Recovery, but the legs were not as dead as I expected, which was nice. 

PM- 6 more, had some bikers with me this time. Easy, but again, the legs had more pep than I expected- although the left quad/groin area is sore.

AM- a nice crisp 55 degrees. 6 easy, would have done more but carried away chatting. 

PM- 5 easy- legs were tired. I talked wayyyyy to much today as a whole, at work, before work after work.... Time for some crab :)

AM 64/92% - I wanted to get some intervals in today. I had a sensitive stomach and it played a part in turning this into an interval/tempo type run. Between tired legs and feeling ick my 'speed' work was less than stellar. Ack.

AM- 73/80% - we have a 3 day heat wave coming up here. Actually good timing. We are headed to Fla to Universal Orlando and it should be hot down there too. Hoping to have some heat so when I come back it will be nice and cool for the marathon.... I hope... 7 Easy, legs struggled this morning. Parts of the sidewalks around here have new concrete. Is it me or did it feel 'lighter' on these new patches. Odd. 

PM- 93/49%- Hot, but not that bad really. Legs felt much better. I let them run whatever they felt like. 8:32 avg. 7 Easy.

I had real trouble sleeping so I had to run later. It was hot, 93. We were under a heat advisory, will be 100 the next few days. 5 Easy miles, needing the upcoming taper.

I was not sure how I wanted to approach today. 2 weeks till marathon so I wanted a strong workout- yet I did not want to kill myself and I have been promising my legs some rest. So early on in the week I figured I'd run all 16 at MP, but  since we have 4+ days of a heat wave of 100 or near 100 temps (that I am sure will pass soon) and I am tired I thought a solid 10 mile tempo at sub MP would be good. 

73/100% (I thought those days were gone)... I should have gotten up 2 hours earlier, sun was warm,oh well. 16 Miles, 10 tempo were 7:22 (hills, inclines), 7:14, 7:19, 7:23, 7:26, 7:21, 7:24, 7:27 (rolling hills), 7:26, 7:35 (steep hills). Avg 7:23. Ok I suppose. 

Getting packed up and ready to travel!
