I haven’t fallen off of the marathon training wagon (or is it get on the wagon), but I did briefly fall off of the blogging wagon. I spend a few days away from ever present internets while I was visiting family, and since coming back home, I have just had trouble motivating myself to write about all of those old runs. So, below I will list the runs with the most recent first, and if I want to say something about it I will, if not I won’t.

Time: 1:50 hr:min
Distance: 11.77mi
Pace: 9:20 min/mi
I’m really proud of this run. I kept a good pace and managed my energy level really well. I ate about 1/3 of a Go-Lean bar at about 1hr into the run, and next time I won’t eat quite as much because it made my stomach hurt. Also, my foot began hurting at about mile 9 and it still hurts today (the day after). I decided to take today off and pray that it feels better tomorrow.

Pace: 8.50min/mi
Coming off of a long run, I was supposed to take it easy, but I ran this one with my brother-in-law. Apparently machismo made us keep up with each other. Resulting in us running faster than either would have run on our own. Everything they say about the male ego is correct.
2/4/2008
Time: 1:20 hr:min
Distance: 8.89mi
Pace: 9.00min/mi
I ran this one on a tread mill, and I am very glad I don’t have to do that very often. The gym was hot and I got really tired of looking out the same window for 80min.
