Didn't feel like running all day.  I haven't been feeling very good and both my right shin/knee and left calf were hurting most of the day.  I finally went out and did just 3 easy miles, but didn't feel very good.

Big Workout #16 5x1000m @ CV pace

This was a great workout for me. I did this workout on August 28th and struggled a little mainly due to the heat, so I was ready to redeem myself tonight with cooler temperatures in the forecast. I also wanted to compete against my times from last year this same week, about 18 days out from the marathon.

Did 2.5 mile warm-up

1-3:25 (5:25 pace) 3 seconds off my all-time PR and I was forcing myself to slow down, didn't want to run the first one too fast and not be able to complete the workout.

2-3:25 (5:25) Another good repeat

3-3:25 (5:25) Surprised it was the same time, it didn't feel that great

4-3:27 (5:30) Getting tired

5-3:25 (5:25) Refocused and pushed hard from the beginning.

2.5 mile cool-down

Easy 4 miles this morning, feeling pretty good considering the hard workout last night. I think the two longer runs the last few weeks have been good for me.

Good 7 mile run tonight over to Hurricane and back up past the middle school.  The run yesterday put me over 1800 miles for the year so that is good.

Rode bike to work today, I should do this more often

8 miles tonight with James and Bill.  Steve and Aaron took off.  We ran the parkway loop in reverse (no we didn't run backwards) just the opposite direction.  Averaged 7:50, last week the average was 7:44 so a little slower this way.  I had bad heart burn the entire run.

4 easy miles this morning

Big Workout #17 10K Toquerville Tempo. 

I wasn't too excited to do this workout because I think this is the run that caused my whole shin/knee injury a few weeks ago.  However, on the other hand I wanted to get in a least one more good tempo run before the marathon.  I am going to do few mile repeats next week at LT pace, but this was really one of my last big workouts.

Anyway, did a 2 mile warm-up then got into the tempo.  I was interested to see how this would compare to last time, since I was still suffering from my chest infection last time.

Just a 3 mile token run to put me at 50 miles for the week.  My legs were pretty sore from the tough workout last night.  I think we are getting close enough to St. George that I am fine to start backing off a little.  I'll probably run around the same miles next week, maybe a little less just see how I feel.  The shin/knee pain hasn't been quite as bad this week which is good.
