To find my Mojo

Warm up - 40 minute tempo run and then cool down.  I felt OK, wish I could had held the pace longer.  I never really got up to my marathon pace....but hopefully it will come soon.

Seven miles on the treadmill.  Did a 4 mile hill workout...OUCH...  I still am not feeling as strong as I would like, but hopefully with time it will come.

Dang...no run today..  It was one of those days at work that by the time it was done I didn't want to do anything.  I had people asking me questions all day and they varied from...."could you do CPR on this baby bird I found" to "My neighbor leaves his garbage cans outside, can you fix that"....I was emotionally tired.

Ran five miles and then rode the stationary bike for another 3.  Work day was a little better than yesterday.

7 Slooooooooow miles.  I wish I could speed up a some.  I wanted to do more, but forgot today I couldn't go to work late.  They changed the payroll date and I had to get payroll out to everyone....kind of funny....people don't like to wait for payroll...go figure!

OK....I was suppose to run 12 miles at MP.  With that said, lets decided if I accomplished my task.   If I want to run a 3:50 marathon I need to be around a 8:45 per mile.  If I look at that, then none of my miles were at MP.  However, here is the debate;  I did run this training run at "someone's" MP, therefore can I say I accomplished my task.  My training schedule never specified "Who's" marathon pace I must run.

If didn't feel as strong as I would have liked on the run.  I did find some new GU type stuff that I really like and I was able to eat the whole package throughout the run...YEA for me.  When I finished I didn't feel completly depleated like before.  However, I still couldn't get my breathing down and couldn't push the pace like would have liked.  This run, with standards from past years, was quite slow.  I wish I could figure out what is going on.
