Run #59

Another long run down to Shelley Lake and North Hills Greenway.  Great run down through there.  Felt pretty good overall--tried the SCaps, and they are AWESOME!  I sweat pretty hard, so these definitely help keep me going.  Clif Blocks too.

You can't see it that well, but this pedestrian bridge over 540 has a message...Prom?.  Awesome.  Hope she said yes.

Run #57

Another run, on a slow week.  Just down the Greenway, and very slow, mostly. Picked up at the end.  Thank goodness for a recovery week.   22 on Saturday!

Run #56

Ugg.  Glad it is a recover week.  Felt turrible today.  Head pounding.  Cold.  Sore.  Did 800s, but not happy.  Even pounding down this hill, my head felt full of rocks.

Run #55

I can't run...55....

Ugg.  Turrible run.  Had 800s, but felt sick, migraine coming on, and cold.  Yuck.  First really really turrible run.

Run #54

So my longest run in Vibrams and longest of the training session.  Wasn't too bad either.  I went down to Shelley Lake, Greenways, and even had juice to make it back up the STEEP hill on Six Forks.  I started getting confident that I could definitely make it for the Marathon.

Neat running on some of our old stomping grounds.  The tunnel under North Hills, for instance, and a lot of our memories came flooding back.  Raleigh is definitely not a flat city!

This 53rd post is the only good 53 going on in Carolina...since my hockey team has been GARBAGE lately!  Nice run on a warmish day.

Run #52

Another week begins.  This is the first 20 mile week--20 on Saturday.  Although a weird little week--I may do my long run on Friday again, after doing Field Day at the Girls' school.  Today was 5 800s shifting from 2 to 3rd to 4th gear.  Better than last week!

Run #51

Long run Saturday.  Went out through some rural roads, through some busy roads, and back home.  Decent run, even with all the hills on Brassfield, Ravens Ridge, and Honeycutt.  Go me!

Run #50

The end is the beginning is the end says the Smashing Pumpkins song.  Yup, 50 runs into my training.  About 50 days to go, so I figure another 30 or so runs.  Over halfway.

Run #49

Speed work today.  Back to the path beside the waste treatment plant.  Pretty good run though, 4 800s, then a time trial of a mile.  Ran the trial in 8:56, so I am pretty pleased with that, since it was at 'average' pace.  Also they were putting in the 2nd and final layer of the new Falls of Neuse.

Run #48

So decided to do my long run on a Friday afternoon, with Myra's soccer starting Saturday morning.  Tough run.  Just tired, sore, stomach...so many issues.  Still got the miles in, but very slow.  Overall, looking back, except for Monday, not a great week.  Hopefully just a blip.

Run #47

It's me!  A run down through the neighborhoods.  Did some surges that actually felt good overall.  Need to start getting some strength!

One of those slow to start, but faster to continue runs.  Decent enough too...and got to go over my favorite bridge!

Run #45

Wow...45 runs in this training session already.  Where did the time go.  Definitely starting to feel strong, I  have been noticing recently.  Went on first speed work of the session.  Did shifters out in front of the water treatment plant.  It is sort of sloped, so there was some elevation work as well.

Long run day!  Started cool and stayed cool!  Overall a pretty good run.  Longest yet in Vibrams.

Run #43

Another work run.  Cool, windy day, with rain clouds, but luckily it held off until the end of the run.  Much stronger than the last one, I flew up the hills.  No idea of true pace, though, as my gps didn't work.

Another decent run today.  Like running through the neighborhoods and around the dump.
