Just knocked out a quick one today. I’m either going to run a 5K for UTSA with Kristen and the dog this weekend, a half marathon, or both.

Ran another 5K today

Oops! Everything has been blurring together lately. I haven’t missed a day running but I forgot to post Thursday’s run! I ran a 5K on that day, so I’m just going to add it as day 45 instead of trying to recalculate everything.

Nothing interesting.

Worked a lot today. Just knocked out two sub 10s.

Getting pretty easy to run 2-3 miles at sub 10 with minimal effort. Going to keep it light before the half marathon as it’s going to be 2-3 hours of running.

Felt pretty good today and ran pretty quick considering I traveled 10 yesterday. 3 miles @ 9 min 30 second pace.

I didn’t sleep last night, nor did I feel all that well today. It’s also a day off work, my last day if I’m being specific before heading back. It was one of those days I just knew I’d be better off laying around all day but that’s the funny thing about setting an intention – you can’t make excuses.
I was so slow, my splits were as bad as they’ve ever been. I knew it was going to be a bad day from the start considering I’ve had plenty of 3 to 5 mile runs in the 40 days thus far that have been around a 10 minute pace of less. It’s almost as if someone would have to work to steadily decrease each mile. Mile six a group of kids rolled up on me asking about my airpods so I moved a bit quicker 😂.
It was also raining and I was pretty wet. I started to rub out a pretty gnarly blister around mile 7. All in all it was just one of those days where you don’t feel it and I paid the price. I’m thinking I’ll try again for 13.1 good miles next weekend or the weekend after. We’ll see.

Just a walk/rest day today.
Tomorrow (depending on how I feel) I’m going for 10 or a half (13.1). Either way, I’m looking to break 100 miles on day 40.

I’ve read that lots of marathon runners choose to eat pizza before a race. This is like the third time since starting this that I’ve eaten pizza before running and I’m starting to see why.
The last thing you feel like doing when you’re full of pizza is going for a run, but once you start and get past that first mile you feel like you can go forever. I was going to do six but at around 3.3 I started getting chased by a pit bull and I had one of my dogs with me so I high tailed it home.
My plan is to take it easy tomorrow and go for broke on Monday. I’m going to see how I feel that day but I’m thinking about running 10 miles or a half marathon at 13.1 miles. We’ll see. I should get more pizza…
