AM: Ran in the cowtown marathon this morning. Hot and humid out for the run, but whatever they are the elements and we all face them. Goal was to run sub 2:36:22 since this was the prize incentive. Just wanted to get a good effort below that pace and make some money. Long story short, wanted to build a cushion barring my fitness not being that great/weather type of thing. Ran the half, with a port-o-john break in 1:15:30s. So had a huge cushion mounted, but never really slowed down just kept it clipping in the 5:40s range and really felt strong and good. Nice little confidence booster workout for the future. Ready to mount to some bigger races in the future. 25 guys under and 2 females. Giving a grand total of $926 for the earnings. Not bad for a long/harder effort workout. Pleased with the outcomes! Nice start to my weekly mileage. Few extra tenths with the shakeout strides and to look for a quick bathroom spot pre-race.

AM: 5.5 easy miles on the tread. Wanted to stay on a nice soft surface. Just spin the lactic out of my legs. Felt ok. Probably all I will do today. Long, busy day back at the school.

PM: ran to the rankin track to spin out some of the junk from the weekend out of my legs. 2.5mile warm up then did 4x1 mile with 800m rest. Did just enough to spin my legs, ran 5:13, 5:14, 5:14, 5:04. Just enough to feel a little burn. Started feeling really well after the track work and decided to add an extended workout to make it a mid-week long run. Finished up with some strides at the end of the run for the final mile or so. Nice and Cold air, but felt good to get my legs moving since the weekend.
