Feeling awesome. Ran 18 miles in 2:44 today. awwww yeah. this damn program always works good on me. Smile

gonna put down 2 miles or 3 miles recovery tomorrow to get me closer to 50 miles for the week. next week is my recovery week and race. then i hit the next mesocycle of training. i know what's coming and it's the freakin monkey wrench in my back!!! ugh i ate too much crap for dinner. i'd rather have had a smaller dinner with more low-fat dessert. now i'm full of boston market chicken and biscuits and meatloaf... i woulda rather had fro-yo! oh well...

running until I hit 1900 miles for the year. whether fast or slow I will just run.

I don't feel like butt-kicking material! I don't feel sluggish but I just don't know if I have the leg speed to be honest. We'll see!!! I kind of like these times where I don't put all of my mojo on the line. I like the idea of mentally not knowing if/whether I am trained. I would LOVE to run a race like I did during my last PR half-marathon. I'm due for a good race though. My last race was in blistering hot heat and was just gruesome. I'm reconsidering the BQ actually. If I don't hit a certain time this weekend (at least within a certain window) I'm going to leave the BQ goal for sometime in the near future. I am all about doing something smart rather than being disappointed! I chatted with my coach about it and he says sure it could happen where I am a little shy of the BQ. I was glad to hear that because I know my thoughts are realistic. I am fine with it. We'll see how it goes. Regardless I am happy for the weekend outing with my fiancee at the beach!!!!!!!!!! whoooooo hooooo
