| Long Run I am following a Hal Higdon's Marathon Training Program. Sunday long runs increase progressively then drop back a little before building even higher. Sort of two steps forward, one step back. Today was a step back from last Sunday's 18 miles. Right now, I'm running the first hour of my long run by myself, then I link up with my running club for the next hour and then finish solo with whatever additional mileage I need. Right now, I'm using Archmold insoles which seem to keep my fasciia from getting too inflamed. It doesn't provide 100% protection, but maybe it will help promote the healing process. I'm still using my Strassburg Sock every night, and I believe that helps the most. Also using motrin and ice.

| 1) Lunch 2 mi easy run on the beach. 40 min strength and stretching workout. 2) PM track workout: 4 x 1000m at 8min/mi pace. This pace is pretty easy for me, but moderation on the track is probably better for me right now. Other comments: Mild to moderate fasciia pain. Weight: 152

| 1) Spin intervals class at lunch followed by some modest strength training. 2) Late afternoon "gentle" run which was taxing indicating fatigue from yesterday's track and spin class. Weight: 152

| Woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go to sleep for an hour. Read latest issue of Runner's World. I moved my running rest day to today from Friday. Tomorrow, I'm going to run a 3 mile time trial with the Marines to guage how I'm doing and better predict my times in the future. Didn't really feel like doing anything aeobic today so I did a 1 hour gym workout instead. Had an appointment with my nutritionist. She is happy with my weight loss. I told her I get hungry around lunch and in the evening. She thinks I'm not getting enough calories and enough protein earlier in the day. Weight is stable at 152 We'll see if tomorrow's race will effect the quality of my long runs Saturday and Sunday.

| 3 Mile Time Trial Ran with the Marines who were doing their Physical Fitness Test which includes a 3 mile run for time. Had an excellent run, finishing first among about a dozen runners. Time: 20:35 Splits: 10:17 and 10:18. I have the opportunity to do this every two weeks. I did a slow 1 1/2 mile warm up and warm down. Then a gym workout. On to the long miles this weekend...

1) Trail run with the Fallbrook Running Club. Very relaxed and steady but lots of climbs. Warm towards the finish. (6.5 mi)
2) Easy miles including a PM run with my 18 year old son Thomas.
To bed early tonight to rest for a 3 mile run tomorrow. |
