re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Much better four-miler today: 33:20 (8:20/mile). I was really struggling yesterday for whatever reason. Maybe it was lower back pain, the significant sustained winds of about 10 - 15 mph blowing in my face (#giggity), ramping up weekday mileage (I've run so far 16 miles this week and never more than 11 on average in the past), or maybe I'm just a big ol' pussy. I'm not sure what it was yesterday, but I'm glad I could get back on track today. I had a very nice first two miles and got it in under 16 minutes. I slowed pretty good thereafter however. I hope to be more consistent on Saturday when I run another eight.

Hope y'all are doing well.
