| Master's swim this morning. 3,400M. Not the best workout. The sets were mundane and lacked creativity. Spoke to Darrin about the workout. Weights again at lunch. Plan on 4X's a week on weight training for 8 weeks, prior to NYC Marathon training. |

| Ran 5 miles with Laura this morning. The temps hovered in the low 40's. Windy after the storms last night. Good run. Laura mentioned her IT band was acting up. Need to get her on stretching more. |

| Ran with Laura. We ran the Saunders Loop. It was so dark in areas that we kept bumping into each other. Good run. The effort was a little forced with the heart rate increased. Stretched at home before heading to work. | |

5 mile recovery run. Have been hitting a lot of hills so I asked Laura to meet me at LTF. We ran the 5 on the treadmill at a light pace. Trying to show Laura that stretching is an important part of the run as well. We spent 15 minutes stretching. Lunchtime will consist of weight on the lower body. |

| 8 miles with Ann Marie and Evan. Averaged 7:50's for 7 miles. The last mile I peeled off and ran a cool down. Legs were a little fried after the hills on this course. | |

| Laura and I ran with the Totally Running Group. We thought a few runners would hang with us for the 11, but most dropped off within a couple miles. We averaged 8:08's. | |

| Went up to Mountain City, GA and ran the Warrior Dash with a bunch of friends. My heart rate was max'd and legs felt fried. Not use to the speed and VO2 feeling coming off of Boston. I have some work to do to get some speed back. |

| 6 miles easy, but they were anything but easy. After the tough run on Friday, 11 on Saturday and buring the legs out on Sunday at the Warrior Dash, it too every effort to hang with Laura this morning. Going to rest for a couple of days. |

Master's Swim: 2,950M. I have read a number of articles by "runner's" who state that swimming is not a good means of fitness for runners. I do not believe this. I don't believe you can replace running with swimming, but as a recovery or cross training day, my fitness levels are higher than any run day. I think it is an individual preference and each runner should incorporate into the training cross training that works best for them.
Upper body strength training at lunch. |

| Ran a 5K this morning. The Longhorn 5K to support the X Country team. Course was very hilly and the marathon legs still plague me. Got 3rd in 40-49 AG, at a poor time of 21:30. |

12 miles with Bob and Laura. Bob peeled off after 2 miles and headed back. He was running a fever but decided to tag along anyways. He is a grown man and should know better. Averaged 7:50's for the 12 miles. |
