AM: very hot/humid 14 easy with last 2 miles pickup. Can't really get much done as far as quality is concerned when the conditions are this bad. Luckily I have time before I need to start hitting the marathon specific long runs.

PM: 1 hr. pool run

a little cooler this morning. Nicer. evening was very hot at first then the storm clouds came in and there were some awesome cool pockets that were quite refreshing. Still going to be ridiculously hot tomorrow (98 degrees, heat index 108) but we are almost through it. Allergies getting a little worse each day.

Hot/Humid once again this morning. Controlled effort. Marathon training is all about the strength, not the speed. Had to relax alittle bit afer getting antzy that 4th rep. Evening was very hot/humid once again

Hot/humid again (of course). Tired. Getting in shape from all of this working out. You can actually see my abs.

PM: 5 very easy

very humid this morning. legs are tired. I think I've hit my limit on the amount of work I can get away with on the "easy" days and still be able to recover the legs for workouts. I'm hoping the body can recover quickly before the very hard long runs start or I may have to back it down a bit somewhere here. Marathon training is always riding the fine line between not enough and too much.

AM: 3 WU 8K tempo (1600m splits: 5:36, 5:23, 5:18, 5:15, 5:05) 2.5 CD

PM: 5 easy

legs were tired but they woke up. I myself am tired and need a nap. No time for that though right now. Work is going to get hectic at the same time the marathon specific long runs start next week. I'm going to have to make sure I don't do too much at once. Not to mention I just had my first legit allergy attack this afternoon. I'm very allergic to ragweed and mid August starts the shittiest month of the year until October.
