AM: 21 mile progression run with the last 7 at marathon effort.

PM: 1 hr. pool run

My watch, and my buddies' watches were screwy today. It seems we were all off at various points and in the last seven were running at 5:25-5:30 effort through the long Bethesda tunnel and I ran 5:48 and Greg ran 5:57 and we were running side by side. Needless to say I think he satelite reception in DC was wonky today. The effort is what really matters though. Threw down a couple of sub 5:20s on the last two miles.

NOTE: had a PowerGel for the first time. no side stitches but it sat in my stomach like I had to hit the bathroom. My friend said to try to eat them more often when running in order to train your stomach to accept them. I might try this theory this week and see if I can stomach power gels. I am done with Gu and Shot Bloks--gag.

cold this morning, 34 degrees. I was happy with this since the trails had a lot fewer people biking and running. The best part of winter was always the lack of other people on the trail.

killer workout this morning. Killer as in good. Started at 79/78 but by half way we were going mostly 76/75 then progressed to 72/75 with the last one at 68. Great weather and getting into good shape leads to great workouts. One month out from Philly right now.

Legs are tired this morning. Work has been more stressful and busy this week and I'm rushing around the house getting crap for a party we are having tomorrow while trying to maintain m normal 8 hrs of sleep a night and 14-16 mile days you tend to run out of time. This week of training is very important for Philly and I am fine but I could use a nap.

Great weather this morning. Woke up at 4:30 am and had to get some more food. I was really hungry but then felt great on my run to work.
