Monday: Thought I'd run 5 miles today. My left calf is still pretty locked up. Lifted some weights and swam today. Did maybe 1000 meters swim today. Later today my left quad is knotted. I'll try to run tomorrow and see if I can work out these kinks!
Tuesday: Ran about 4 miles I think. Not particular about miles as much as time.
Wed: swam
Thursday: rest
Friday: run 5 miles
Saturday: bike ride 40 minutes

July 15 - 20
Monday: I'm in UT!!! I am for sure tired, need to make up sleep, but I got up to run. The air has been cool in the mornings, pleasant surprise. I'm tapering now, so today ran 5.05 miles. 38:07 (7:30). Sort of nice to just go off of memory from my routes last year. Looking more at time, then come home to map what I did. Hills!!!! Bam, right at the beginning of my run, to get out of this neighborhood! It's good for me! Glad that they haven't affected my time much. I would love to just run down hill for marathon prep, but what goes down, must have an up somewhere! It's nicer running in Lindon than WVC, more scenic!
Tuesday: 4.35 miles, 32:50 (7:32) Ran up a monster hill today! Wanted to come down for more miles. I don't know that I can prepare my legs for what is ahead! I'll just have to deal with being sore! I'm hoping to run down the canyon for 8 tomorrow, but we'll see if that is in the cards. Tapering... Sometimes I get anxious about not running 10 miles, but really it's nice, being on vacation and all!
Wedesday: 8.28 miles 59:23 (7.11) Scott took me up the canyon, was a great run.
Thursday: rest
Friday 4.30 miles 31:30 (7:20)
Saturday: 5.25 miles 38:30 (7:20)

July 8 - 13
Monday: 5 treadmill. M1 7.5, M2 8, M3 8 - 8/3, M4 8.3 - 8.5, M5 8.5 - 9 up to 10 at the end.
Tuesday: 8 with Natalie. (1:03) My time is off just a little, but we were about 8/mile. A little slower than I've been running, but I don't care, it was so good to run w/ her! My legs were sore after this run though... crazy! Had to potty break twice, also crazy. She told me about Imodium and I'm going to try that on my Saturday run.
Wednesday: rest/edit all day!
Thursday: Hill repeats 5 miles. Couldn't find my watch, but this is the day it doesn't matter! They hurt my legs more than I remember from last time. I'm never sore after, but my legs were burning this w/o.
Friday: Tired legs = bike ride, which still burned, just in different areas! Went 15 miles. Felt good to be on my bike, I'll miss it for the next 6 weeks. Wonder about coming back and going right into the Olympic tri... Feel I'll need to cycle in UT to be ready. I want to swim at least 1/wk too.
Saturday: 12 miles 1:30: 34 (7:32) This was a good run. I ate 1/2 bagel and 1/2 yogurt for bfast. I took Imodium to try... worked... didn't poop for the next two days! If that is what it takes to get me through a marathon w/o pooping I'll take it!!! I did take G-rade and some chews. May as well hydrate and fuel no matter the distance, so I can run my best. Felt a little tired first 4. Took me a minute to settle in. Felt very strong finishing. The last 4 felt good and easy. Ran first 4 in 30:25, next 4 in 29: 51, then last 4 in 30: 17. I think I'll try to watch my miles every 4 or 5 miles with the marathon, to make sure I'm on pace. Now I taper, marathon in less than two weeks!

July 1 - July 6
Monday: 5 tml workout with hills.
Tuesday: 8
Wednesday: cross train at home 40 minutes.
Thursday: 22 miles. Went 14 outside then finished 8 on the treadmill. I prepped well for this run. I ate a bigger lunch then ate a small dinner. I ran the whole time w/o stopping for a potty break. I left at 6. The humidity was tough. At the hill I had to stop for a second to catch my breath, tough. It started raining at mile 14 so I called M to come and get me. Not really to get out of the rain, I was drenched head to toe, but again, I'd run out of fluid, underestimating just how freaking bad the humidity was... it was like 90% humid! We got home and I went downstairs to finish. I could breath just fine and finished. I ran the 14 in 1: 50 ish (7:50) then ran the 8 in 1:04. I kept it at a 7.5 (8 pace). It feels good to have that done and under my belt prior to the marathon.
Friday: rest
Saturday: ran while up camping. did at least 4 then maybe a mile of sprints. I was more concerned about getting at least 40 minutes in.
Tuesday: 8
Wednesday: cross train at home 40 minutes.
