October 19 - October 25 Training

Monday: 6 miles (9:27).  Brixx run.
Tuesday: 7 miles (9:26).  6 x Hill Sprints.
Wednesday: 10.68 miles (8:39). 3 Easy, 2@7:45, 1/2 jog, 6 x 1:30 on/1:30 off, 3 Easy
Thursday: 3.5 miles (9:36).  Woke up with a very sore right hamstring so had to cancel the 9 mile progression run and just ran a few easy miles.
Friday: 5 miles (9:57).  Hamstring still sore, but better.
Saturday: 16 miles (9:01). Hamstring isn't 100%, but it wasn't bothering me.  Ran 16 miles at Shelby Bottoms with Chris Barrett.  Kevin Barrett joined the first mile.
Sunday: 6 miles (9:07).

Total: 54.2 miles.  Was planning on getting into the low 60's, but the unexpected hamstring issue popped up Thursday morning.  Hopefully it doesn't linger on too long.

October 5-18 Training

I am definitely feeling a loss of motivation after the disappointing performance in Berlin.  So I have not been as good at updating my weekly training.  Will try to get re-motivated this week as I start getting ready for the Tunnel Hill 50 mile race on November 14 in Vienna, IL.

October 5-11 - 41.2 miles.  I also ran the Middle Half in 1:47:55 as a tempo run.  Great course if you want to go for a PR.

October 6-12 - 60.5 miles.  Getting some volume back as I build up for the Tunnel Hill 50 mile run.

Septemer 28 - October 4 Training

Monday: 2 miles (10:23).  Last run in Berlin.
Tuesday: 2 miles (9:37).  Short run after 19 hour travel day back home.
Wednesday: 3 miles (9:40).
Thursday: 4 miles (8:56).
Friday: 4 miles (9:12).
Saturday: 13.1 miles (8:33).  Perfect running weather, 52 degrees and misty.
Sunday: 6 miles (8:53).

Total miles: 34.1 miles.  I recovered quite well from last Sunday's marathon.  With the second half of the marathon being so slow at 2:04, it doesn't look like I needed as much recovery time as I had expected.
