Month: September 2023

Race day. I decided to try to keep up with a pacer at a faster time than I planned, and it cost. The classic “going out too fast” mistake. It was worth a shot. Paid the price, as expected. Started cramping a bit at mile 17, so backed it off and ran/walked the last 9 miles. OK — lesson learned.

Today was the Erie Marathon. Split time 2:04, finish 4:38. Pace overall was 10:37.

Mild, very humid morning for a run. Good training weather. The left shin is still letting me know it’s there, but it’s not too annoying.

Today’s run was an 8 mile mix of hills and flat. Pace was 9:38. Weight was 147.0.

Mild, humid early morning for a run. Scrap resting the left shin. It’ll work it’s way out. I didn’t really notice it during the run. Glad to get out and back to putting work in.

Today’s run was a 12.5 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:44. Weight was 146.0.

Nice, “easy” (I thought) run in the Sun today. Just a short run to get out mid-day, get a little work in, and work on my tan. This is what I’ve experienced before: keep at it over the months and the “natural” pace will pick up.

Today’s run was a 4.22 mile rather flat run. Pace was 9:25. Weight was 144.8.
