March 31 (78 miles/week)

PM: 20 miles easy

Valerie and I drove up to the Sawyer Camp Trail, where I ran the full length out and back before running back up to Crystal Springs Village to make it 20. After a crappy couple of weeks of running, I'm glad to get in a long run of substance.

March 30

AM: 10 miles easy

I ran in the morning before doing more wedding stuff all day. I felt just OK, but certainly better than last night.

3.30.2013

March 29

AM: 5 miles easy
PM: 10 miles easy

I felt good in the morning running before work, but I felt downright awful--congested, sore throat, and chills--on my second run around Stanford before watching the track meet.

March 28

AM: 7 miles moderate

I got in run on the hotel treadmill, pressed for time in the morning and still not feeling well.

March 27

DNR - 0 miles

My first day off of 2013. I was sick and traveling for work, so I slept in rather than trying to slog through a treadmill run.

March 26

AM: 8 miles easy
PM: 5 miles easy

I got some additional insight as to why I felt bad last night because I'm obviously getting sick. That was obvious today on both runs. The timing sucks because I have to travel again this week.

March 25

AM: 4 miles easy
PM: aborted workout - 9 miles

I tried to hit the track at Stanford, but it was clear from the get-go that I was hurting. I hit my first mile of a planned 4 x mile in 5:05 and felt awful. After a youth team took up the three inside lanes on the back stretch (really?) of the crowded track, I got frustrated and pulled the plug after my next half mile.
