7 Miles 47:35 6:47 average per mile
11:30 pm) 83 degrees HOT!
It was a warm run today. I'm not used to this yet. I did feel
prerty good though considering yesterdays long run. Ny legs
were a little tired but not bad ar all. I wore compression
sleeves cep on my calves yesterday for the first time and I think
they really helped.
60.45 Miles for the week on 5 runs.

Greenbush Ice Age Trail
Saturday 5/22/2010
31 Miles 4:30:17 8:43 average per mile
9:00 am) 60-70's
Drove down to Greenbush to do my long run. I wanted to get
running by 8:30 at the latest but got a bit lost. I started
out with a 7 mile out and back for 14 miles. I made my first
mistake in this stretch not enough fluids. I had my bottle
but was only 16 oz. and I had to conserve it to make it last.
It was not very warm so that helped. I then went back to the
car and filled it up. I headed out in the other direction
on the Ice Age Trail. This would be 8.5 miles each way for
17 miles. I was not too nervous about my water situation this
time because I knew there was a water pump at Butler Lake.
This was very good because when I got to the water pump I
couldn't drink enough. I was so thirsty I had become very
dehydrated. I was at around my 23 or so and still had 8+ mile
to get back to my car. I was not looking forward to that.
I wanted to quit but had to get back to my car. I struggled
to finish this run. I was walking all the hills and my miles
were around 9-10 minute pace and that was all I could do to
run that fast. I wanted to walk all of the last 8 miles but
knew I would not have enough water to make it if I walked it.
As it was I ran out of water. I also should have had more
food. I think I had only 3 gels total.
So I hoped this run would give me some confidence for the 100k
I have planned it 2 weeks but it did the opposite. I'm pretty
sure I will not do the 100k. I just don't feel comfortable
doing it at this point. I feel my fitness is not where it needs
to be. When I did the 50 mile run a couple weeks ago I struggled
at mile 40. I don't think it would be smart to go and run and
only to struggle again and maybe for 20+ miles or more. I have
a 50 mile run planned for July I should just focus on that and
be ready for it. I might even do just the 50k if I don't feel
confident for that one. So I do have a new plan for this month
a road marathon. I think I might be in good enough shape for
a fast marathon. I'm thinking Grandma's June 19 in Duluth MN.
It will depend on the weather though it usually is either nice
or hot. Maybe this year will be a nice year. Plus some of my
friends are doing it so would be kind of fun to go with them.
I ran Grandma's back in 2005 so it's been 5 years I think I can
beat my time from then 3:18.

5:45 pm) 60's sunny
Finally went to the dentist today. I have put it off for years.
I know that's not smart. They took X-rays and they said it all
looked good. I was very surprised but happy. I go back tomorrow
for a cleaning. I don't think that will be much fun. I'm sure they
will mention I need to floss better.
My run tonight felt good. I pushed it hard the last 3 miles.
My cold is on the way out I hope. Nice to be feeling good
again. The forecast looks great this week. Should get some good
miles in.

Fox River Trail
10 Miles 1:07:30 6:45 average per mile
2:15 pm) mid 60's Sunny
Finally I got a run in. I have had a cold since Wednesday night.
I feel a lot better. Still not 100% but couldn't wait any longer
to get out. This morning was the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. I
went and watched. I have run it every year since 2004 so I felt
a bit sad not to be running. With me feeling the affects of a
cold made it easier to not to be running. Plus it was sold out
this year. So even if I wanted to run I couldn't. Next year I will
be back. Plus I will be a master so that will be interesting.
I watched some of my friends today and my brother. My brother
ran his 24th marathon today. He did awesome! His time was not
his fastest but maybe his best marathon considering his training.
His long run was the week before a whopping 9 miles! My friend
Mike missed his sub 3 goal but still ran a solid 3:02 and first
in the 50-54 age bracket. Lots of others too many to mention.
They all did Great!
