okay so first track workout with the team. I was right where I wanted to be. Tucked in 3rd behind guys that have dominated me the last couple years and felt strong. 3 min at mile pace and 3 min rest. I felt like there were too few repeats, however just getting my legs used to that effort is huge for me, really bringing all that strength Ive built into functional speed.

my how the guilt seeps in when I don't blog. So im getting out of shape, or at least not making the gains I was hoping for. Its okay though, it has lit a fire under me.

7 miles felt awful averaged sub 7:30 per mile. Revelation = my trainers are giving me shin splints. Probably because my legs are so used to my Kayano's and when i wear oher shoes, it maybe activates other muscles in my legs. we shall see.

so sad. Wanted 18-19 and just did'nt have it in me. I do not know what is going on, it seems like a mental/fuel thing.

Once again, wanted 18-20 and after 13 I just didn't have it. Low fuel again I think. At this rate I don't know when or if i''ll be in marathon shape. frustrattinngg
