| Notes | Felt okay on this cool, Houston morning. If my calculations are correct, the odometer on my Mizuno Wave Rider 13's (blue version) rolled past 800 miles this morning. This is the highest mileage I've gotten out of a pair of running shoes. Typically I get 300 - 500 miles. I have no idea what's different about these shoes or how I've used them (except perhaps the way they're raced). | |||

| Notes | OBJECTIVE 9 mi.@ 8:26-8:50 Sat down with the calendar yesterday. There are 99 days until the marathon. I've obviously had a training setback which I won't be able to recover from so I retooled my plan. I believe it's do-able so long as my health and strength cooperate. Should be an interesting experiment. I haven't looked at my splits from this run yet but I'm fairly certain I ended up with a positive split. No, that's not good. Especially when the overall pace was slow and my pacing was all over the board. The good news is that it can only improve and tighten up over the next few months. | |||

| Notes | OBJECTIVE 4 mi.@ 8:58 I went back to the doctor last Thursday. He put me on a steroid pack and ruled out pneumonia (or at least I don't have it any longer). VERY frustrating working through whatever this health issue is. Patchy fog this morning. I felt weak. It's clear that I'm starting from ground zero in this training effort for a May marathon. | |||

| Notes | OBJECTIVE 4 mi.@ 8:58 So, it's been a while .... Pneumonia robbed me of the last 5 weeks of training. Granted it didn't start out as pneumonia but somewhere along the way that's what it became. I was as weak as a kitten out there this morning. It felt like I had a 45-pound plate on my chest. After 3 miles, I ended up walking for about half a mile. I simply needed to catch my breath. This is going to be a fun comeback .... | |||

| Notes | Overdressed this morning. The weather reports of wind over-sensitized me to the possibility I suppose. Inadvertently turned off Garmin while trying to record splits on strides (too many layers of clothing that the device was buried under!). Cheated myself out of ~0.2 miles on the record. | |||

| Notes | Based on Jack Daniels' Marathon Training Plan A and my mileage this week, this run should have been ~8.5 miles. Throughout the week, I had envisioned a 10-miler but once feeling it at the outset today. But after I got into it a couple miles, I decided "... since I'm out here, I might as well get 10 ...." Cool morning. Took it easy. Felt fine. | |||
