Weather	Chance of rain; 73.5 °F
Notes	OBJECTIVE 20M @ 810-901 Glad to get this one. Most everyone was running shorter today so I started early. Planned on 2 loops before starting but the 610 freeway was closed at the 290 exchange forcing me to take back streets into the park. By the time I was there and ready to run, it was well past 5 AM. I made on loop (with a restroom stop) then reversed course and went out as far as I could based on getting back to the parking lot by 6 AM turned back and found most everyone waiting for me. This first 4.5 mile leg of today's run was in very light rain. There was talk about going through Tanglewood. I was happy when reason prevailed and headed for downtown. This group is fast. I knew this but ... it's fast - men and women. After last week's debacle, my objective was to simply manage this run in a way that would allow me to finish. So, in other words, whoever was in the back, that's who I was hanging out with. Somewhere on the way back to the park, this one started getting hard. I just told myself to slow down. Also, told myself something like ... just 54 more minutes and you'll be done. Stopped at the Shell station for water then back along Memorial. I let the group get away from me. Instead of taking Crestwood back to the parking lot, I stayed on the path back to the park. 2.5 miles counterclockwise then turned and 2.5 miles back. Kept telling myself to simply keep the pace at 8:35 (midpoint of my targeted range). Happy to get it done. It was getting tougher at the end.

Weather	Sunny; 93.6 °F
Notes	OBJECTIVE Survive! It was really hot out there this afternoon! I had a meeting at The Houstonian today so I had to leave the house earlier than usual to fight traffic. Anticipating an early finish to the meeting, I figured I'd be able to run at Memorial Park immediately after concluding. When I launched at the park, the "feels like" temperature was 103°F. It felt every bit of that and obviously changed the complexion of this run to managing the 3 loops for survival. I took several water stops along the way. Run the first loop counter-clockwise, the second clockwise and the last counter-clockwise. I didn't get much relief. When I finished and checked the temperature back at the car, the "feels like" was 101°F. When syncing and recording this run, the calculated average heat index was 107°F. I don't remember ever running in conditions like this before today.

Notes	OBJECTIVE ... ah, run long ... I guess ... This was a debacle; pure and simple. Training plan had a half marathon on the schedule but, ultimately, there weren't any in the area - apparently still too early in the season. So I flipped my run from yesterday to today so I could run with the group downtown. Decided I'd go long since I had failed on a long run 3 weeks (?) ago. This would be a make-up run of sorts. Well, it didn't go very well. I planned for 18 miles but died at 13 and walked it in. Honestly not sure what happened. Felt really fatigued. Not sure what to point to for this fail. My nutrition on Friday and Saturday wasn't very good. I didn't get enough quality sleep Saturday night. The weather was also a bit challenging. Hopefully one or a combination of these was the cause. If so, the remedy is easing.

Usually at this stage of a training cycle, I can hit the paces without using the Garmin as a regulator. So far in this cycle that wasn't happened. I'm all over the board and use the Garmin to help me hone in on the targeted paces.

Average pace	08:05 min/mi		Max. pace	06:29 min/mi
Weather	Sunny; 76.3 °F
Notes	OBJECTIVE 18M @ 810-901 I'm really happy with this run especially after yesterday's debacle! I run an really loop of Memorial Park before the group got together at 6 AM. There were 10 today. I made the decision on the fly to try running with the lead group right from the start. After yesterday and my crash-and-burn 18-mile attempt 2 weeks ago, this probably seems like a stupid idea. Well, it may have been but I reasoned that maybe, just maybe the slower pace I've been running my long runs has somehow tired me out quicker. Yes, I know that's counter-intuitive. But maybe the cadence or something was giving me the problems. So I launched with the front runners and never looked at my watch. I just ran. I actually felt really good - bordering on great - up until about 10 miles in. At that point, I fell back and ended up in a "no man's land" - running slower than the lead group but faster than the middle group - which meant I was on my own. In retrospect, it was fine (althought at the time it didn't seem so great since there was no conversation to move me along). Once back at the park, I needed a little under 4 miles to finish. I was tempted to bail out as we passed the parking lot. I stopped, walked, gathered my composure, gave myself a prep talk, "You've got a great run going. Don't blow it now. Just finish one loop plus at whatever pace." The pace was well off my earlier fastest but it was still respectable. I made the loop with a couple stops then added on to get the planned 18 miles. This was a good run and I really needed it!

Weather	Partly cloudy; 78.4 °F
Notes	OBJECTIVE 1M WU 7M Tempo @ 722 1M CD ACHIEVED Three-way failure! 1. Didn't run this workout yesterday because I felt like I tried rest. 2. Wasn't "feelin' it" when I woke up this morning. 3. Ran a sluggish warm-up mile then launched into the tempo. 7:22 pace felt way too fast! 4. After a mile, decided to salvage the workout by at least doing mile repeats with .15 mile walking recoveries. 5. After only 4 repeats at this slow-for-repeat-pace, I had NO energy; nothing left to give. 6. Walked a bit then decided, "Well, I can at least get the planned miles for the day." So started easing it home. 7. That wasn't working either. 8. Walked home 2 miles. I have no idea what happened today. Maybe I'm a little short on sleep but I shouldn't be in much of a deficit. Maybe my nutrition the past couple days has been a little light. But I eat fruit for breakfast and salmon for lunch yesterday, soup for a late lunch and a simple quesadilla a couple hours before bed. That doesn't even include 3 snacks throughout the day. I wouldn't that was perfect fueling but I highly doubt I was "on an empty tank". Maybe the weather simply got me this morning. Maybe the impromptu hard mile I did Wednesday night was still "on my legs" and/or did more damage than I realized. I simply don't know ....

Notes	OBJECTIVE 2M WU 8M @ 7:40 2M CD ACHIEVED WU 8M @ 7:29 CD Prerun this seemed a little daunting but it ended up being okay. I had a hard time finding the pace ... pretty much throughout the run. I kept dropping down faster than my theoretical October marathon pace than had to back it off. The pace was manageable even in the 94% this morning so I'm going to take that as a good sign. I stopped at the top of Faulkey Gully for a restroom break, on Eldridge for an energy gel (planned water stop didn't pan out as the church was still locked), and at the wooden bridge coming back. More stops than I'd like but likely not fatal to the training effort of this run.

Yesterday was unexpectedly selected to be a wear tester for an undisclosed brand and model. Shoes were good except they seemed hot for some reason.

9M Base Run

Notes	OBJECTIVE 9M @ 810-901 Given how I felt Saturday, I'll happily take this one ... a slight struggle. Pulled a pair of brand new Mizuno Wave Rider 14's out of the archives for their maiden voyage. I think it was at least 2 years ago that I bought a couple of pairs which I have never used yet.

18M Fail!

 

Summary

Name	18M Fail!
Location	Houston, TX
Start Time	8/16/2014 5:33 AM (UTC-05:00)		Category	My Activities:Running
Distance	11.01 mi		Time	01:33:04.0
Time Moving	01:33:04.0		Stopped	00:00:09.0
Average pace	08:27 min/mi		Max. pace	07:01 min/mi
Weather	Sunny; 79.8 °F
Notes	OBJECTIVE 18M @ 810-901 Right from the very beginning, this did not go well. Since I needed 18 miles and the group was generally going 15, I went downtown 30 minutes so I could start with an early loop of Memorial Park. At the outset, my stomach was churning and I felt heavy on my feet. I had been at a dinner party the night before which translated into bad eating and a late night. Was that the problem? I joined the group and immediately fell back and was struggling to hold the pace. After struggling for 8 miles with the group, I had fallen off the back and simply cashed it in. I walked it in. Beginning last Monday, I suffered an episode of salmonella poisoning from eating bad eggs that I prepared. It tore my insides up and I have been extremely week during the experience and slow to regain normalcy. I am feeling like this training cycle is slipping away from me. Not good!
