I sure could tell this morning that I ate a lot of junk food and drank too much last night (even if it was sprite).  We had a little super bowl party at Rhetts house and there was a lot of food and not so good for you food.  Anyhow, I was a little less energized for my run this morning.  My legs felt good, but cardio wise I was not as good as some of my runs last week.  I took it easy on the run and am saving my interval run for Wednesday.

I have discovered that I run much faster when I am wearing shorts vs. running pants.  Not sure why, but my legs feel much better when I am wearing shorts.  That being said, I had a nice run this morning and the legs felt more energized than they did yesterday.  Tomorrow will be a longer run with intervals.

I had a terrible day on Tuesday.  One of the worst days I have had in a long time.  I didn't feel like eating and basically did my run on Tuesday and at nothing until 6 that night.  Even when I ate, I didn't feel like eating much so I only ate a little.  Lets just say it really hurt me on this run.  I tried to do intervals and was able to do about 5 miles worth of intervals, but after that I was spent and just ran in at a moderate pace.  I guess food is pretty important.

Just a normal run with some 30 second tempo bursts about every mile.

I had a great run this morning with Rhett.  It was honestly almost perfect weather and overall a great run.  We ran the first 15 miles together and had an AP of about 8-8:10 min/mile.  At mile 15 Rhett took off at his marathon pace and I stayed behind at my marathon pace.  I took a 5 hour energy at mile 17 and about a mile later I felt like I had wings.  I was able to run a couple of my miles at 7:18 and 7:30 and all the miles were at or below 7:40.  I was really happy with the run and it was a huge confidence builder for my upcoming marathon.

AP:  7:58

20 minutes on the stationary bike and 7.3 miles on the TM at 7.0 or 8:34/mile.
