Jon made a comment about when to be concerned, and essentially when a run simply isn't enjoyable you're probably over doing it (I'm paraphrasing just a bit, I'm sure). Looking through my log, I see a lot of "meh" and "SLOW!"...because it isn't especially fun to tread water. That being said, I feel like I'm allowing myself to stay at a level where a bad race isn't that bad. The downside is that is probably true on the other side of the spectrum where a good race won't be that good.
I'm ~21 weeks away from the Dublin Marathon. So, I'm not quite at the point where I need to hurry up and get healthy.
The Stuff:
| 14-May | MLR | 1:15:56 | 10.06 | AM: MLR at 7:33/mile. | ||||
| Easy | 0:58:48 | 8.18 | PM: 8 total, but 5m at a reasonable cruising speed. Still a little whacky though. | |||||
| 15-May | Easy | 1:08:01 | 8.34 | AM: 8+ at 8:09/mile. BAH! | ||||
| Easy | 0:47:10 | 6.32 | PM: 6+ at 7:28/mile. Still bah. | |||||
| 16-May | Easy & Meeting | 0:40:38 | 5.02 | AM: 5m at 7:46/mile. Early meeting means shorter run. | ||||
| Easy | 0:49:30 | 6.37 | PM: 6+ at 7:49/mile. Very Meh. | |||||
| 17-May | Easy | 1:04:18 | 8.03 | AM: 8m at 8per. Easy, but back and whole core just felt way out of whack. | ||||
| Reggae Ramble 5k | 1:20:00 | 12.22 | PM: Commute home then back to the river for the last minute decision to run the Reggae Ramble 5k. 2nd Place in 16:38. I'll take it. Back and knee are still bothering me, but didn't cause problems for the race. | |||||

| 20-May | Short Long Run | 1:52:00 | 14.44 | AM: Long run on the trails, some of it with Eli. Garmin was weird, so this is a rough number and pace was probably 7:40ish. | ||||

| Easy + Trackish | 1:32:25 | 11.62 | PM: Commute home and improvised track with all my aches and pains. Not worth looking at the splits. | |||||

| 27-May | Long Run | 2:00:00 | 16.17 | AM: 16+ trail run with a bunch of it with Dan Chebot, his wife McKenzie, and their friend Scott. Good to have company, and I hope in the coming weekends Eli can join. | ||||

| Off | 0:00:00 | 0 | PM: Off. | |||||
| 29-May | Easy | 0:37:00 | 5.02 | AM: 5m to work after a 3+ hour drive. Yeesh. | ||||
| Easy | 0:50:00 | 6.36 | PM: 6+ at 7:55/mile. My right knee remains an issue, but the weird stuff going on in my left hip is a new concern. | |||||
| 30-May | Easy | 0:54:00 | 7.24 | AM: 7+ commute. Not sure why I started late and couldn't get my standard 8m in, but such is life. | ||||
| MLR Moderate | 1:30:00 | 12.06 | PM: Impromptu MLR w/some Raleigh miles. Averaged around 7min per, skewed by the final 2m with the dog. No ibu and right knee was a little touch and go. Left side definitely feels out of whack, but I was happy with this. | |||||
| 31-May | MLR Easy | 1:20:00 | 10.15 | AM: Another MLR to squeeze in some miles. Right knee feels like it's improving, but the hip/IT or whatever it is on my left side is hit and miss. | ||||
| Easy & Ultimate | 1:05:00 | 8.36 | PM: Commute home and over to ultimate. Too bad ultimate miles don't count, but the good news is I felt pretty good there. | |||||
| 1-Jun | Easy | 1:14:00 | 9.14 | AM: 9+ easy at 8min per. Not that easy though as my legs feel a little beat up. Left side feels a bit quieter though. Super humid. | ||||

| Easy | 1:01:00 | 7.38 | PM: Commute home plus a little bit with Raleigh. Slow going, but that's fine. | |||||

| 3-Jun | AM Shakeout | 0:18:00 | 2.1 | AM: Early shakeout with Raleigh. | ||||
| Corrib Pub 5k PS | 1:00:00 | 8.61 | Noon: Corrib Pub 5k. 17 flat for a slightly long course. 7th place and slower than last year. Not very good. | |||||
| Shakeout | 0:31:00 | 4.06 | PM: 4m shakeout at 7:38/mile. |
