I'm not going to mention my time (how long it took me to run) here. I didn't realize that my stop watch wasn't on until I ran 1/3 mile. I can't wait for the race to be here. I'm done training and I'm bored now. But I must keep training. I have four more weeks left!

Week 37: Day 6 - 2013
@ 6:40am: road/trail run = 6.6 miles, time = 1:14:13, pace @ 11:15
I don't think I'll have time to go to karate class this afternoon because I have to get ready for a friend's wedding. If I do get the chance to go to karate, I'll make an update.

Week 37: Day 5 - 2013
@ 6:45am: trail/road run = 5.14 miles, time = 59:47, pace @ 11:38
I've figured out why I'm running slower than I used to and/or than I'd like to. I haven't been doing my hilly trail running since week 1 of my training. I have four weeks left until race day. I'm not sure if running on challenging hills will help, but I guess something (starting next week) is better than nothing.

Total Monthly Mileage: 27.12
Total Yearly Mileage: 401.56
Total Shoe Mileage: 121.63
For being seriously undertrained this week and surprisingly, I am not injured with shin splints or anything else related to running. Except for four red lights where I had to wait to cross the street this morning, I didn't stop for any walk/rest breaks. I'm a little sore right now, but this is from running 10.4 miles this morning. This also doesn't mean I can continue running two days week for the rest of training...I will probably get shin splints or some other related running injury for undertraining if I continue doing that and I'd like to avoid running with pain for the rest of training and on race day.
The weather was driving me crazy all week. The weather seem better next week and I hope it stays that way (or gets better) until race day. I'm over this crazy weather.

Week 36: Day 6 - 2013
@ 6:30am: trail/road run = 6.5 miles, time = 1:14:39, pace @ 11:29
@ 12:15pm: karate = 1 hour
* "warm up" = 3/4 mile walk
* "cool down" = 3/4 mile walk
I'm really undertrained this week as far as my running/miles goes. Surprisingly, I didn't get any shin splints or other injuries for undertraining since I did a 6.5 mile run this morning and my last run (10 miles) was last weekend. But I think it helped that I took a rest break to stretch a little in the beginning when I felt something uncomfortable in my right shin. I hope I don't get any shin splints or other related injuries tomorrow while I'm doing my long run.

Week 36: Day 2 - 2013
@9:45am: bike ride = 7.15 miles
I didn't time my ride this morning. I think since because I've been only riding my bike once a week, I've lost some endurance/strength and I can't ride those hills as good as I used to. It's not that my long run had anything to do with me riding slower today since that was on Sunday and I did nothing for a work out yesterday. But I got a ride today at least even with the crazy weather that we're having now.

Week 35: 7 - 2013
@ 6:30am: trail/road run = 10.21 miles, time = 2:00:27, pace @ 11:48
Total Weekly Mileage: 21.86
Total August Mileage: 91.66
Total September Mileage: 10.21
Total Yearly Mileage: 384.65
Total Shoe Mileage: 114.72
Even though it was warm/hot this morning and I was still uncomfortable with it, it wasn't as humid as yesterday morning. I usually don't bring money with me on a run because I usually don't need to buy anything (water/gatorade, a banana, etc) from somewhere. I decided that I should start bringing some money because I didn't feel too energetic or hydrated enough during my last two LONG runs. It didn't help me run faster, but I felt better during the second half of my run when I bought water and Gatorade at the halfway point. I also didn't want to bring extra bottled water with me on the run which probably wouldn't have helped me because I needed a sport drinks (something with electrolytes) at some point and I needed to drink more than what I could/would carry.
