So I skipped two days in a row, putting myself firmly in the RM Strava basement. I feel the need to explain myself to my fans and my foes. The reason I skipped is threefold:

1. My ankles are really hurting TBH
2. It’s not a competition, guys. It’s just not. And besides, my 10k training doesn’t start for another week, so take it when you can get it, amirite?
3. Skipping the weekend pretty much forces me to run tomorrow, and I really like starting my week with a solid run.

F the haters :Gomez:

^will someone please forward this to Rob?

70 miles @ 7:05 was definitely too much last week, but I just couldn't see going into a marathon without a 20-miler.

Still think a sub-3 is a stretch goal.

First 6 miles is downhill, so I'll need to reign my shit in. I've gotten in trouble before by thinking I could "bank" miles early and ended up blowing out my legs. I'll limit my pace to 6:30 in the early miles.

I did every run in this training cycle without fuel or water, so I'm guessing Gatorade and a gel or two will give a me decent kick.

Weather looks perfect as of now. 40 degrees and cloudy at start.

Shitty treadmill kept shutting off at an 8 min pace. I just gave up after 2.5 miles.

Well I won't have to worry about the ice for the next few days. Because it's covered with 10" of snow.

Another 8 mile run. Outside. Averaged a faster pace than yesterday. Had 2 miles faster than my fastest yesterday. Body still feels great. No struggles. No pain. No stiffness.

Feeling good, team.

Can push the treadmill to 7.5 without it shutting off.

Brandon Rectum still hasn't followed me back :(

Oh man. I’m feeling this post so much today. I ran around some trails and through downtown Austin this morning and it was unreal how good I felt. Zero soreness, never got winded, decent pace. Even with hills, which I’m not used to. It was either the few days rest I recently took or the very clean and dry air in that part of the state, but I’m still thinking about that great run.

I've decided to run the mary in Boston 7s instead of Adios 4s.

Just think I'll be seriously digging at the end and falling back into my heel-striking ways.
