evening workout:

6 easy miles nice wearher I could tell fall is around the corner. I did some walking by the lake just to enjoy the view and do some sotreaching from the morning workout. I was tired but my dog gave the guilty look after I got home so I took him for a 2 miles walk. 37 days before marathon number 4 feeling good no enjuries to report.

Late start for my long run this morning. Miles 0-4 were in great weather with cloudy sky. Miles 4-7 it rained like crazy. 7-21 no rain but the sun came out and brought the humidity with it. 20-23 increased the pace to (7:26) pace. I almost vomited at the end but I'm glad I kept the pace to the finish. Milk and sugar for recovery drink and footbal on the couch. 36 days to marathon number 4 no injuries no aches.

Today was the best run I had all year. 12 miles with my dog Oakley. no music no watch no phone just me and my dog in the woods. Yes we stoped and used nature's poter party (we need spelling check), but it was alot of fun. We ran into a High school track team doing their workout on the trails they were kool enough not to call me sir they just said hi and said good job guys. they had one female athelte on the team and she was on the leading pack (u go girl). Mile 9 we stoped for oakly (my dog) to get a break and another nature break and swim for a little bet (he is a yellow lab u know so swiming not running for him). I spent that time doing some running drills(non runners at the park were wondering what is wrong with this guy). Thanx to this blog and all the awesom runners like I just run, Allie, and of course sasha and jake for thier advice and encouragement Im running 70-80 mile a week and geting faster every day.

evening run:

2 easy miles and 4 miles marathon pace felt good.

Today is the start of last week of training before tapering for the big day (26) days  away. I have been bringing my dogs on shorts run lately. They bring such a postive energy and excitment that helps a lot.

My dogs fitness is catching up to mine. My first 7 mile were with (Lady pointer lab mix) they were very moderate pace like usual but less stoping and walking she did not wanted to. My second 7 miles (20 minutes gap to change leash and make sure lady hade cool water and a treat) were with (Daisy) my high energy, lets go an kill all squirrel and cats while running faster than 5k pace dog. Thanx for the leash I was able to run at marathon. All dogs are getting way too fit during this marathon buildup I have no idea what to do them during the 2 weeks taper and recovery.

Rainy but nice weather. I ran this workout on a hilly route (wanabago lake) 10 mile at mrathon pace but i ran it a little faster than that becuse I decided not to look at my watch only evvery 5k and my body wanted to run it about 4 minuts faster. Feeling good and cofident. 24 miles for tomorrow last long run before taper. No dogs were a lowed today, but maybe for few miles during a 24 miler tomrrow.

I think Im ready for taper weeks starting tomrow. the heat made this last long run intersting, but it was a good test before Des moines Marathon on october 20th. Marathon pace is felt comfortable after running 20 miles. Im gonna need some tips on how to taper the right way. Please feel free to advice. I ran alot Miles in comparson to previes marathons training. the last 4 weeks were 74-68-95-75 if my stattistic's class helped me the average is 78 miles the last 4 weeks so how should I taper is the?
