| I was going to run 12 today. I ran 5 by myself, stopped at home to leave off a layer at home and drink some Gatorade, and then the boys wanted to run with me. We spend the rest of the time I had budgeted for running riding/running/walking around. Caleb ran 1 mile, maybe a little more, and then Eli fell off his bike and wanted to walk a little, so they traded. Eli and I ran/walked about a mile and a half. So I'm counting it as 7, though it was less than that, effort wise. But it was good nonetheless. I found my watch after this run. Caleb left it in the garage the last time he used it. |

| Running, blech. I'm just not interested in it right now, but I guess the fact that I still did 5 miles is a good thing. The wind made this run more of a chore.

| Treadmill miles. It was raining most of the day, and I chickened out of running outside when I got out there, and it started to drizzle. I pictured myself getting stuck in a downpour and said no thanks. Then when I was running on the treadmill, I was staring longingly outside. It did not end up raining big time and I regretted my decision.
Calves were cramping something fierce during and after this run.

| 14 miles. Probably the longest run prior to the half (3 weeks to go). My run was pretty good, though it was split up a bit. I ran 5 warm up miles (9:01, 8:47, 8:47, 8:45, 8:38) and then stopped at the house to go to the bathroom before heading out for some fast running. My splits for the next 5 miles were 7:51, 7:57, 8:14, 8:17, 8:10. I think the first two miles were fine, but mentally, I was unsure. After the first two miles, I gave myself a little pep talk, and then just allowed myself to slow down. Then it was fine.
Then I did 4 cool down miles with the boys on their bikes. They didn't bike all 4 miles, but instead played at the park while I added on a mile. The mile that I added on was faster than the rest of the cool down miles.
All in all it felt nice, but it wasn't really confidence inducing. I don't really know what I'm shooting for in 3 weeks, but this was exactly how I felt at this time last year. I will probably decide on race day, like I did last year.
