I saw a line of clothing, Skinz or Skins, which are whole body compression wear... crazy expensive though... like $250 for a top and bottom. For $250, I better get pleasured while wearing it.
Btw, I found your balls --->> . .

Please spare us from saying where you found them...

Took yesterday off. Listened to my legs and gave them the rest. Will be doing a light erg workout today, some core and some upper body lifts.
Supposed to have a speed workout tomorrow but might just turn that into a 5 miler.
How many weeks out are you from your marathon?
It fits perfectly.
You should have your longest run next weekend. Don't go over 20 miles or three hours... whichever comes first.
I can but it doesn't give me heart rate data or RPE. I'd be curious to see what the heart rate was for those workouts where you're in the 8:xx mile range.
For me personally, I like having that information because I can look at the workout and see how I felt mentally about the workout as well as how the workout was in the actual numbers.
If I had the data for heart rate it would be in there
Yesterdays 3 miles at 8:45 my HR was 156. I would say my RPE was a 4 or a 5.

You're running too fast.
based on my HR or based on my RPE(which I've never even tried to use until just now)?
Keep in mind yesterday was supposed to be a speed workout...6x880s at 5k pace. I didn't want to risk injuring myself again so just did the 3 miles.

Based on me looking at your log.
Oh ok. I thought you were commenting specifically on my workout from Tuesday.
At what point does my comfortable pace become too fast? I feel as if I am running in a comfort zone and not really pushing myself all that hard. Even the 5k race I ran 2 weekends ago didn't feel all that terrible.
And for the sake of argument, if you are worried about me overtraining, my heart rate while seated and having had 2 cups of coffee is 56 BPM.
Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to dig a little deeper into what you mean.

Pre-race shenanigans:
-Alarm going off at 6:15. Snoozed til 6:45. Was woken up by FD pager at 5:15...was unhappy about such...shoulda turned the damn thing off.
-Up and out of bed at 6:45
-Get dressed (tights, shorts, long sleeve tech T, sweatpants and sweatshirt, and hat), make PB sandwich, chug half my camelback bottle (.5 liter), refill, gather ipod, phone, wallet, money, race registration form, pack up change of clothes and towel and jacket for race, walk out door into a downpour.
-Contemplate not going.
-Decide I need to go run it, stop at bagelboss, grab a bagel and small coffee (for laxative purposes) and get on the road and eat my PB sandwich and drink my coffee.
-Arrive, register, relieve my colon (thanks to the coffee) warm up and stretch. Calf is feeling so-so, but more on the good side than the bad side.
-Stretched some more as I headed to the start.
Post-race report:
-Start wasn't too crowded and I staged myself well. Didn't get passed much and as the race went on started passing.
-Felt strong and controlled through the first 8. Getting into miles 9 and 10 legs started to feel heavy.
-Hit mile 5 at 42:15 for an 8:27/mile. Was feeling strong so picked it up a bit(read: a lot). Had 2 bites of a nugo bar and washed it down at the next water station.
-Kept up the faster pace and was drafting off a runner who was right around the same as me. He picked it up more around mile 9 and I couldn't keep up, but kept picking off a few runners per mile until mile 12 when no one was within a catchable distance.
-Few more bites of my nugo bar around mile 9.
-Last half cup of water at mile 10 then no more til the end.
-Hit mile 12 and picked it up again, hit mile 13 and started a kick
-Cross the line at 1:47:37 for an overall pace of 8:13/mile. From mile marker 5 to the finish was 8:04/mile.
-Down the rest of my NuGo bar, a bagel, a banana and 2 cups of water at the end. Down another NuGo in the car before I drove home.
Other thoughts: Weather was cool and misty for a majority of the race. There was a 5 minute period of heavy rain that got everyone drenched when I was at about 4.5 miles in. Finished and felt ok. Right knee was a bit tight from miles 9 to the end and the left calf was getting a little sore around mile 11. No major incidents though. Quads tightened up a bit at the end. Made sure to stretch them out well. One gripe I have, I couldn't get any water until mile 4 I think. I wanted some at mile 2 and there was none left, and the same at mile 3. Brought my compression socks with me and changed into them once I dried my feet.
And so here I am back home. Took my 10 minute ice bath and a hot shower. Lucked out and avoided getting any blisters on my feet from wet socks. Just a little bit of chafe in my groin area. My right knee feels tight, and well, I've felt this pain before, so I'm going to ice and stretch and pop some advil before this turns into full blown tendonitis.
I went a lot faster than I planned. Going in I was planning to run a 8:45/mile pace for the first half and then bring that up to an 8:30 for the second. Obviously did a bit more as I ran the first 5 at 8:30ish and then took it up to 8:00ish. Oops. Just went with the flow.
Now I need to find more food. 1800 calories burned, NPB on 2 slices WW, 2 NuGo bars, 2 bagels and a banana. Think I might still be a tad short still...

Not much to report since Sunday. Ran an easy 3 on Tuesday and did some core work. Did an upper body lift and core work yesterday. Tried biking a bit to loosen up my knee but still painful.
Planning to run 5 easy today on some groomed running trails in a park near to work. will report on how it went later.
