After 2 years of no races, finally got a marathon in yesterday.
Ran the inaugural Milwaukee Marathon. It was a run in the city which made for a lot to see, but it meant running on the hard streets.
Made the mistake of not bringing anything to eat, figured I could get that on the course. It wasn't until mile 19 that they were passing out some gel packs.

Sounds like a pretty rough second half if that was the case! Hope you didn't crash too hard.

Glad you're back in the swing of it.

Was in Hawaii for the last week I managed 2 trail runs, and one run in Kona along the IM course. Other than that, I was pretty busy with activities and touring. It was an amazing place to run though. We went from Maui to the Big Island, then to Oahu.

#1103- 2 mi
#1104- 4 mi trail
#1105- 11.5 mi trail, ran on some trails I haven't done before, nothing really special about them, but I still have some exploring to do in the area.
#1106- 2 mi very early, 3 am, then caught a flight to Maui
#1107- 2 mi hotel treadmill, had only about 2 hours before 12 midnight east coast time when I ran, making it the longest time between runs for the streak. Had to get it in quick to catch an awesome sunset on the beach
#1108- 10.5 mi trail. AWESOME run. I ran some of it with my brother. He lead me up some trails that run literally right out of his back yard. There is a small mountain, about 2500 ft, with some bigger ones behind them (5000-6000ft). I just ran up the small one. I got a bit lost on the way up. I should have stayed on a wider trail, but turned on a more narrow one that looked like it went up to the top in a shorter distance. It got very steep, and after a bit it closed up and I had to push through some tall (over my head) grass that sliced me up a bit. I was probably only 100ft from the top and I didn't want to turn back. I got up finally and had an awesome view. I also got lost on the way down, but it was a good time. I jumped in the ocean to cool off at the bottom.
#1109- 2 miles, treadmill at hotel. I would have loved to get out and run more outside, but I literally had a few minutes to get it in, we were pretty much out the door first thing in the morning and didn't come back until very late.
#1110- 7 mi in Kona. Ran along the IM World Championship route on Ali'i Drive. I didn't go all the way to the finish. I'd like to cross the finish one day and earn it for real. It was inspiring and made me want to get back to triathlon training.
#1111- 2 mi in Waikiki along shore. Same story, busy day, got in what I could.
#1112- 2 early morning miles in Waikiki. I had to get it done pre-dawn so we could get to Pearl Harbor before the crowds.
#1113- 2 mi early morning along beach in Waikiki, I also did a short run, maybe 2 or 3 miles along some trails that I hiked up with my family at Manoa Falls. I did an out and back along a trail that lead into the mountains from the falls as they hiked down. I caught them at the bottom. I am shocked that I didn't fall. It was muddy, and very slippery, and I had my Cliftons on, not my trail shoes. It was really nice. The trails had a very "Jurassic Park" look to them. There were towering trees with twisting trunks, vines that grew everywhere, ferns, some huge broad leaved plants. I also ran through some bamboo forested areas.

#1124- 7 mi treadmill after work
#1125- 7 mi treadmill after work
#1126- 6.2 mi treadmill workout, 2 mi warmup, 2 mi run/hike at 15% grade, 1 mi at -3% grade (max decline on my treadmill) fast, 1 mi cool down.
#1127- 7.2 mi treadmill after work
#1128- 10.5 mi on the road, Thanksgiving. Had a chance to get out for a run earlier in the day. Didn't want to miss the chance to work up a good appetite.
#1129- 2 mi with my daughter
#1130- 10 mi, 1 mile with daughter, then I headed out to the trails. It was rainy and cool. It was one of those days where I had boundless energy, the last few miles were probably the fastest I have ever run on the trails near my house, and I've run them ALOT.

49.9 mi for the week, it would have been the first week hitting 50 mpw since my 100 mile race, but I didn't know how close I was today. If I jog to the end of my street and back later tonight (0.14mi), I guess that counts right?

#1131- 7 mi treadmill
#1132- 6.2 mi with 1000 ft at 15% grade at 4 mph
#1133- 10.5 mi road
#1134- 7 mi treadmill
#1135- 6.2 mi speedwork, tough pyramid intervals. My wife had a workout printed out on the treadmill. I jazzed it up a bit, I wanted to do it twice back to back, adding 2 mph to the workout for the first 30 min, and 2.5 mph for the second 30 min, and also doing the second 30 minutes at 2.5% grade, at about the 50 minute mark, I was 14 seconds into 10.5 mph and I had to call it, my legs were pretty jelly feeling and I didnt want to fall. I actually had the emergency stop cord in my hand just in case. I just jogged it out after I slowed down. Tough workout, I want to see if I can make it the whole way next time. I had about 4 and a half minutes left before cool down.
#1136- 4 mi easy
#1137- 7 mi treadmill
#1138- 7.5 mi treadmill

I'm about 6 months out from my next 100 miler. Its hard to stay focused, but I've been trying to run at least an hour most days.
