Week's Summary
I hit my mileage quota this week. Usually about two weeks before a marathon I like to get in roughly half of my largest mileage week. With eighty miles being my largest weekly total, I had about 40 in mind. Sure enough I managed to get that total.
Saturday's long run went pretty well. I didn't wear a Garmin, but it felt at about marathon pace. It was also 70 degrees, so I certainly felt the heat. When I run in the Jackson Hole Marathon next weekend, it should be quite cooler (I hope). I just have to deal with the altitude... I don't think I've run at 6000+ feet before.
I was completely out of gas on Tuesday. My mind wanted to run but my body wasn't going to have it. Last year I had that problem on an almost daily basis. I still don't understand what triggers it but it sort of sucks.
I did purchase a new Garmin. It is coming in the mail -- I hope soon. I worked with the customer support folks about getting 6 month old one fixed but apparently they don't make it anymore and wouldn't be able to repair it. Perhaps I should've gotten pissed but I wound up taking it on the chin and just got another one. I need one for Jackson.
Also, my Brooks Adrenaline Shoes that I bought on Aug 6th? They already look like they've been through a war zone. Sure, I put probably about 150 miles on them and a hike, but they broke down very quickly. They look like they have twice as many miles on them than what they do. Not good.
