AM: 20.5 miles, most with Elia pacing him on the St. Pete marathon.  I can't really call them fast, but about 10 were in the 6:40-6:50 range.  Really liked trying to help him, even though I failed overall.

Hit my 5 year anniversary on this blog, which is kind of cool.  Amazing to think I wasn't even running anything over 5 miles really back then, and now a 5-mile day feels like a recovery.  I still remember bringing a gel on my first "long run" with Drew thinking it was needed.  Heh.  I must say I'm happy to have developed this habit of posting on here, although I'm not sure it will continue much longer.  I definitely appreciate how I went from a hobby walk-out-the-door-and-run-whatever-distance to.... Well, actually, I'm pretty much still that way.  At least now I've found some consistency in my workouts, mileage, and effort.  I just never vibed with the "running plan" thing.  The moment it's written down what I have to do, I just have lost all interest within the next moment.  Weird.  Cheers to winging it!

AM: 9.6 miles.  Felt awful.  Not sure about the PM run.  I'm in a weird spot eleven days out of my next set of races (Gasparilla).  I feel like a full mileage week is ideal, but I know the literature kind of says it is meaningless.  The double at Gasparilla is the real deal, and I need to be ready to race.  No times, just race.  I wonder if the triple-race- weekend a week ago will help my fitness at all.  I hope it does.  Three weeks is pretty close to being far enough out to show progression.  I entered this morning expecting to run a workout, but I felt sore in a lot of places.  Maybe I'll try again this afternoon, but my guess is I'll bail after the warmup with John.

I really want Gasparilla to be something special.

PM: 6.1 miles

No running.  Still feeling a bit broken from BDR.

AM: 5k parkrun at Weedon island.  Ran a 15:54, felt pretty good.  I still feel some tension in my upper legs, so I will just have to manage the discomfort.
