| i flew into houston this morning. travel was a bit hectic and i made it to the woodlands almost 2 hours later than projected. i was hoping to get a short run in, but i scratched it because it's getting late in the day and my main objective right now is finding some food. [although my real main objective is blogging about my problems]. pre-race thoughts: zoinks. |

marathon #25. - 1:25 / 1:29 -- not what i wanted to do, but i had a tough time in the second loop. there was a bit o' wind and i found myself running completely alone for the final 12 miles (i know i shouldn't have allowed this to affect me, but it did). i was targeting 2:50, but i'm not there yet.
- course change this year -- it was still a flat, two loop course, but it went in the anti-clockwise direction and the route was slightly altered. i think it made it a bit faster, and i really liked the new course. scenery was beautiful and woodsy. much less congestion with the half marathoners this year, especially at the split point.
- everyone here was very nice and hospitable, just like last year. i'm glad i came back.
- i stopped taking splits because they were garbage. 6:10, 7:18, 5:50, 7:05, 6:13. the inconsistency was messing with my head, especially because i felt like my output was fairly consistent. the numbers were throwing me off and i was panicking because i couldn't get a good grasp on my pace. edit: the checkpoint splits have been posted -- AP every 6.5 miles: 6:27, 6:32, 6:37, 6:58.
- i kicked my glass wound scab open at mile 22. once again, the left leg injures the right.

i walked around for about two hours yesterday afternoon, which alleviated a lot of the post-race stiffness/soreness. i'm planning to do more of the same today, as i don't fly out until 6pm this evening. i've been in a fight with my left adductor for the past three weeks. it held up okay in the race, other than some minor cramping in my hip/quad over the final few miles. it should clear up pretty quickly with rest (it almost went away with the taper, but it's back again today). i'm taking a week off. the next race i'm looking at is striders half, which is in one month.

| 4 miles at liberty park on the wood chips. the ice-snow has finally melted away, allowing the chips to breathe again. they were extra soft and soggy, but not muddy -- the perfect running surface.
i'm feeling energetic after six full days off. this was a bit more time off than i usually take after a marathon (except for des news), but i felt like i needed some extra time to regroup. i went into the race feeling pretty wrung out. i almost made it to standard buffalo weight this week.

| 12 miles with tara and kam. we saw two snakes, three pumpkin cookies, and one very large moose. we ended up taking a bunch of photos with the moose, then kam destroyed it with his bare hands. then we stuffed it in the back of my car, and now its hanging out in my garden and chomping on the "grass". |

| a pathetic week for the s'moores -- our house was hit with the plague on saturday afternoon. i haven't been this sick (sick enough to lose productivity) since i was in 8th grade. james [endearingly] told me that i was a cesspool of disease. symptoms of the plague include: bloaty head, garbage lungs, swollen sinuses, fever, loss of hearing, earaches, coughing until you nearly pass out, and yelling at the mail man for not bringing my TOU welcome letter. i bet i have a used kleenex® for every mile i should have run this week. |
