I do not know what was wrong today.  I was off the entire run and just could not get my pace on track.  My route was probably too hilly for this distance, especially since my marathon is flat!  I had to walk all of mile 11 and some of miles 12 and 13.  Disappointing!  This pace would give me a 4:36 marathon, which isn't bad, but not what I'm hoping for.  I'll have to find a flatter route since I'll be running this distance or longer once a week from here until June.

Totals for the week:
Planned 32 miles
Running:  23.04
Cycling:  9.94
Total:  32.98

I'm going to have to change my weigh-in day.  I drank two 16 oz. bottles of water with Heed while out running, plus a Recoverite with 2 cups of soy milk and 1 cup of berries after I got back - all before stepping on the scale this morning.  I'll start weighing on Fridays from now on, but report it on Saturday.
