So I did my long run today after refereeing in a charity soccer tournament on Sunday. Got up after a good nights sleep with my resting heart rate quite low, showing that I was ready for a good solid effort. Sure enough I was, the goal was 8 miles in 1:48 at a 13:30 mile pace, and I hit that easily
being 20 second over at 1:48:20. I used a 3:1 Galloway ratio with the mph on the treadmill being 4.7 to 3.7. I drank about 30 ounces of water and had one power bar at 60 minutes. The heart rate did not get above 120 until I hit about 7 miles, which I was quite pleased with. Overall even though it took place on a Monday, the Sunday run did well.
Currently training for the Chicago Marathon in October 2015. Enjoy my running diary. Sidenote:I was the first mayor in the United states to write an everyday blog, although I am no longer a mayor this is that blog.

Day 7-- Confusion already?
So I got asked to referee in a indoor soccer tournament, The Chris Applegate Memorial Tournament, that's being held in Crystal Lake today, I am doing 6 30 minute men's games starting at 9am. So I decided not to do my 8 mile long slow distance run this morning. I have two options open to me, the first is do the run when I get home today in the afternoon, and the second is to do it tomorrow morning. The reason I would be willing to do a long run on Monday is I am off all week, so I have time to run on the Monday. Basically I am going to see how energetic I am while refereeing this morning, before deciding.
