Today I felt better no fever and not feeling tired. Yesterday already I was without fever but I spent most of the day sleeping. I took advantage of the holiday and I postponed my first adventure out right after lunch when the sun was out and temperatures were really nice. The advantage of beeing sick for five days on NSAIDs is that my legs today had no pains or aches left, the side effect was that my legs didn't know how to run, but in a few more days they will learn it again.

| | 7 miles in 52:24. Tonight I wanted to go faster, I felt no reason to keep going slow except laziness. For the first 4 miles, after struggling during the first mile, I was actually going around 7:00/mile then a suddenly strange/weird/totally unexpected pain in my left knee convinced me to slow down to a more reasonable pace, in a couple of miles pain was gone and I finished at whatever pace I was running at that point. Overall a great night of running. | | Add Comment |

I am slowly going back to a normal schedule. Slower run tonight to recover from yesterday. Actually I wanted to see in 1:00 how many miles I could squeeze in without pushing. I felt fine at the end.

I wanted to do a long run, didn't happen. I wanted to do it at 4:50/km, didn't happen. And I wanted to be "easy" and it was not the case. I started at 8:30 in the morning with a cloudy sky, after 10 minutes the wind brought some heavy rain that lasted for the next two hours. At that point after I have already abandoned my glorious fast and "easy" goals and I was beyond miserable, wet and cold, I abandoned my last goal to finish with 17 miles in 2:15:21. Once at home I felt I survived this training. This is also the reason why I decided to do an early fall marathon and a late marathon, the weather during november can be really bad and doing a good amount of miles during this month can be challenging. In three weeks in Florence even with bad weather I can still enjoy the scenery (I hope so).
