6.5 miles in 50:12, 7:43/mi, HR 142.

Felt surprisingly good after yesterday's hard effort. Some pain on top of my left foot and my bunion is giving me some grief but otherwise not too bad. Actually felt like and did core exercises afterwards. HR below 140 for the last 3 miles. Oh and my two personal deer friends are back to hanging out just outside my window. They brought along three other buddies and they all look pretty young.

Now if you could just get the deer to act as pacers for your workout.

Hope the pain the top of the foot is nothing. That's how Dave's problems started.

You ran a great long run on Sat with a good strong finish. It looks to me like you are in peak condition at the moment. How long to go before your marathon Dale?.

Kelly: Pain is already gone...I think I tightened my lower laces too tightly on that foot and it swelled.

Ian: It didn't feel very good....it felt way too hard to be able to sustain sub 6:50/mi pace for 26.2. Plus the course was pretty flat the whole way, which could've been part of the problem? In any event, my race is 18 May so I've got a few weeks to work the kinks out while not getting stale. I'm running a final half race in a couple of weeks as a final tune-up so we shall see then how well things go.
