Slept pretty well last night, but had some mild dehydration from long travel day. Today is long run day. Aimed to run first half at 20% off MP, and second half at 10% off MP. 1st half in around 1:17, second half in around 1:11; pretty close on both halves (each a bit fast). Overall time was 2:28:16 at 8:14/mi pace. Muscles really started to complain around the 14 mile mark, but managed to keep pace throughout, so good run overall.

Good long run Dale, I've been impressed that despite being away this last week you've kept getting your runs in however you could. Good commitment!

Nice run, you've recovered really well from the marathon. I'm impressed at that distance and pace, you're making some real gains right now that'll pay off this spring. What's your next race around here?

Thanks guys. The last week while away on business was especially tough to get the runs in, especially with the darn foot pain I've been having, but I managed to apply liberal amounts of guilt any time I thought to skip a run, other than the one day when I used resting the foot as an excuse.

I dunno what race I'll run in next. I thought about a 10K today before my trip, but think I'd better focus on some good base building and foot resting at least thru the holidays. Still trying to figure out which marathon I'm aiming at next, so I can start planning all the other tune-up races. Everything will really be dependant on the marathon date.

Oh yeah. And it also helps me to get out the door knowing there's other folks paying attention to when/how much I'm running! Thanks for the support....I need it!
