AM ended up not running on Sat to rest my sore PF. Still finished with 100 miles in 5 days. Got up early today, ran 1 mile then met Hot Dan at the gym to run around the neighborhoods for 10 miles. Went home and Marci wasn't ready for her workout, so I added on 6 more. 17 miles in 2:05 or so. Nice weather, felt good and relaxed. No foot pain. I love Strassburg socks- annoying to sleep in but they do wonders for Achilles or PF pain. Best treatment I've ever found.

I've felt like my training the past 2 months has been ok, but not great. A bit inconsistent. I was surprised to see I ran 380 miles both months. Made me feel a bit better. I'm feeling stronger, and am being reminded that the bulk of real base training is just a lot of average runs on tired legs.

Happy Labor Day, everyone. To all 4 of my readers. :)

PM 5 more at 10 pm. Took all my energy to keep down the greasy Mexican food from dinner, but I succeeded.

Nice run, especially the 5 miles after the Mexican food. Hope the PF is getting better (Kami is battling it again too.)

Yes heard some good things bout those socks. Self massage rolling on a baseball or softball works good for me.
