Ran 3 miles with Troy at 9:12 AP.  Nice and easy for my dear husband who, now having finished the basement, is starting to run again.  We left at 9:38am.  Did anyone notice the temperature difference from yesterday?  So hot in comparison.  My sister-in-law said it was 18 degrees warmer at 8am then yesterday.  At least that's what the news said.  I didn't need the news to tell me.  Wowsers, it was hot!! At an easy pace it was comletely tolerable.  I wore my gel cumulus shoes that I thought I hated but they sure felt cloud-like (except the lifting of them with each stride) on the footfall.  Ahhhhh my PF was soooo happy.  Not a bit of pain.  What to do?  I can't wear these cumulus' at the 1/2 this Saturday.  They are way too heavy.  And Hobble is just as the name says--It makes you Hobble from IT or PF a day or two after the race.  I guess PF goes along with PR if I can stand the pain the last few miles.  Decisions, decisions.  Light or heavy?  perhaps two more days away from those (mizuno wave riders) shoes and easy miles will do the trick to last 13 fast miles on Saturday.  I am going for 1:28:45--- a one second PR from last year.  Oh the last part of my run I ran .25 miles easy then 2  x 800 meters in the heat of the day with 400 meter easy run in between.  The sweat felt great coming off me.  The pace felt easy so  I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that they were slow.  Dang.  One at 3:12 the other at 3:10.  I am sure the heat played a big role here.  Cooldown for a bit more to equal just over a 10K distance.

oh yes it was way hotter this morning I thought, well actually yesterday was warm too. I think we were spoiled the last few weeks! Almost in the clear on the heat though! Nice run, how fun to run with the hubby a bit :)

Here's to your 1:28:45!!! :) :) :)

Fun that your hubby came along! :)

Btw, probiotics: I have just been downing Activa yogurt. Do I need something different?

Have fun Saturday!!! I know you won't be careful, but I will say it anyway ... BE CAREFUL!!! :) :) :)

You will rock it Julie! Tough shoe decision--I guess you have to decide what will slow you down more--a few extra ounces on the shoes or pain from PF. Have you tried running with the foot taped yet? It makes a huge difference--I ran my first marathon taped!
