Slept until 4am but NO way was I about to run in THAT bitterness of DEATH (below 15 degrees).  So I fell back to sleep accidentally til 6:10am and headed to the gym by 6:25am.  Ran 8.5 miles before needing to get back to my daughter.  AP 7:37 for 8.5.   First 3 miles 8:03 AP.  Last 5.5 miles at 7:23 AP.  1 % incline.  Feeling like my running self the past few days.  Whatever was ailing me is (knock on wood) is in remission for the moment.  I looked back through my blog from last year and I had a very similar "attack" last year at the exact same week but this year it just lasted longer and more painful.  Varying "attacks" in degree of severity from SGM on.  I feel so light on the TM now (haven't lost weight) and my muscles feel normal again.  Crossing fingers this lasts until Boston.    I was SOOOOOO Euphoric at work Saturday after my 330am run for 13 miles because I felt good for the first time in three months.  Normal.  Whatever the definition of normal is.  : D.   Finished off with 50 pushups.  Perfect form.  Feeling strong.  Steroid shots working miracles for both my feet.  PM-- 330pm (the polar opposite of 330am runs : D) run with pullover of course (cause HELL-O with the ice cold weather!!).  I was so very perfectly warm on this run with some WINDchill.  Just a little short, easy pace run (thought I was going much slower so that's good).  4.12 miles at 8:14 AP.  Ended too quickly.  : D.

Oh, so glad to hear you are feeling normal again running wise. Some of us are never normal anyway;) Nice runs lately. Wish that could rub off on me!
