Ugh.  Not such an enjoyable run. I think a lot of it was in my head because I wasn't excited about it in the first place. My legs felt dead the entire time. My average pace was 30 seconds slower than my last 19 miler. I am not sure why this is getting harder rather than easier... 

One more long run then the race... Ready to get this thing over with!

Nice easy recovery run.  Rails to trails.

7 miles, with a 2 mile tempo in the middle.

Trying to get as many hills in as possible before the marathon so they don't kill me. Also trying to do all of them faster than goal MP so that it will feel easier come race day. Our goal is to run a 3:45, which will be tough on this course.

Race: Richmond SPCA Dog Jog (With Clarky) (1 Miles) 00:07:33

Today was Clarky's racing debut at the Richmond SPCA dog jog! If the race allowed us, I wanted to get him close to 7 minutes, possibly a 6:59. But we started out in the back and had tons of walkers in front of us. So we spent a while passing people in the beginning, but about half way in we were in a really nice spot. Clark did so well with the other dogs, and only sat down twice mid-race. I still can't figure out why he does that...

Beautiful weather, fantastic event, and we were able to raise 300 dollars for a great cause!

Oh, and there was a "Tako Truck" there and I followed it up with two amazing fish tacos. Yummm.

Instead of doing an easy recovery run I am stuck nursing a very swollen left knee. It has 2 weeks to get itself under control... although obviously I would like to run a few more times before my race.  

Feeling a little uneasy about it as it feels even worse today :(   It is currently impossible to run, and barely possible to walk.
