AM: 3.15 in ~10:45 avg pace. Avg heart rate: 158, Max heart rate: 182. Avg elevation: 8,500; 329' gain/loss. No pups today; arms are still sore from yesterday and L pup doesn't seem to be feeling well. He didn't eat dinner last night and has been pretty lethargic since yesterday afternoon. Although he ate breakfast this morning. Will see how he is feeling by the PM and maybe go for another short run on the trails with them. If he's not feeling better then I guess we're going to the pup doctor tomorrow. 

 Lower legs were a bit stiff this morning.. so maybe the lower leg strength isn't what I thought it was. I guess that makes sense; I was hiking in boots for the last 6 weeks. Best work on some ankle/foot strength. 

Mid-AM: Stretching and strength exercises. 

Noon: Maya Vinyasa Yoga. Awesome class and only ~1 mile from my house. Yay! I think no PM run. Lower legs are a bit sore from even the short runs the past couple of days. Would like to do 5 tomorrow and maybe 7-8 on Sunday. Fingers crossed. I also went back and looked at some data from after I took some time off this past winter for the IT band stuff. I'm doing better then what I could do back in Feb., so that gives me some confidence that I'll be okay for a December marathon. I'm certainly starting a bit earlier than last year and should have more time (not finishing up a phd and all). Plus, I think I've got a better base and am stronger this year than last year. We'll see. I don't know if I will shoot for a BQ though.. that may have to wait until the spring. Happy Weekend!
