My quads were still extremely tight from Saturday, so I decided to take it slow and work my way up on the treadmill this morning.  I started at a brisk walk pace and gradually worked up to running.  It took almost 2 miles for the legs to finally feel a little better.  The first mile felt really hard until I looked down and realized the t-mill was set on a 2% incline....DOH!

I ran 6 miles easy and the legs are a bit better.

PM:  Plyometrics

AM:  It was warm (61) and windy this morning.  I ran in a new pair of shoes this morning and I think I tied them too tight.  My left foot was getting hot and tight and I had to loosen the laces.  I ran 8.62 miles easy.  Last nights plyo workout really helped the quad tightness.  Much better today.

AM:  It was 39 degrees with a wind chill under 30 this morning.  Is it really June?  I tried running today with compression shorts on underneath to see if it would help with my issues lately.  It did seem to help and I was able to run 5 tempo miles without a ton of pain.  I still could feel it, but it was manageable.  I ran 8.62 miles total.  The Nirvana shoes feel great.

AM:  It was 55 degrees this morning....beautiful!  I picked up Kory at 6:00am and we drove to the marathon course start.  We ran nice and easy down the course and I kept with him through 16 but I was getting a "hot spot" on my left foot.  Go figure?  I can run a marathon with completely wet feet last week and be fine and I get a nasty blister today?  I ended up running the last 5 miles on the side of the road as much as I could because it hurt a lot less. 

I ran 22.05 miles and it didn't get too hot until the last 5 miles, it was a great run.  Thanks Kory!
