Blaahhhhhh. Woke up at 6am, still pitch black out, so I let myself snooze until 6:30am, in which it was still pitch black out, apparently I am in extreme denial about this whole winter thing. Forced myself out there, and knew it wouldn't be good when my legs felt like lead from the beginning. Legs felt heavy, ITB felt tight, felt my shin sometimes (how are these overuse injuries sticking around when I've been doing anything BUT using them!), blisters all over my feet were bothering me, and my arch skin was hating the new modified insoles. So overall, a total success. Quit after 3. TT: 29:11

| | AM - 45 minutes on the bike trainer while watching The Biggest Loser. I just don't know what to think about my ankle. So, since I didn't know if I should even run it, I decided to brilliantly order a lederhosen costume to wear during the half marathon. Don't worry, I used a forgotten tippr credit, a groupon to Halloween Mart, and overall it cost about $5. You don't have to say it, I already know, I'm awesome! | |

AM - 37 minutes on the bike trainer while watching Project Runway. PM - Took Cooper on a walk and decided to do some walk/running to test my leg. Did 60 seconds of running then 60 seconds of walking (just counting in my head, which became tedious!) for 2 laps. Probably 2 miles of running to 1 mile of walking, but then Justin was home so we did one more walking mini-loop for 1.7 miles of walking. No pain! Okay that's a lie, major blister pain. Yay for the weekend!

AM - Lovely crisp, sunny morning for a run. Walked for 30 seconds at the end of every mile. No shin/ankle pain! My legs felt tired and reminded me that running a half marathon next weekend is NOT going to be easy. I just hope that the pain stays away and I don't undo all the good I've done by resting. Which is why I wanted to do more today, but didn't. If I wasn't hurt I would have run 12, but if I wasn't running a half I would have tested it with 3, so 6 is a compromise I guess. MAJOR blister pain at every step, ugh, my arches do NOT like the new modified insoles. Now time for lots of work, so I can be rewarded with a Corn Maze and the Puyallup Oktoberfest tonight! TT: 1:01:32 AP: 9:51 (includes all walking, which is why the splits are so erratic, they were actually pretty consistent) Splits: 10:12, 10:10, 9:20, 9:39, 10:03, 9:24
