Thoughts:

  • My foot pain was not too intense this morning. I was not sure what to expect since I ran 12 miles yesterday.
  • While running, I realized that I need to run more weekly miles to increase my stamina. If I run this half-marathon in Septmeber, I am 6 weeks behind in the training schedule for race day. Currently I am able to run about 5 miles easily. I've got my work cut out for me.
  • I'm just not sure how much I should push myself. It is pretty clear that if I race my performance is not optimal with my foot issues.

  • At mile 8.44, I stopped my Garmin to grab a quick bite and drink for energy. I fogot to turn it back on! I didn't realize it until nearly 2 miles later.

Conditions:

  • 69°
  • Wind NNE 6 mph
  • Humidity 63%

Splits:

Thoughts:

  • I have a new night boot. I've worn it twice. It is very uncomfortable, but it seems to be helping. My foot pain is slightly less in the morning and throughout the day. I hope this trend continues. I'd really like to see a significant drop in time for my first few miles. I can't imagine shaving off enough minutes to secure a mariginally decent half-marathon finish if my I continue to start my runs so slow.
