Felt pain in my right foot from Friday's run. Really dont want to be injured right now! So I XTed for 70mins on elliptical in place of easy/long run.

Final speed/tune-up workout. 2 miles easy, then 2x1 mile at 10K pace (6:31min/miles or 9.2 on treadmill) with about a 4 min recovery, 2 miles easy. 

Felt like I had some gas in the tank. Didn't feel over the top pace-wise, and neither my foot nor hamstring were in pain. 

I gained a few pounds in the last few weeks from (likely) carb (read pumpkin pie)-loading/Thanksgiving, running less and resting to prevent injury. It sucks not being at optimal race weight, but SOOOO much better than being injured or weak before the race.

XT 40 mins easy. Short arm-strength workout (3x pushups (20), bicep curls with overhead lift (20), tricep dips (30), bent over rows (20 each side)).

6 miles easy on the frosty Hudson river trail. Felt good to just run, not worrying about pace, just enjoying the crisp morning blue sky. 

This was my last run before the race. I'm ready to rock.
