This was supposed to be an easy long(er) day but for some reason it was hard/painful. First, when I run at 8:45 to 9:00 pace, I feel "clunky". There doesn't seem to be a rythem to my running. Second, I seemed to be stiff, my knee was tight, my left ankle had some weird needle like pains on the top of my foot and the ball of my left foot was sore.....Ahhhhhh....!
Okay...now I feel better. I decided to do a long (well long for me) low heart rate run keeping my HR at 140. Due to the hills on this run it was difficult since some of the hills are fairly long and others are steep. Overall I did pretty good. The weather was GREAT and the moon was full so the early part of the run was pretty cool....!
JG sent me information on a marathon in Logan UT that is right before the BQ regestration date. It looks like a great chance for me to qualify for Boston so I'm thinking very serious about going to it. If anyone know about it or has any suggestions I'm all ears (wait a minute, maybe that's why I can't run very fast...my ears catch too much wind :( )
