| I almost ran this morning, but decided to give my blisters from Saturday one more day of healing. | | Add Comment |

| I wasn't sure if the others were going out at 5:30 (for 8 miles) or 5:45am (for 6). I decided on 6 so I went out at 5:45am. It turns out Kent, Kurt, and Larry had left at 5:30am. Thursday's course is such that I was able to meet up with them and run the last few miles with them, which I very much enjoyed. I didn't push real hard, but ran pretty strong. I didn't feel any pain from the blisters or from the calf that has been bothering me. I commented that it felt good to run pain-free again. | | Add Comment |

| I ran the Wednesday hills with Kent, Kurt, and Larry. We left at 5:30am so I took my headlamp just in case. It was pretty dark in the hills so I ended up using it. Like yesterday, I didn't try to push too hard but still ran pretty strong up the hills. I did push the pace coming down 1600 North. I think I averaged around 6:30 for the last 1/2 mile or so. It felt good. Again, no real pain to speak of (knock on wood). | | Add Comment |

| Unlike Tuesday, today I opted to go out at 5:30am and do 8 miles instead of six. We all felt pretty tired this morning. The pace wasn't really quick, and the hills were hard. Nevertheless, for me it was three days in a row of pain-free running, so I'm satisfied. | | Comments(3) |

| I ran the neighborhood 5K course this morning. After a few days of running pain-free at a lesser pace, I wanted to push the pace a little, but I also didn't want to do too much before tomorrow's long run. Without looking at my watch, I tried to run what felt like a marathon pace. It was not an all out 5K pace. I ran the downhill mile in 7:16, the level mile in 7:42, and the uphill mile in 7:39. I averaged 7:30/mi overall. I don't know why the uphill mile is faster than the level mile, except that during the uphill mile I was thinking about how Jonathon passed me there in this year's neighborhood 5K race and how next year that wasn't going to happen. :-) I regained a little confidence this morning. I felt strong, I was satisfied with the times, and wasn't really pushing all that hard. | | Add Comment |

| Unbelievable! Yesterday I accidentally dropped our deck umbrella stand on my left big toe. I iced it right away. I'm pretty sure it is not broken (thank goodness), but it's a little swollen and kind of purple. I can walk on it without too much pain, but didn't dare run on it this morning. I'm hoping I'll be able to run Monday. After overcoming rolled ankles, strained muscles, blisters, bonking badly, and smashed toes, the marathon will seem like a cake walk...if I last that long. :-) | | Comments(1) |
