Same as yesterday. If I keep feeling like I do I might try a run tomorrow.

I decide to try a run as my leg seemed to be a little better, plan was to take it a mile at a time and see how it goes... It felt pretty darn good but then I have had almost a week off so I'm sure that has to do with a lot of it.  I ran out to Mini GU corner and then back to the house, I would stop a little along the way just to not over do it. My average pace was pretty good at 8:20 with a total time of 50:46, it feels pretty good right now but tomorrow will tell and then the day after that. If I can get this behind me then I still might try for SGM, if I can't get 4 decent long runs in a row then I will probably bow out, time will tell...

See ya tomorrow.

It was a very difficult run today... My leg was really bothering me on the way down to run the girls, but then after a few miles it was tolerable and I ran just over 2 miles with them, and they did really well. I then ran home and it was feeling pretty good, not as good as yesterday but tolerable. So, I really don't know where to go from here, I can't really train like I would like for SG so I don't know if I should just bite the bullet and cancel out or try and see if I can continue to train and then just get through it. I probably need to go and have it checked for a stress fracture, because if it is one and I keep running on it then studies have shown that you can actually break it... I don't know what to do. Any advice out there? My average pace was way slow at 9:03 with a total time of 52:07.

See ya tomorrow.
