What a beautiful morning! I should have worn my sunglasses on the the run today. I did wear my new Asics Nimbus socks and used some Body Glide Liquid Powder on my toes. My run was nearly painless for the first time in over a week! I also got a pair of Wigwam Ironman socks that I'll try tomorrow. Now I'm off on the motorcycle to the annual ABATE swap meet. What a great day for a ride!

| | 4:30am The ironman socks didn't cut it this morning. They are too thin and my little toe on the right foot flared up again. I can hardly walk on it now! It figures that the asics I wore yesterday are more expensive, but I guess my feet are worth it. My toes are starting to resemble shredded mini wheats and how can you put a price on that? :) Aside from my toe, I felt good on the run and it seems like I'm getting a little faster with less effort. Or Maybe its just adrenaline from the blister pain... Pace 7:40 | |

The sideways rain today really made me appreciate yesterday's dry weather. It's too bad that I was so wrapped up in my other issues that I didn't stop to appreciate that. My toe still hurts, but it will pass.
275 miles this month? I never thought I would be able to do that!

Windy, but no rain today; praise the Lord for that! My toe still hurts, but it will pass; praise the Lord for that too.

Woohoo, no rain again!! My right shin was killing me for the first 3 miles today for some reason. I almost quit early, but it was so much worse going downhill that I figured it might actually get better going uphill. I hung in there until the first big ascent on the 10 miler and the pain went away by the time I reached the top. The rest of the run was great after that. I just kept thinking about my day of rest and massage tomorrow. I was a little slower today than the rest of the week, but overall it's been a very good week!

I usually have some company on my Saturday runs, but today I was solo, unless I count shredded mini toe as a partner. I ran at comfortable pace on a pretty flat course and never looked at my time until the end. I felt really good at 15 miles so I decided to go for 20 today. Around mile 18 my legs started feeling really heavy, but I wanted to finish the whole 20 so I just tried to concentrate on maintaining my form and didn't worry at all about speed. I finished feeling OK but not great. Then I looked at my garmin and saw that my average pace was faster than my goal marathon pace! No wonder I was so tired! This is pretty encouraging considering I still have almost 3 months left to train before race day.
