5:00am. Came to the realization that my leg isn't going to get better on it's own, today was a recovery day so I made it such. 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer, and then 1200M swim in the pool. Did some leg presses and leg extensions on the machines in between. I tried to keep my heartrate up on both the elliptical and swimming. I've come to a strange place in my training, I've spent the last 16 weeks obsessing over 1 marathon and now I've realized I've put in the time and nothing I do at this point is really going to get me any faster. I've almost written it off now, and know that what ever happens is what happens. I've already starting just wanting to get it over with so I can move on to the next level, what ever that may be. At the Airport now off to San Francisco again, definately going to just take it easy the next 2 weeks, try and get some relaxing runs in but mostly try and get my leg feeling better for race day.
