12 miles under cool but perfectly sunny skies this morning.

I decided early last week to not run a fall marathon so I will not be running TCM or SGM. There was no way I was going to hit the new qualifying standard at TCM anyway and I'm mentally really burned out.

So I'm dropping mileage to about 70 a week and just focusing on the cross country season. I am considering the Houston Half Marathon in January as my next big race but have some time before I need to commit to that. Hopefully backing off a bit a being more low key will help me re-engerize mentally and physically.

Best of luck to Logan and others running SGM and TCM.

Couldn't run yesterday due to an injury. I saw the PT this morning and found out it is my hamstring, but in a weird place. It's actually where the hamstring and groin muscles attach to the knee. So the pain is on the interior of the knee but towatf the back or bend of the knee. I was able to eke out 9 miles this afternoon. I wasn't in pain but the muscle is very tight and very difficult to stretch. See how I feel in the morning.
