not giving up on the comeback

felt good day - a little discomfort in the left foot but it seems like it will hold up.  managed two runs today in between meetings and kids and such.  I think maybe spring might be starting to arive...I hope so. 

4.5 @ 7:06 pace

4.2 @ 6:50 pace

Got more snow today -- argh!  At least I was able to run in it - the sidewalks were just wet.  I misread my calendar and when I figured it out, i had only had an hour today, including dressing time, so I had to take off a few tenths of my run today.  Otherwise it was fine.  My foot is still a little wonky but it will be fine. 

Against my better judgement I signed up for a 5K that is next Saturday.  But it is a local one for the schools, so I thought I could try to get my butt moving faster than it has in a while and see how slow I am...plus the kids are running the 1 mile so I thought I might as well. 

7.4 - 7:05 ave pace

felt good today despite the windy and cold conditions.  I really hate running in the wind. 

4.6 @ 6:54 ave

4.1 @ 6:45 ave

bad run - felt no energy
hate the wind
very pretty day other than the wind

6@8:07 pace

getting way much sleep the past three night -- not sure why I'm getting sleepy at 8:30, but I guess I need it.  Must be fighting something off.

Today at lunch - 4 miles s@ 6:54 ave pace

the wind is a little less today and the temps are a little higher, which is nice

will try another 4+ before the pinewood derby tonight

Tomorrow is my last long run (24 planned) before the marathon on the 21st.  I'm not really looking forward to it but I'll do it.  Hopefully the winds are light and the sun is out in the morning. 

another 4.1 after work - slow pace

Well I just finished my last long run before the marathon later this month.  The plan was to do 24 but I didn't plan my route, just added a little loop onto the beginning.  It wasn't as long as I thought and I only did 23.  Either way it was a really nice day for running -- barely any wind, sunny, and warming up to 50.
I listened to Dean K's book Ultramarathon Man.  I  hadn't read that in a while and it helped keep me going at the end
I don't think I drank much more today compared to last week but I definitely felt a lot better after today's run.  

Off to do some yardwork and enjoy the weather!   :)
