Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

Impressive!

No mention of the pain from yesterday?

Thanks, Rob. Tried to identify the most intense workout that I could complete with the least effort and strain...so I chose quarters (I hope that makes sense).

I'm having a really hard time running fast miles right now. Foot is sore, but I'm hanging in there.

With marathon prep logging consistently high mileage is the most important thing. A little goes a long way when it comes to speed - don't force it. All the long, aerobic miles you put in now will benefit you in April. I like throwing in a few fast quarters when I don't have the mental energy to do anything longer. Makes me feel fast without wearing me out.

Don't be afraid to take a couple days off. And remember to ice your food for 15 minutes or so a couple times a day.
