Thoughts: Another run without any leg pain. I'm starting to feel good about taking four weeks between my longest run and the marathon as I feel that I've recovered a lot in this final week. I just hope that running the big distance won't be harder after a fourth week as compared to after the third week. I looked up the weather report for the marathon and it said it would be a high of 90 degrees, so that should make things interesting. I checked again later and it said 77 degrees. Either way it is going to be hot.

Thoughts: Brrrrrrr! With wind chill it was -12 degrees out. My legs were still sore from Friday's workout and Saturday's long run, so my pace was pretty slow. I'm starting to worry that I'm not going to be able to recover completely before next Saturday's long run. I'm thinking that I may have to switch my Wednesday and Friday workouts so that Friday is completely upper body and I won't risk having sore leg muscles on the day of my long runs.

Thoughts: After running distances of 9 and 5 miles, this 3 mile run flew by. My legs felt a little tight, especially my glutes and upper hamstrings, but otherwise I felt fine. I'm still excited that I have no knee pain even though I'm up to 20 miles per week. I'm still getting used to getting up at 4 instead of 4:30, I didn't realize how much of a difference 30 minutes makes.

Thoughts: A decent run, my pace was good overall. I had a hard time on a steep hill which slowed down my second mile, but I kept my pace up for the third mile. I also realized today that I need to start getting up at 4am instead of 4:30am as I had not time for breakfast. As the miles increase on the weekday runs I need that extra half an hour to get ready for work.

I'm starting to feel like this is possible, even though I'm still below the dreaded 20 miles per week (where my knees have given out in the past). The plan is to register for the marathon in March before the price increases as I will have been running 20+ miles per week for a good month by then.

Thoughts: Once again I felt pretty damn good during my run. Typically Tuesday has been my best day and I'm still a little sore from the Monday/Tuesday combo on Thursday. But, today my legs felt rested. I'm still fighting a cold which slowed me a little around the start of mile 3 and it was about 10 degrees out.
I'm registering for Irish Road Rover 5K today. It's on the day that I'm supposed to compete in a half marathon, but the only one available in the area on that weekend is a snowshoe marathon in Vermont. I'm not planning on hurting myself by running in showshoes two months before my marathon. I'll probably run a few laps of Back Bay after the race to get in somewhere close to 13.1 miles (at least 3.1 of those will be during a race).
