Thoughts: A rainy morning run, and I was worried about my foot. But, it made it the whole 5 miles without becoming painful. It probably helped that I missed yesterday's 3 mile run.

Day 179
Start: 3:46pm
Weather: Clear and Warm
Time/Distance/Pace: 54:36 - 5.47 miles - 10:00
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/82690549
Thoughts: This was a beautiful run around the Race Point bike path in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The family went on a mini-vacation and I was very excited to find this bike path for my run. It was a perfectly clear blue sky, very warm and pretty windy out, but despite its location the run was pretty sheltered from the wind. I only saw a few bike riders the entire run. The path went from sand dunes to beech forest to swamp and back to sand dunes making the run feel very exotic. I enjoyed the run so much that I continued to run until I made the full loop, even though it was beyond my 5 miles.

Day 176
Start: 7:09pm
Weather: Clear and Warm
Time/Distance/Pace: 48:44 - 5 miles - 9:45
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/82079669
Thoughts: A nice warm evening for a run. The highlight was an incredible, bright red sunset near the beginning. I had the normal pains in my left knee and achilles, but I ran this pretty quickly and they never got real painful. I'm slightly concerned that I ran this in the evening and that'll be running ten miles early the next morning, but my legs are getting pretty well conditioned to the distances. This is the longest week of the training, so as long as I make it through the week it is downhill from here.

Time/Distance/Pace: 52:58 - 5 miles - 10:36
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/81103143
Thoughts: This run actually felt pretty good. My left knee and achilles weren't better, but they felt fine during the run. I tried to keep my pace between 11 an 12, but kept speeding up. I was working from home so I started later than usual. I'm glad that I don't always run at this time because the newspaper delivery lady drives like a maniac. If I always ran at this time, I'm certain that I'd eventually get hit by her.

RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/80477928
Thoughts: This was a pretty rough run. Yesterday I played tennis and basketball and ended up aggravating my left knee and left achilles. I limped through the run, hoping that my knee and achilles would get better before the next run. We'll see.

RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/79687772
Thoughts: This was the first run in a long time where I didn't feel any pain while running. Again I planned on running an 11-12 minute mile, but I felt so good that I just let my pace be whatever it would be. With nothing, including my achilles, not hurting during the run it has increased my confidence that I will be able to complete the marathon.

Weather: Clear and Cold
Time/Distance/Pace: 56:52 - 5 miles - 11:22
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/78344559
Thoughts: I kept my 11-12 minute pace to take it easy on my Achilles. Basically all running now revolves around my Achilles, and most of my thought during the day. I'm icing it several times a day which seems to help. It still hasn't hurt since last week's long run but I feel pressure and I'm always aware of it. I'm hoping that if I continue to take it easy and ice it often that it will either toughen up like my knees or at least hold out until the marathon. Speaking of which, we booked a condo at Sugarloaf for marathon weekend, I'm starting to get excited for it.

Weather: Cold and Clear
Time/Distance/Pace: 50:12 - 5 miles - 10:02
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/68378925
Thoughts: A good run. The sun was shining and the roads were nearly completely clear of ice. For a change I listened to an audiobook during the run. I think I will be okay running the marathon without a distraction, but I can only run the limited miles on the island so many times without starting to lose my mind. Listening to something is a good distraction from that and music is too likely to influence my pace.

Time/Distance/Pace: 50:05 - 5 miles - 10:01
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/63085999
Thoughts: I did pretty well considering that I was out drinking last night. I was pretty excited for this run as it was the first 5 miler. Once again I did a kettlebell workout on Friday, so my hamstrings were tight. But, I felt much better than last week when I was hobbling around. About a mile and a half into the run it began to lightly snow, which was nice. During the entire run I did not see a single person or vehicle, which was also nice.
