Thoughts: This was supposed to be a 5 miler, but after skipping Tuesday's 9 mile run because my left foot hurt I decided to just run until my foot began to aggravate me again. It was for the best that I shortened this run because I hadn't laid out my clothes the night before so I was off to late start anyway. Needless to say, I'm concerned about being injured this late in my training and having to skip and shorten runs.

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.

A week from that Saturday is my longest run and then the distances taper off. I just have to make it to that point and then I should be fully recovered in time for the marathon.

And, I didn't hit my wall until between mile 16 and 17. Those last two miles were utter hell, but I made it. Pretty cool that I've also broken the 400 mile mark and 3 days of total training time!

Thoughts: I felt pretty good for this run. I didn't hit a wall and my Achilles never pinched like it did the previous week. At around 10 to 11 miles in my hips began to hurt, but that only bothers me during the run so I'm not concerned about it. I continue to ice my heel and it typically feels fine prior to my Tuesday or Saturday runs but begins to bother me again afterward. As long as it doesn't get worse I think I am fine for the marathon. I keep hoping that it strengthens up and the pain goes away all together.

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.

Thoughts: Quite the blustery morning. I kept the pace slow because of my tender Achilles. At this point I'm pretty much going to be running 11-12 minute miles to make sure I can get the distance in during the week without injuring myself. I've resigned to the fact that this is just my first marathon and I shouldn't be worried about my pace at all. Near the end of my run I was surprised by a fireball shooting across the sky. It was slow and bluish-white and turned to green as it approached the horizon. It lasted at least two seconds. I submitted it to the American Meteor Society's Fireball Sightings site, the second time I have done so.

Thoughts: My left Achilles has been giving me a hard time. It only pinches a little during long runs, but it's been "creaking" during the day. Besides being annoying, it worries me that it may lead to something worse if I don't take care of it. From what I've read most people suggest taking 2 weeks off running, but at this point I can't afford to do that. My miles are really ramping up and if I skip two weeks I will not be able to complete the runs the following week and would probably injure myself. So, I've added some stretches for my Achilles as well as eccentric heel raises and icing twice a day. I also walked these four miles instead of running. I'm hoping that the four days off from running will be enough to prevent injury from my 15 miler on Saturday. Good news though, my Brooks Green Silence showed up today. Oh, and 300 miles total training distance!

I had a serving before my run and another at mile 6 and my pace didn't continue to drop like it normally does (miles 8 and 9 were actually better than mile 7), so it seemed to help.

I think this was the first time I didn't feel fatigued after 6 miles. It seems that 7 miles is just about as far as I can run in the morning when getting up at 4am and leaving enough time to shower.

Thoughts: This run was after run the Irish Road Rover 5k, where I had a pretty quick time. I paid for that quick time. My hips hurt from the beginning and my pace was slow throughout. Where Back Bay wasn't muddy it was wet, and where it wasn't wet it was icy. By about mile 7 I was ready to quit, but I kept pushing through. I tried to measure my run out so I ended back at my car at 10 miles but came up a little short. I would have finished those 0.2 miles but it was getting too close to boat time. I run the next two days, hopefully I recover before next weekend's long run.

Where Back Bay wasn't muddy it was wet, and where it wasn't wet it was icy. By about mile 7 I was ready to quit, but I kept pushing through. I tried to measure my run out so I ended back at my car at 10 miles but came up a little short. I would have finished those 0.2 miles but it was getting too close to boat time. I run the next two days, hopefully I recover before next weekend's long run.
