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.

Day 200

Weather: Rainy and Cool
Time/Distance/Pace: 32:05 - 3 miles - 10:42
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/87093557
Thoughts: A soaking wet run, by the end I was drenched. It feels so odd to be running such short distances before the marathon. I sort of feel like I'm under training and ruining my odds of completing. But, I'm following a proven method of training.

RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/85037018
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.

Thoughts: This run was during a complete downpour and I chose the wrong direction to run around the island so when I hit the front of the island I had the wind going against me. I had my iPhone in my pocket in a ziploc bag and it said I was done before I actually was and even tagged some people from my address book in the run. By the time that I was done the tendon to my big toe on my left foot was very sore, I'm hoping it doesn't hinder my training.

Thoughts: I ran this faster than I should have, but I have always loved running in the rain. My Achilles loosened up pretty quickly, so this 4-miler was a breeze.

Thoughts: Awful weather this morning, I loved it. It started off as rain and switched over to snow shortly after. As giant snowflake clusters pelted me in the face I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Running through the winter will make running in May that much easier.

Day 004
Start: 5:21am
Weather: Cool and Rainy
Time/Distance/Pace: 0:13:59 - 1.51 miles - 9:17

Thoughts: I started out stiff and my hands quickly became numb with the cool temperature and rain. I figured it would be a difficult run, even though I prefer running in the rain. Lately, (because of my knees) I make sure I have a day off between runs. My left knee bothered me yesterday from running Monday and Tuesday. But, within a quarter of a mile I had loosened up and felt quite good. On the return of my out-and-back run I started to think about a conversation I had with a fellow runner about the minimalist style of running. On a whim I shortened my stride, leaned forward slightly and concentrated on landing less on my heal and more on the middle of my foot. It seemed awkward and I certainly felt like I was working harder, but instantly my knee stopped hurting. Walking back to the house post-run I pondered whether the release of pain was psychological or that I've been hyper-extending my knee while running and shortening my stride prevented that. I don't necessarily want to be taken by the minimalist craze (though the theory behind it makes perfect sense to me) and with my limited knowledge in the subject and the fact that I'm training for a marathon, now is probably not the best time to be adjusting my gait. But, I think I will look into it more.
Tip: Seapoint Farms shelled edamame make a great ice pack. The edamame don't freeze together like most vegetables so they conform to the shape of your sore area. The packaging is tougher than typical frozen vegetable plastic. Also, they're almost guaranteed to not be eaten by your family.
