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 was a cool trail run through Wompatuck State Park in Hingham, Massachusetts. I got up early and drove the 15 minutes to this forested park from my parent's house and the park was empty besides one other trail runner. The first half of the run was through rocky and rooted forest trail. It was mostly flat but was enjoyable for having to be careful about footing. The second half was along paved bike trails that wandered around Andrew River Reservoir and then through more forest. One of my favorite parts was running across the top of the dam that creates the Reservoir, with water on one side and a big, slopped, concrete drop-off on the other. By the time I puttered to 14 miles my foot was killing me again and the park was pretty crowded. A 5K was organizing as I was leaving the park and there were people everywhere. My time was terrible during this run because of my foot and for having to stop every half mile or so to check my map to make sure I was taking the correct turn on the multitude of trails.

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.

Day 156

Time/Distance/Pace: 1:32:07 - 8 miles - 11:31

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: It was blizzarding out and my wife was kind enough to put my STABILicers in the garage since winter is "over." So it was the hardest 3 miles I've run in a while and was rough on my hamstrings because of all the slippage.

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.
