Probably should have ran 5 today, but did a hilly 4 instead 'cause its convenient to my house and heck- I like it! 9:09 pace. A little quicker than yesterday. Felt much better today. Maybe my body is getting back into it after a week off. I did have a buggy foot cramp (around the arch) that was really irritating the beginning of the run, I did stop & stretch it briefly then it was a better, but still there for the rest of the run. Two of my toes are also bruised . I may not have picked the best shoes this time, but I don't dare change them with the marathon so close - so I'll just live with it. Despite all this complaining I did have a great run, put some new tunes on the IPOD and the weather was beautiful! Still went out late (10:00 am) but not as late as yesterday so it wasn't as hot.
Tomorrow Heather & I (and hopefully Chris) will be running Veyo hill repeats (6-8 miles depending on if we do 3 or 4 repeats, I guess the hill is a mile long? going off other runners' experience w/ this marathon) to try to psychologically prepare us for that tough part of the marathon. I'm actually pumped to do it- am I sick or what?! hee hee...
