I am not running AGAIN today... still trying to let my toe heal. I really want to run, it's just a toe, right? But, I think it just may be smarter to wait a bit. Especially since I am going to be jumping back in to training for another marathon.

Kimmie, I'm sure everything will be fine, just be careful. I had all kinds of new aches with my feet during my recovery. I had to cut-back and just see what each day brings, but now they are fine. Don't know how they know we need 26 days of recovery but it has been right on everytime for me. Doc called, biospy was inconclussive, recommend removing lymph node. I'm running FAR the morning of that appointment.

Ive gotta get out tonight. Yesterday was a scheduled run day but I had a football game to go to so I pushed tonight--forgetting about Trick or Treat. So, it will be my typical late run after everyone is in. My ankle leg has been funky lately. Ok after I warm up to run. Achy when I walk.

jhall, (I have you an abbreviation) Weather is awesome. Wow did I loose my tan quickly, but still great to wear shorts again. Had a nice 6 mile run tonight. Weird how easy it is to build miles with doubles.

And Bugs has also been running in world class events. Tell me this isn't her (lifted from deep in the swamp), here: http://www.runningahead.com/groups/2000/Forum/Post/05be748c5fdc47af9d2fbe97b724654a#focus

My musles have been very sore this week. I think they are arguing for rest. They will get it--but just in the form of very easy miles. Doesnt feel any worse after running..So I think its just general soreness from adding miles after doing the marathon. I am going to modify my long run from 16 to 12 on Sunday. That actually follows the HH 6 week between marathon plan..but I tried to jump into the 8 mile between plan. So, between now and then..the schedule will be alternating 4 and 6 mile runs four times a week, and long run on Sunday..up to 18 or 20, in two weeks, and back down to 12 before the marathon.

It sure is. It's amazing how much more you can get done in 9 or 10 runs than with 6 or 7. MTA: Long run was 18 this week. I just felt weird throughout today, almost discombobulated. Possibly my slowest effort of the fall, thankfully, it's the long run, so slow is in, right? A combination of either one of two things may have been why: 1. Massage on Thursday, and I possibly didn't drink enough yesterday to fully recover. 2. New, heavier shoes. I just bought a pair of Wave Nirvana 4s to replace my Air Zoom Vomeros, and I swear that they are a lot heavier (they are not as flexible, for sure). I think its 11 oz vs 12.7 oz, but it seems to be a really huge difference running 18 miles. 10 weeks til Disney. So close, but so far away!
