It was 69 degrees on my run today... a little hot for running, but can't complain too much for mid-January! Finally took my run off the hamster wheel and back onto the pavement - what a difference changing scenery can make! Lungs and sinuses still aren't cooperating so I had to walk a little more than preferred and on the one down hill my knee gave me a slight nudge as a reminder that it isn't a fan. I feel pretty happy thus far that my knee has been doing pretty well overall. A few aches and pins and needles now and again but nothing like last time. Still running slow - starting to come to grips with the fact that this is probably not going to be a PR marathon, unless I start embracing some pain and find out what the limit really is.
Starting to think of the rest of the training year... this marathon is in the beginning of March, then I'm thinking maybe do Seattle marathon in end of June, and I'm definitely taking down the Lake Murray Dam Tri in the end of September/beginning of October this year - erase that horrible DNF off my conscience.
Tomorrow ought to be interesting. I made a decision yesterday, and while making it knew it was a bad one.... I decided that I would push back my 6 mile run to today and still do my 14 mile long run on Sunday. We'll see how my body reacts.
