Still running - getting out a lot more now with the better weather. I had a 3.5 mile race last thursaday and came in at 27:38 (goal was to break 28 so I'm happy).

Considering a 15k that will be on 7/8 - never ran that far before, I could definitely finish it, maybe just not very quickly. Training schedule is on the fridge... step 1.

I've been slowed by some foot pain. I'm really really hoping it's not plantar faciiatis or whatever.

But, I'm getting into decent shape for the first time in about 9 years, which is nice. I took a week off to let my body recoup after a couple of hard weeks, and I feel pretty good about being ready for the marathon training program starting on June 18th.

I was sidelined with a stress fracture for a bit, so I've been hitting the gym (bike/weights), and now soccer season has started for me, so I'm doing a ton of running, I just can't really log it with the Nike sensor.

I have a 1.5 week period with no games starting in a few days, so I'm going to try to get back into running pretty hard during the downtime (though my foot still seems kind of funky)

I can't believe I'm still in 4th place [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yes sir.

Inside of 2 months 'til NYC.

I'm just trying to get to the starting line healthy. I know I'll be prepared, I ran an 18 miler last Sunday and I have another this Sunday.

Unfortunately I was diagnosed w/ Plantars Fasciitis last Tuesday by my podiatrist. Ugh, I have a podiatrist. Anyway, hope there are some others still running.

BUMP

Ship the marathon!!



Yes, ran the Portland Marathon yesterday. The calibration is off a little as you can see, but the time is accurate. It was easily the hardest athletic event I've ever undertaken.

Made all of the first-time marathoner mistakes, like starting out a little too fast. Passed the half marathon point at about 1:55, so I had some dreams of finishing sub-4 hrs.

Instead...can you tell where I started to get leg cramps? I had a planned walking point at mile 16, up a big hill before a bridge. After I started up the cramps would come and go, and the rest was pretty tough.

But, I gutted it out and finished, and I was pretty excited after I was done. I can barely move today, but it's a good hurt.

Couple of action shots:

Mile 12, feeling strong.



Mile 21, putting on a happy face, even though I was hurting!



I never felt like I hit the wall at all - I had plenty of energy, and my aerobic capacity/breathing was fine. The legs just didn't hold up.

Next time I guess! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks to Entity for recommending the training book, and somehow indirectly kicking this whole thing off for me. I could barely run 2 miles last January, so it goes to show what you can do in a short period of time.
