Good Morning
Hot and humid here today but I did something I never do on Mondays. I set my alarm for 6 am so I could run before it got too hot. However, it still got too hot! I went up to Centuria and ran on the Gandy Dancer Trail. Very nice. Level. Mostly in the shade going north from Centuria. So I went 3 miles north and then back to the car for a 2nd water bottle. Then 1 mile north again and back. Did 8 miles. Wanted to do 10 but it was just too hot and humid. Was afraid I would have a heat stroke. So that's my last long run before the race. I don't know. I had to walk some of the last 2 miles but that was due to heat. My knees were pretty much ok - an occasional pain but nothing to stop me. However, I was feeling some stress in my plantar fascia in that right foot today! Where did that come from? It's been fine for a year! So I'm going to wear that sock tonight I think. It seems fine now so I don't know. I'm still really wondering if I can actually do 13 miles. My pace was terrible today, too, because of the walking. So we'll soon find out.

You are my hero. I don't know if I could do an alarm on my day off!
Hot and humid are our enemies. You were smart to call it done. It really is dangerous to run in that weather, so you made the right choice.
I don't know what is happening to us! Falling apart. I'm having a lot of aches today. And my Planters has been irritating for almost a year. I suppose I need to just take a break. I have actually considered making a dr. appointment for the day after I get back in town. Cause I'm running that marathon, darn it!
You know, with all the running you are doing, I really do believe you can do it. And I'd be honest about it with you. You've gotten in enough practice though.
Love you1
Well, I certainly hope so. But it remains to be seen. I don't think I will do this again thought because I have really not enjoyed this training stuff at all. Too hard to work it in and then the weather hasn't cooperated at all. I went to bed with the night splint on but took it off about 1 am. Think I will take tomorrow off, too, and give it a rest.
And if you don't enjoy it, there is no point. Totally agree.
I've enjoyed this one less, but I think it is because I've been sick over this past month and it's taken some of the fun out of it. And now I'm so slow. That is very frustrating.
