wow, have i been slacking on posts!

Ok, so i have been training,just not telling anyone about it. I continue to believe in the mantra of flexibility. I got my miles in this week, but not how i was supposed to. I did not get my long run in last sunday, no excuses really, Krista was out of town and I had the boys. tough to get 2 hours under those conditions.

On tuesday, i ran 6.4 miles (my track is a "U" shape that is 1.6 miles one way...hence the strange distance), On wednesday, i rand 9.6 miles, and today i ran 7 miles. I have not been keeping time while on most of my longer runs, but my consistent pace continues to be around 8:30 to 8:45/mile.

My P.F. has gone away, i guess from the continued training and stretching. My toenails are taking a beating now, and i have started having the blackening of a couple of them. Everything i have read says it is almost inevitable when you start running the distances. They have not started hurting yet so i have not paid much attention to it.

I am 1 month away from the race, and have had the mixed feelings on whether i can run this distance. I am feeling more confident as I run the distances, and have been trying to figure out more of the fueling strategy before and during the race.

that is all for tonight.
