jesus asked his father for forgiveness as the man washing his feet cried.
it is getting close, very close to race day. i had so much time before i ran in november that this seems like a shock. it will be what it will be though. the cold weather has been rough for run motivation. i have skipped planned runs when it has rained and been cold at the same time. i ran last saturday in the cold rain only because the forecast was snow. snow would have cancelled the sunday long run. i could not miss another training long run.
i don't mean to complain, but i like it better warm in my older age.
i ran yesterday. but i did not run early because of cold and fog; very unpleasant. by 11:00 am, the sun was out with blue skies and it was 50 degrees. it was great weather for a run. i prefer to run in the morning as there is less traffic and i can run with the full energy load i have in the morning. however, i ran well.
i did get shin splints for a short while. i battled some fatigue earlier than usual. and finally, i think i need new shoes as my feet hurt on the last mile. but it was a good run since i ran for two hours and i will run the marathon between two and three hours; this is three sundays from this run. i just have to keep up the pace.
if i have the energy, i will shop for some new shoes today. then i have about four or five runs to break them in before the race.
