6 miles at about 11 pm last night....longest run of my training so far, but did it without taking a walking break, which shows how far I've come.
I made sure to eat right all day, and I think that made a big difference, as I tend to feel really fatigued if I don't eat well the day of a long run.

I did that too. I got to 10, and I was feeling it, but thought about pushing it out to 13.1 Then I thought the better of it. Now, with the Wine and Dine 1/2 less than 4 weeks away, is not the time to knock yourself out for a few days.

Nice work! The Birmingham weather is really nice right now in the early morning. I set out this morning with plans for 11 miles. At some point between miles 4 and 5, I developed a pain in my right foot, on the outside/top, almost straight down from the "ankle bone." I pushed on and got to 7 miles before I decided to shut it down and see what the deal was. I still have not figured it out. Hopefully a little rest will cure it.

Ran my first 10K today, the US 10K Classic in Atlanta/Marietta. It was quite a spectacle. 16,000 people showed up to cycle, skate, wheelchair, walk and run. Before the race, they had three skydivers parachute onto the course right in front of the start while the National Anthem played. One of the skydivers had a giant American flag attached to him. I think it would be impossible to witness that with so many people around and not be pumped up to run.
So, as for the results...the course was a pretty hilly stretch of highway. I got chewed up a little in some places, but I still managed to outstrip my best training pace over this distance and brought it home in 58 minutes...1,266th out of 2,998 runners who were being timed. I couldn't be happier with the result.
Also...About an hour after I finished, the men's pro cyclists finished their 100K race that had taken place on the highways and on Dobbins Air Force Base. That was a heck of a spectacle, watching those guys battle down the stretch at breakneck speed. Afterwards, I used the runners $10 discount to get into Six Flags White Water. It was a really fun day all around.

Thanks. It was a perfect run.
Ah, that is no good. I hope rest is the cure. I really get OCD about stingers and soreness. I almost have to let me body run its course. Last time I had some serious Achilles tendinitis, I iced my right foot so much in 24 hours I actually got frost bite and my skin was white and then was burned for 1 week. Nice. :lookaroun

Today I did the hills in my neighborhood, four miles. I think it was my best time ever, inspite of the wind. It is very windy here. On occasion, I could feel the breeze through my shoes. I almost got pushed over at one point.

Having trouble getting my short runs in this week....lots of baby prep going on in this household, as the C-Section is scheduled for Monday.
Maybe tomorrow after work I can get in a run. I'd like to get in at least one of my short runs before another 6 mile run on Saturday or Sunday.

I went to the Y today. I did strength training, a half hour on the step mill, a three mile run and a quarter mile walking cool down. Every workout, I include core and stretching.

Thanks for the reminder.
I need to start working in more strength, stretching and core.
Time to dust off the 'ol P90X Dvds.
