Only time for 4 miles because I slept through my alarm this morning.  I didn't sleep well all night, but then a little too well at 5:45 when my phone was beeping.  I ran the St. Mary's and Albertson loop.  Left leg still feeling the effects of Saturday.

4 more miles tonight when I ran to Jill's for dinner and FHE with the grandparents.  Very fun night as we enjoyed having the parents around for a while.

10 miles this morning.  Yup, I got up in time to run!  2 laps around the golf course/Foothill drive loop.  Legs feel better but nowhere near 100%.  I just have to make it through this week and then it's taper-time!

Today's run put me @ 1844 miles for the year, more than double last years (921), with 40 more days in 2009.  Good stuff!

Enjoyable run this morning through the dense fog of Medford.  Not sure if that's how it will be throughout winter, but its been like this every morning for the last week.  I ran the Foothill/golf course loop and then south on North Phoenix Highway to Home Depot and back.  Great hills and my legs feel even better today.  Still not 100% but we're getting there.

6 miles on the treadmill in Coos Bay. Much too rain and wind to run outside this morning.  The treadmill at the Best Western is the best treadmill I've ever ran on.  It's not the biggest, newest or nicest, but it's soooo smooth.  Anyway, each mile was quicker (7:20, 7:10, 7:00, 6:50, 6:40, 6:00), all at 3% incline.  Hopefully a few more tonight when I get back to Medford.

4.5 miles tonight as I ran to Jill's house and a bit more. Legs feel good. My hip was absolutely killing me after driving back from Coos Bay. I thought that would be the case every time, but this is the first that it's been bad since I've been making this trip. Time for a chiropractor visit....

One of the slowest runs I've ever had.  I seemed to hurt everywhere, especially my right leg (achillies, calf, knee, hip).  Could only manage 8:00/mile pace and that seemed to be pushing it.  I just need to make it through tomorrows run and then it's the homestretch.

Pretty good run this morning.  It wasn't a big confidence booster but at the same time, I survived and my legs feel okay.  Going into my 3rd marathon, I'm trying a 2-week taper rather than 3-week like I've done in the past.  We'll see how I handle that....

First 7 miles were ran on North Phoenix Highway past Home Depot and back to get in some rolling hills/downhill.  Took some Gu and water and felt fine.  Next 8 were ran in the hills above East Medford, then back to the house for more Gu and water.  Last 6 were ran around the golf course/Foothill dr.  I ran in my Type A's and they felt good through 18, but after that not so much.  That puts me at a loss for what I should wear @ CIM....

Total Time was 2:28:45 for a 7:05/mile average.  Just glad to have finished and to be done for the week.
