Total Distance
12.50

I only ran 2.50 this morning on the treadmill. I wanted to try out the Fastwitch 3 shoes. I am not going to go to them this close to the marathon but will the next time I run a race. They felt good. I will have to get them out on the road next time to see how they feel.

I have been trying to decide what and where to run in the morning. I think that 10 miles is my distance I am going to run. My options right now are:

a) run 10 on the course to the finish line

b) start at the finish line run up 5 miles then back track.

c) start 10 miles from my home and run to the finish line then continue to my home in Bloomington.

I suppose I will make that decision in the morning.........

If anyone is running 10 on the course let me know.

Change of plans; The day was feeling so good that I decided to take my last long run today. There was some cloud cover so I went for it. I ran up to Tonaquint then on to the Green Valley loop through the desert to the Green Vally Spa then made my way back along dixie drive, Tonaquint drive. BAD IDEA. As soo as I got going the clouds went away, it got hot and the path was way too rocky! This was not a good run.....period. I am beat, now it is time to go chill.

It really doesn't matter where you run tomorrow. In fact it might be good to not go on the course. Just keep the pace slow and have fun where ever you go. We will be out at Santa Clara for the Swiss Days race. Dave and I are not running the race but Logan is and we will all be doing a mild progression tempo run of 15 miles in that neck of the woods. I'd say for you just go run something different to take your mind off the norm...
