    Interesting that I have run two marathons and this has never come up before. Foot looks fine today and still do not feel anything so going to assume y'all are right.

    0422-5k Total-42.6k Goal-80k

    Finally an outdoors run.

    Today's PT session was... interesting. Was told that I was not using my glutes or hip flexors at all, spent an hour trying to get them to wake up and smell the coffee. Felt awesome in the trial run just after the session.

    Then I went out for an outdoors run, and felt totally weird. My legs wanted to go faster but everything else was yelling at me to slow down. Besides I was starving by 2km so cut it short and went home. :/

    Upcoming races:
    20181027 Mogan Ultra 30k

    I was supposed to run 7.5 miles today, but it turned into 7.6 by the time I got back to my house. The last 3 miles were in the pouring rain, but it felt nice, and I didn’t really mind.

    I also just bought Deena Kastor’s new book, so my rainy afternoon will be spent reading!

    I did my first ever trail race today. 5k in 39:03 which is 21 seconds slower than my road pb. It was tough but I’m happy with my time.

    Just 21 seconds? Wowza! That's great! Congratulations!

    The road PB and trail PB's can be keep separate. :wink:

    Interesting that I have run two marathons and this has never come up before. Foot looks fine today and still do not feel anything so going to assume y'all are right.

    Foot problems from long runs and marathons look unpredictable to me:

    Training runs up to 22 miles in 2015 - no problems
    Buffalo 2015 - no problems
    22 mile training run for Boston 2016 - lost a big toenail
    Boston 2016 - lost the other big toenail
    subsequent training runs up to 22 miles - no toenail damage
    25 miles of Rochester 2016 ending in DNF - no toenail damage
    Boston 2017 - no toenail damage
    Boston 2018 - in process of losing a big toenail after the best managed marathon of my running career to date

    Yeah, I can explain Boston 2018 by the rain, and the 22 mile training run in 2016 because it was the first time on the hard 200m indoor track, but the rest of this just seems random.
