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.0 -
Two weeks from today is marathon so I guess it is that time again...
Probably take this week much as normal, but skip the long runs and then try and pull back next week. Biggest problem will be not eating 1000+ extra calories each day without the big deficits of run days
Also tomorrow I start a new job in a new town and know nothing about the running environment/culture in that area. Not sure where I will be able to run. If at all since it is in an actual city.5 -

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.

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!3 -
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.2 -

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.

Did my first ~5K Trail Race today. Finished around 48 minutes which I'm pleased with since I had to powerhike the hills. In the mud. Also, I don't think I finished last although official results won't be available for a few hours yet.
Gosh that was fun.18 -
@sarahthes Great pics! Looks like a fun race!0

@PastorVincent It was so muddy. So fun! Some people avoided the puddles... I just kinda charged right thru.6

@sarahthes Yay girl! Love the pics! And the mud!1

Today was a big day for me! I finished writing my Master's thesis (aside from a bit of formatting and then defending it in two weeks) and I just got back from an evening 10.79 km run! I gave up logging my calories today (due to chocolate consumption provoked by finishing said thesis) but I'm feeling refreshed and accomplished with a monthly total of 116.1 km. That puts me 16.1 OVER my goal.14
