I completed my first ING New York City Marathon on November 1st, 2009 in 4 hours 55 minutes and 5 seconds. This will be my fourth marathon and I am going to bust my butt to break 4 hours on November 7th, 2010.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday...all mileage made.

I am sorry for anyone that might check this with any regularity. With the issues I have been having with cat ad the amount of school work I have had this week, I have not had much down time to catch up. I did reach all of the target mileage. Tuesday's 4 miler was hard. The pain I have in my left knee seems like it is here to stay...yay! My stopwatch stopped working before I recorded the time, but I seem to remember being around a 9 min and 34 sec mile. Which is not great...but ok. I did Wednesday night at the gym on the treadmill. I did not feel like I had any energy and that worries me a little. I ended up doing the 7 miles in 1 hr 6 min and 5 secs. I really had a difficult time maintaining any type of focus. The pain in the knee has been getting a little harder to ignore. I made sure to do more stretching when I was done. The run this morning was again all about the knee. It hurt the entire time. I am hoping these next two days off will help for Saturday's shorter long run of 11 miles. As for the time this morning, I don't have my time handy but believe it was around 38 minutes and 30 seconds. I will check and update tonight when I get home. Tomorrow is my birthday...kind of wish I was running....but I will enjoy the day off regardless. Thanks for reading.

  1. Wow, hope the knee thing works itself out. Jeff has always had trouble with his knee; he kept reminding himself to take it easy because when it really got bad it made him have to stop for quite awhile... don't push too hard! :)
