At 12:30 last night, as I was still toiling away at my computer, I had to admit to myself that I was going to miss the AIDS Marathon early training run on Saturday. So, I slept late (8:30) and did some things in the morning, then went out for a 7-miler...the designated "long run" mileage for this week. I am working hard to take the 1 minute walking breaks every 10-12 minutes or so, but that's hard for me. I am so used to thinking about walk breaks as "weakling" stuff, but coaches swear by them. I guess I'd better listen.
Anyway, after over 8 years, I am starting to have pain in my left knee again - so I guess I'm going to really have to watch it as I train. Ice wouldn't hurt either, I'm sure.
Funny, even though I'm used to training alone I really missed the bustle of the group this morning! No matter what, I'm gonna have to get there next Saturday!
