Continuing on the comeback trail, I was back at Planet Fatness this morning for a midweek "kinda long."
There's more snow in the forecast for tomorrow, which
undoubtedly means another work-at-home day. This is screwing
things up in two ways: I had to cut short today's run after 6 miles to
ensure I'd be able to get to the office, and tomorrow is up in the air. I
have to say, joining PF was a good move with so few outdoor running
days available. But I am done with this winter. I'm over it. Bring on
some spring.

| What the heck is that schmutz? |
Remember how excited I was about my new shoes a few weeks
ago? Life of a runner: They're not new anymore. Even with the week off,
they have 63 miles on them already. That would put me in the market in
about 10 or 11 weeks -- right at the time of the marathon. That's a
no-go. So I'm thinking I'll break in a new pair during my taper,
starting 3 weeks out.
Today's run was a pace 6. I added that extra tenth because
the .9 was driving me nuts. 6.11 in 55:30 -- a 9:05 pace, totally
negative splitted. Last mile was in the 8:35 range.
If I get to PF tomorrow, I'm looking to do interval work. If not, perhaps I can get a quick home workout in.
Total miles since starting the blog: 316.0.
