The Month of October

It is hard to imagine that a year ago I ran the Marine Corps Marathon...It was a rough race overall, but the first 13 miles felt amazing. And now I struggle with 3 miles.

Monday October 4th. I continue to run in my Five Fingers. They are starting to feel better and I am getting used to running and being able to feel all of the stuff under my feet.

Tuesday October 5th. My calves were sore so I decided to switch back to my Asics for the run. I noticed at the end of the race my hips hurt. My knee has been sore with both shoes.

Thursday October 7th. I continue in my Asics. It was a rough run. My legs felt very heavy.

Saturday October 9th. I am back in my Five Fingers. This week the runs are getting a little easier.

Sunday October 10th. In my Asics. I went for my longest run in awhile. 5 miles on the W&OD. This is one of the easiest ways for me to go for long runs since I don't have to really worry about where I am going. I walked a fair amount, but it was a decent pace.

Monday October 25th. Back in the Five Fingers for a slow 2 mile run.

Wednesday October 27th. The best run yet in my Fingers. Total of 2 miles at a 11:41 min pace. This is a minute per mile faster than my last run of the same distance.

Saturday October 30th. We walked to the Capitol end of the National Mall from Rosslyn which was about 3 miles. Then we stood for about 3 hours and then we walked back 3 miles to the car. Fun day. Nice weather.
