So I wrapped up my longest weekend of running this past week, and most miles i’ve run in awhile (hit 43.5 miles this week). My 14.1 miler yesterday and an 8 miler today marks the point now where I need to start working harder. I did struggle towards the end of the run yesterday, both from fatigue and from being cold, so I know I have some work to do.

I’m happy to see that the weather isn’t quite going to be so brutal this week, with the temperatures being near average. Next weekend isn’t supposed to be so bad either, but we’ll have to wait and see. My feet are really beat up, I think they’re just adjusting to the Mizunos and the longer distances, I seem to have a lot of blisters and sore spots and thankfully I saw that the blood that I saw on my foot yesterday after my run was really just my one toe cutting into my other toe which ended up cutting it. No big deal, it wasn’t my toenail thank heavens!

Theres no work tomorrow (presidents day), so we’ll probably do more than the scheduled 4 miles although I am craving a day off which can’t come soon enough. Its been since Tuesday when I had back pain that I took a day off, and that wasn’t a deserved day off, so it didn’t feel so good. Well, only 4 more days of running until the next day off (which will be this Friday the 20th)!

Off to rest …
