+60 since last post. Injured a hamstring last week and had to take a week (and counting) off. Ugh. I hate missing days. On the upside, I got into Boston for 2015, so that's exciting.

13.1 miles today.
Did my first half marathon. It turned out to be not only my worst race, but probably the single worst run I have ever had. My left IT Band flared up at mile 3, which even being prone to such problems is very early on a run for me. By mile 6 I was in trouble, but kept going. I started walking the water stops. At about mile 8 my right knee must have felt left out and it flared up as well. I pretty much went into survival mode, dropped my pace way down and tried to think happy thoughts.
I ended up finishing in 2:10, about 20 minutes slower than my normal pace during training. I'm not sure I ever really broke a sweat. At least I gritted it out I guess. Time to take a couple of weeks off and then see how things feel after that.

2 miles yesterday.
Those are the first miles since my legs blew up a couple of weeks ago (been doing strength exercises + foam rolling every day). Gonna keep the mileage low until I see how things respond. I think this time around I am going with minimal shoes.
