5 Days & Counting

5 more days until Miami.  My fate is pretty well sealed at this point.  I mean I need to get enough sleep and really watch what I eat towards the end of the week.  But other than that my run will be my run.

So tonight I ran 4 miles per Hal Higdon.  All in all it was fine.  I’m still amazed because when I start the run I feel like it’s no big deal, but I was definitely by tired by the end.  You’d think at some point I’d realize 4 miles is going to take some effort.

My game plan at this point is to run 8:30 for the race and stop for water every 2 miles starting at 4.  Then Gu at 6 & 10 or 11.  We’ll see how it goes.

I noticed a weird knee pain for the first minute or two my run which has me a little alarmed.  It kind of feels like my knee-cap is loose and on the right side of my of my knee.  I don’t think it’s anything to get too fired up about but worth keeping track of.
