I have been lurking for sometime -- too long. Although I need to get my Garmin out for splits, I do remember going through the half in 1:41. By that time my right leg began to have issues (I was compensating for a sore right big toe) and I could tell that I was under-trained. Rather than risk injury, and with no real motivation since I could see 3:20 was not going to materialize, I eased way on in to a 3:53 finish. Very disappointing. As usual, I need to get more serious and recognize that the lack of accountability from my failure to report on the blog hindered my development.

Before the run I did meet Jon, and spotted a bunch of you other fastrunningbloggers -- nice sweats.

One hour on home elliptical. Will log equivalent of 6 very easy miles.

Six miles at the gym on the treadmill.  Easy pace.
