No complaints today. Put in a nice easy 13 with the TNT crew today. Went out with the intent on going slow and keeping a steady pace throughout the run. Which I did better than I could have imagined. My splits were between 9:21 and 9:38 for all 13 miles. I actually had some of my quicker ones at miles 10 and 11. It was a relatively flat 13 today going back from mile 15 to Speen St. in Natick and back. Feet felt great. I switched out the insole of my Glycerine's which were awesome as far as hot spots and blisters and. I put them in the new 3030's and it was the perfect combo. No hot spots and no sore knee's, hips or anything. The right top of the ankle is a little sore this afternoon but really feeling great.
The best thing about this morning was that the TNT coaches brought in one the the researchers from Dana Farber. He spent a few minutes going over the types of research he is doing and explaing how the money that is being raised is helping him to get steps closer to cures for the type of blood cancer he is working with. It was very informative and helped to keep the running thing in perspective.
I now need to find an alternative to my GU gels. They have been killing my stomach over the last few weeks. I got some salt in my system today and it helped a little bit but I don't think it will help. That and keeping healthy will be the main goal over the next few weeks. This week it will be preparing for my big 20 miler on Sunday of next week. Looking forward to and dreading it at the same time.
