Just 4 miles Sunday. I'm enjoying the tapering phase.
I made it a "family run" kinda day. I did 1 mile with Daisy Dog then 3 miles with Liam.
My legs feel great. My sinuses feel terrible. My allergies chose this week to reappear. The post-nasal drip is just awful. Ugh.
The Sunday forecast for Buffalo is 76 and partly cloudy. That'll work just fine. Assuming my head is clear by then.
My running gear is already packed. "Nervous excitement" is probably the best way to describe what I feel right now.
39 miles for the month. 233 for the year.
6 days until race day.

Long Run Sunday 5/10/2009
I left the house planning on doing 14. I ended up doing 13.5 (bad mental math on the fly by me).
But I did great.
I was actually faster doing 13.5 than I was doing 12 in the heat 2 weeks ago.
The weather was GREAT. 61 degrees is infinitely better for running than 83 degrees.
It's also a good thing I've got 6 years of allergy shots in me, too. The pollen count was off the charts. I would have been dying. I was covered in a yellow crust by the end of my run. Not good.
29.7 miles for the month. 203 for the year.
12 (!) days until race day.

Long Run Sunday 5/3/2009
Had a pretty good run yesterday. OK, but not great. Lightened the load a little bit (8 miles) and tried to go a little faster.
Weather was great. 62 degrees and cloudy. My legs felt fine. I was just tired.
And it has finally occurred to me that maybe I'm just not that fast.
As a side note, Daisy Dog has been given clearance by her vet to start running again. I shut her down back in October after she was getting gimpy. But an X-ray showed no signs of hip problems. I'm building her back up slowly. It's fun to have my running buddy back again.
9 miles for the month. 203 for the year.
20 days until race day.
