not giving up on the comeback

just finished up - i must be getting used to the cold

just cruised along

7.2 7:24 pace

felt good and was going a little faster than in a long time.  also had a little episode in the middle.  had to sit for a min or two - once things settled down, i was back on the pace.  maybe that is a good sign that I was doing a decent pace for once.  

6.15 miles -  6:38 ave pace

weather is getting nicer - thought i was faster than that cause i was huffing at the end...bummer

feeling stronger through the hills - maybe things are turning around for me. 

8 at 7:22 pace  (I think - I messed up my watch and had to restart it)

 later in the day - ran another 4.9 - nice evening

trying get used to running under 7's again - not used to it yet :)

4.9 @ 6:54 ave pace

a little creaky this morning but otherwise an uneventful short run

hoping to get in another shortie this afternoon

4 at 7:30 ave pace

Just got back from my run for the day.  I ran my longest run since the marathon on nov 14th...i have time for 22 and 24 in the next two weeks.  I took my handheld with some new amino drink that I had a free sample that I got from one of the websites I go to.  It was ok.  It tasted a little sweet and was wet.  i think most of those products might be good and all, but are mostly mumbo jumbo. 

Anyway, ran a LOT of the ING race route. i wish i could get a hold of the sadistic s.o.b. who designed this course.  there is  absolutely no let up at any point. 
i have a little twinge in the left foot - a new area of pain - shooting pain one time but it held up as long as i didn't make any weird cuts or landings.

I forgot what a real long run feels like afterward.  I think I went a little too fast, but it just felt like I was moving along comfortably. 

I think if I get in two more before the race that will help me a lot.  The first 20 miler is always the hardest for me.  I need to HTFU. 

 20.4 7:17 ave pace.
