| Again, no pain, so I'm thinking I'm over the injury. But I'm still trying to decide how much to boost my mileage next week, and what my strategy for St. George should be. If I want to run on my own and try to go under 3, or if I want to pace my mom and/or Zach, and then maintain a solid base and shoot for an even faster time next year. |

| I would have done more today, but I rolled my ankle when I ran into a rattlesnake on a trail up in the mountains/hills. I went home and iced it and I'm hoping I can recover quickly. But my right foot/heel that was hurting before isn't bothering me at all. |

| My ankle is feeling much better, so I'm glad that it wasn't a more serious injury (just a little tweak). The weather has been fantastic the last few days, and it should continue for a bit. I'm also looking forward to good weather through the winter so I can get in some good training! | |

| 8 miles with the stroller. Feeling good, which is great. I'm not sure what will happen in St. George this year, but I'm confident that next year I can have a solid race. | |

| 20 total with about 14-15 with the boys in the stroller. We got a late start, so it was pretty warm at the end. But it was a great week for running. |

| Good run with the boys running some errands. We had a long, hard night last night (I only slept about 4 hours), so it was a pretty good run after that. And I'm probably going to get a nap today. |

| I went 9 miles with the boys in the stroller. I found a backroad that goes to Andulka park, but that has a lot less traffic than some of the other streets, and it has been great. I'm feeling good about training. Whether it pays off this year, I'm not sure. But I think we're laying a good foundation for future races. |

| It was a little warm today, but not bad. I went 8 with Joshua and Nathan in the stroller. I have a mildly sore throat after a couple bad nights of sleep, but the running has been going well. |

| 8 miles with Nathan in the stroller. My throat is feeling better today, so that's good. I've been going a little later in the morning, so it's been pretty hot. But I figure that should help with the potential heat at St. George. |

| I got a nasty stomach bug Thursday night, so this was just trying to get out a little. I haven't gotten this sick in a very long time. |

| 7 miles with the boys in the stroller. I threw in a few strides here and there and went faster coming back than going out. |

| I went 5 miles with the boys in the stroller, 2.5 of it with Anna. Classes start today, and I start teaching tomorrow, so it's a fun time of year. |

| This ended up being a little longer than I had planned. We were in San Diego for the weekend and I had a great run around Mission Bay, with a few miles down around 6:10 pace. But since I hadn't run there before, I wasn't quite sure when I should turn around and run back to my sister's house. So I ended up going a bit longer than is probably ideal a week before the marathon. |

| 4 miles with the boys in the stroller. I threw in fairly regular strides just to get comfortable going a bit faster and to get my legs used to it. Over the weekend, my hunch that I went too hard on Saturday was confirmed, since I felt like I was recovering from a half-marathon (for which my time would have been right around 1:30, maybe a bit faster). But I'm feeling better now. |
