Rest / Medial Malleolus
* So, just a quick update: had an amazing long run on Sunday, but due to the snowy trails I had to run on 100% roads, which I haven't done for 2h20' in a very long time. I am guessing that the stress of the cambered road on my right foot was too much and the pronation in that ankle caused the pain, etc. Getting better every hour, I should be good to run tomorrow. Am being conservative with injuries this year, as I won't hit 3,000 miles (more like 2,700). No rush.

* 7:00, 6:39, 6:46, 6:33, 6:13
Once again, tremendously surprised at remaning fitness. Wore my Macca Racers because I felt I needed something sans-stability to let my malleolus have flexibility and I had zero pain during the run (residual after). It was a great, relaxed run, with absolutely no issues. Very thankful, but I hope the worst is behind me and this is solved. Need to keep icing and wearing my compression sleeve for the time being.

Sabbatical
Total
* And thus, I am forced to take a sabbatical from running due to my right medial malleolus tendinitis or stress fracture. I am getting checked out today to rule out a stress fracture so I can begin training the first week in January. 2010 has been a loss, but I did accomplish my most important goal: the CR at Blues Cruise. It is one of the rare moments in my career where I set my mind to do something and although I was dismally prepared, I had a hell of a run and nailed it. The race basically ended my season, but it was well worth it. Now onto 2011 and greater goals and new horizons. The first goal of 2011 is to run pain free. The second is to test myself over 50 miles and learn to be more patient. In January I will execute 6 weeks of progressively building my mileage. Then I will build for the Bull Run, if I get in. And then I will qualify for the IAU World Trail Championships in Ireland. That is the goal.

As of today, I am running the workout on Wednesday on the Zilker Park loop in Austin because the Marathon is my focus, not this weekend's 5K... * A great workout this morning. These workouts are always more mentally than physically demanding, as you try to rationalize everything under the sun. First o

Monday, 08-08-2011 AM: 2.59 miles steady out to Ft. McHenry in 18:10 + Weights PM: 6.19 miles with 5 x 1200m Trail in 4:29, 4:18, 4:28, 4:22, 4:25 (rec. 2') * Norris Ln, not recovered from yesterday's 11M race, but no worries, as I was cramming work before tomorrow's surgery. Not sure if I am going to miss any time or if it will be 2-3 days of no running. Will find out at 3PM. Dreadfully hot today and I felt so much better in the AM session. More energy. Tuesday, 08-09-2011 AM: 7.61 miles steady out to Patterson Park in 50:41 * 7:08, 6:43, 6:44, 6:42, 6:31, 6:34, 6:22 (avg. 6:39/mile)... surprisingly swift. PM: Nail Surgery * So, I had a pretty badly infected toenail on my right big toe that needed attention, and ultimately surgery. Should only miss 2-3 days of running, if not less. Surgery went well, no complications. Wednesday, 08-10-2011-Sunday, 08-14-2011 Recover from Nail Surgery * Well, I would have to say I have had a complication from
