I have not logged into Daily Mile for a while, because, well, I have not been running. After Big Sur, my quad and hip had been bothering me. I took time off, but still no relief. Turns out the root... read more

good Big Sur Marathon = awesomeness 26.2 mi 05:36 12:49 pace
What an experience! Big Sur was simply amazing. It was challenging, difficult, incredibly hilly (more than I expected) and hot (warm day, zero wind - unusual), but that just makes it all the more m... read more

Congratulations Pam! Sounds like a terrific run. I'm so glad you had a terrific race! Look forward to getting the details in person.

I'm a little behind on commenting...congrats on the Big Sur marathon! What an amazing achievement! You will break 5...start with a slightly less hilly course and that should help!

alright W&OD - Hunter Mill 3 mi 00:37 12:20 pace
Met Kris after work for an easy, slow (and hot!) 3 mile run. My leg still ached a bit, but felt better toward the end once I was warmed up. Not sure I feel too ready for Sunday's marathon, but... read more

blah 12 miles on tired, achy legs ... 12 mi 02:25 12:04 pace
This was not the run of someone doing a marathon in two weeks. Ugh. My legs were tired from the get-go and it took me a good 4 miles or so to even feel warmed up and ready to continue. My left hip ... read more

You're an Inspiration:
I'm so impressed that you persevered for the full 12, even when you were not feeling your best (though you were looking strong when we parted at mile 5). It's that kind of mental toughness that will ensure you have a GREAT race in 2 weeks!

No, there was no dancing - more of a classical concert. I think the time I spent on the elliptical Friday night is what did me in. I have high hopes for the taper. Thanks!

Allegedly! :-) I was surprised to see such an intense workout only two weeks or so from race day, but the distances do look to be getting shorter on the horizon. I only need to run 13 on Saturday.
Thanks for the note!

Thanks, Cristy! It was definitely tough - and, at times, depressing and frustrating - to go from marathon training to, well, nothing. I plan to take it slow and do every single thing the doctors tell me to. :-)
