Motoring along

So, started "official" Boston marathon training after the long recovery from the half marathon in early Dec (see prev post).  I chose to try Pfitzinger medium mileage program as I feel more mileage may make the marathon "seem" shorter.  Who knows.  I have been able to string together a lot of it but have had to be flexible with the recovery days.  The only issue I have developed is with my left soleus getting really tight and downright sore with the medium long/long runs.  Trying to work this out and may need to seek out the ART guy but will see how this week goes.  Took a week off of work between X-mas and New years and got in the mileage along with quite a bit of swimming (including wetsuit open water polar dip!) so not totally out of multisport world!  I am committed to a relay (as swimmer, funny I know) for St Anthony's Tri two weeks after Boston so I HAVE to keep swimming!  

Put together a solid 18 miler that felt a LOT easier than last year so I see that as progress.  Keeping healthy is my main priority but getting in the miles is a close second.  The Dane is running some now so hopefully my lonely run days will be numbered!
Next race will be the Clearwater Halfathon in two weeks.  Haven't done this race in a couple of years and looking forward to the brutal bridges!  I hope to do a bit better this time around as I have spent quality time on the bridges going in!  We shall see....
Go Broncos!
