Well, I finally got around to calculating my target pace for each of my workouts and, boy, my two mid-week workouts have just gotten a lot tougher! Tuesday night, I did "speed" intervals, but slower than target ('cause I had not yet calculated). After calculating, my tempo run last night ended up faster than Tuesday night! Not sure how I'll do on my speed interval night next week as the tempo run was such a challenge! In fact, I had to take a couple short walk breaks throughout the tempo run. Also, got some gastro distress and had to run to the potty after about a mile-and-a-half! (At least I ran there, right?).

Sunday, I am scheduled to do 20 miles. My dental hygienist was telling me how she's going to be pacing an ultra-marathoner this weekend, so I asked her if she knew of a good physical therapist . . . she's not done p/t, but gave me a referral to a good massage therapist, who she says is very good at "diagnosing" muscle probs and such. So, I have an appointment scheduled for Monday evening.

Keep up the good work everyone! And, limewave, please listen to your body. Hope you feel much better soon, Grog. Tattiefritter, post pics of your new shoes -- they sound fun! And, spindizzy, hope you continue to enjoy fall . . . oddly enough, the first day of fall and we saw a spike in temps and now we're still in the mid-90's. At least I'm not in Phoenix anymore where I'm sure it's still in the 100's.
