It's three weeks out from the Nike Women's Marathon. I'm "on schedule" with my modified training program, and my foot is holding up like a dream. My left shoulder, however, is acting up, and hurts at really random times doing really random things. Not necessarily a clear case of rotator cuff tear, but really the last thing I needed in training. The doctor recommended 600 MG of ibuprofen, but I'm unsure about taking that much medication before a long run.
I'm in the "training zone" Not super excited or super concerned about finishing. From my longer runs, without major implosions, I should be able to finish ahead of the NWM cutoff pace, even factoring in a 30 minute delay to start. It really is more than I could have hoped for at this point, so I'm glad.
I do miss running in my vibrams. My IT band has needed more TLC since I'm running in full on running shoes, but I'm keeping the barefoot form as best as I can even when wearing the big clunkers... though the New Balance/Vibram cross over shoes do look sexy... I might look into getting one of those for after the NWM to train for the Tinkerbell Half Marathon :3
