Training April 5 to April 11

1954

Three weeks until the Wisconsin Half-Marathon. Sunday I ran 11.2 miles in the morning and played basketball for two hours in the evening. I wasn't very good - but I survived. My left foot gets sore about an hour in to my run and my right hamstring doesn't feel quite right, but no serious problems. I've had treatment from Dr. Tony Breitbach The Wellness Revolution and today I had a massage from Arawa McClendon (Arawam@yahoo.com) and she concentrated on the problem areas.

I'm hoping to complete the race in something less than an hour and fifty mintues - I'd like to average close to 8 minute miles - and I should be able to, if the hamstring doesn't flare up. That's my goal anyway.
