I ended up running only fifteen miles last Saturday, since my left ankle was a little bit sore, but that’s OK, because I probably needed a fall-back week anyway. (My shoulder was also a little bit sore from a fall on the ice a few weeks back, but a trip to the chiropractor seems to have fixed that.) Even though I felt good after the Mardi Gras Half Marathon in New Orleans, I worked pretty hard during that race, and I was probably a lot more tired than I felt. I definitely plan to run twenty-two miles this Saturday, and after that, I’ll just have a twenty-four mile run that I’ll do either the following Saturday or the week after that. Then it’s on to the Tokyo Marathon!
