Roegner Park. No rain! It was just slightly cloudy and some sprinkles before I ran. Ran at about 9:15 a.m. No work today so was able to do my long run mid morning. Saw some disc golfers, walkers, and a sad situation. The sad situation was a black lab laying in the road and a lady holding and stroking his head. Then I saw a couple police cars over there. I think the dog got hit by a car; the owner looked so sad....Running wise: I had a pretty good run but was thinking the 8 miles would fly by so quick but not fast enough. Ran the regular out and back loop twice without the extra stretch past parking area. Then I tried something new and ran the last mile or less up the hill going up to lakeland hills. ouch! That was brutal but I did it slow without stopping. I got a little past mill pond loop and then turned around then when down a new path behind the tennis courts. No knee pain. well slight on my R knee front but not worriesome.

You are SO fast! I am so impressed with your skills. And reading your post almost made me cry thinking about if that had been my chocolate lab in the road. :-(

Are you at the fair right now? I hope so! Too bad the weather is so crummy.

I am terrified about the marathon and am starting to have all sorts of crazy negative scary thoughts. I had a terrible run yesterday and am totally questioning my ability to do one. SCARY SCARY SCARY!!!

Thank you! I am encouraged with the speed that I have been going the last 2 runs or so. We both have our ups and downs though; sometimes I"ll be having knee probelms while you are rocking it and then vice versa. They say injuries are common. Try to keep your chin up. It will get better and you'll do well! We are heading down the fair now. We were unsure due to the bad weather but looks better now!
