NOV

I can't believe it is November. The temp this morning was 38F with the high today of like 63. At least it is sunny. Also I have this big challenge of training for my first 50 mile race as a BIG motivator in my life. Another thing that I do around this time of year to keep motivation high is look for and buy new gear for this upcoming winter. That and look forward to spring.

I got some decent miles this past week...As now I have a 4 week build then taper for this race. My foot problem is not exactly going away. I did a self diagnosis and I'm calling it tendinitis..with some mild pain and swelling. It really only hurts when I'm not doing anything or after I cool down..after I warm up a few miles the pain goes away some, however, the swelling is constant though.

Another item I've got to do is focus on my nutrition. As in actually eat. It seems I've been living off caffeine and chocolate the past few weeks. So I need to get more H2o and REAL foods in me. Also will talk to Jamie and Steve about their experience with the 50 mile distance and try to gather as much information from them that I can.

It's daylight savings time.not for sure if I like it.
