Today was a difficult run! Yesterday I woke up with a pinched nerve in my left neck/shoulder and it has been an issue ever since. I took yesterday off hoping it would cease &/or desist but to no avail. So today, I went out with the thought of doing what I could and hoping to get at least the 5.5 that I need to keep up with my pace.
I ran Fiesta Bay to keep cool as the clouds burned off fairly early inland. 8.31 miles in 1:16:53 for a weak 9:15/mile pace. It was a struggle to be sure but I made it.
Not sure about you, but the Olympic games are one of my favorite sporting events, especially the summer games with track & field, gymnastics, swimming, basketball (no so great with the pros!), boxing, & triathlon this year too. Here are 2 of our marathon runners about their rivalry:

Remember they are amazing runners, not actors! I was lucky enough to see Shalane run at Mission Bay when she won the 2011 USA XC championships. I think she won by close to a minute on barely a 5 mile course! Totally out-classed the field! Here is another article on her that will give you her trials story, pretty cool!

Pretty amazing transition from 10K to the marathon!
Total Miles: 1091.49 Pace Runner: 1033.49 + 58.00 miles
Running love to my parental units & to all! <3
