This week I ran 15 miles.
This was a very good week of running for me. I started out feeling sore and creaky throughout my body, especially my knees, and ended the week feeling very strong physically and revved up mentally. This schedule of running four days a week is perfect for me, and I feel very confident about my chances of finishing the marathon strong.
The biggest things I need to work on are flexibility, water consumption, and sweating too much. The sweat and water consumption will go hand in hand; the more water I drink more consistently, the less salty and painful it will be. Flexibility wise, I'm just lazy when it comes to stretching, and that needs to change. I'm going to try to devote at least 10-15 minutes every night to stretching. I bet I'll feel a lot better in a month or so.
1 week down, 17 to go!

Congratulations on your first week! Glad to hear that you're feeling less "creaky" and your knees are better.
It was pretty funny listening to you and Nevin joking about your pronating and all when you guys did your show this weekend. Nevin reminded me of Stephen Colbert when he kept needling you.

I too reminded myself of Stephen Colbert when I was needling you. :-)
