3 days left.

Did not do any workouts since the last LSD. Kept feeling yucky, heavy feeling in the legs. GB with lingering backache since Sunday, kept reading weather forecast of high winds, maybe rain in SF on sunday, just felt down.

This AM made myself get up and do atleast a half hour session on the t-mill. Dont like that anymore, too boring, running in place. OTOH, its dark outside and I am not a brave person. So had to settle on the t-mill in front of the T.V, watching the news repeatedly, same exuberant, over-happy bubbly newscasters, looking so fresh at 5 AM, as if they have come to party.

Did 32 min, ? distance ,1.6-1.7 miles, R2/W1, slow. But felt better after. Did some stretches. Maybe after the marathon will start a new program of 3 week day R/W on t-mill with 2weekend day R/W outside. Thats if come out of the marathon in one piece.
