Legs finally felt good today. I have been nursing a pain right above my right ankle. Ever since Thanksgiving I have not done any running. Been doing some cross training, but nothing too serious. Anyways felt good to get back out there today. Lincoln Marathon Registration opened yesterday and I was not going to register until I could run on the leg again. So I registered tonight and have decided that this is finally the marathon I am going to qualify for Boston!!!

Another 3 tonight. It was sub zero if I was going to run before school, so I decided second day back to not do that... Did not feel the pain above the ankle at all so cut loose on the last 2 miles and ran them both in 6minutes. Needless to say pretty happy that I can still get down that low after taking a few weeks off.

4 easy today. Only 20-25 mph winds with gusts of 30 today out here, nothing compared to what I heard others went through today!

Eight today, a bunch of positives from this run. I had no specific goal for today but to enjoy the fact that it was 40s in December, and I did! Before I realized it an hour had past and I was still feeling great, great confidence boost after the injury. I made it through a whole week of training with no ankle injury, which makes me feel that I can start the marathon training tomorrow. Trying for an increase of mileage gradually til beginning of February and then marathon specific. I really think that if I actually train correctly for a marathon that I can break 3! I really hope this winter early spring is good weather because I am feeling that this is the race! Oh reading that 20+ people were going for a group run today was a major motivator getting me out there today, so thanks!
