with a stress fracture scare now officially on the books, our “easy” run this week of 7 miles went just fine. both rachel and i thought best to take it easy and leave the land speed records for another day. up next is what is generally thought to be the most difficult run of the whole training, according to joe, the 15 mile run. it is supposedly the most difficult because it is the hump of the training. for most people it is the first time they have gone beyond 13.1 and takes its rightful place as the mental hump as well as the point at which your body gets used to the effort. we’ll see about that.

total road miles since training started(3/5/06): 53.6
