Firstly, I did not do any yardwork because it rained--forgot that was supposed to happen. I didn't go to the "Y" to XT, either. My left shin was bothering me as was my left foot in the arch area. Immediately, I'm thinking, "Shin splints, tendonitis & plantar fasciitis--I'm not going to be able to do 26.2 miles." Got a bag of frozen peas to put on my shin for about 15 mins & it felt better. I need to quit reading anything about sports injuries because each time I do, I swear I start feeling the pain.
Also, I'm considering changing my training schedule to this:
Sunday: XT
Monday: long run
Tuesday: XT
Wednesday: long run
Thursday: XT
Friday: Rest
Saturday: longer run
Yeah, I cut out the Tuesday short run. I'll try it next week and see how that works. Hoping a day or two of rest between long runs might help. Happy Training Everyone! :)

You are doing great Kim... I don't see how changing the schedule will help, but Mark might know a reason why. I am sure he will post a reply before the sun goes down. If you miss one, you miss one, and just get ready and plan for the next day. I will join your frozen veggie's ice down club if you start one. I prefer the frozen crinkle carots myself. They don't thaw out so fast! Blog on!
I think you are doing awesome too. you are running, that's pretty great if you ask me. I'm just moving along, hoping the course will still be there when I finish the marathon!
