11/16/13 Saturday November 16, 2013 (10 or so mile run around the lake)

Seattle half marathon training - race is Sunday December 1 (2 weeks)

Start 4:45 pm

End 6:35pm - ran for 110 minutes (1 hour, 50 minutes)

Ran for time but didn't track miles, should have been a little over 10 miles but less than 11 miles.  I ran generally on the outer lap around Greenlake.  I was surprised that the body felt pretty good actually, probably helped a lot that I tried to stay off the concrete as much as possible, focused on running through grass, etc.  My arches did not really act up until the final 15 minutes of the run, which is an improvement on the last several weeks.  My right ankle was tender again, I believe that really originates in the R glute, hip, and eventually transfers down to the ankle.  I really do need to figure out how to improve mobility in that ankle because that could be an issue on race day.  Wind was fine, pace consistent.  My endurance actually seems very very good, the issue if anything is the R ankle, and arches.  I did some lacrosse ball work afterwords on my feel which felt really good.  Have to really focus on these feet and if I do, the Seattle 1/2 marathon race race on December 1 should go fine.
