no mileage, Chandler, AZ - My leg is feeling better. Today is the 5th rest day in the past 6 days. Tomorrow I might do a short run to test things out. Sunday I have the New Times race. I was planning on doing the 5k, followed by about a 10 minute rest and then the 10k. My leg will determine if I run both or if I run at all. I will at least crawl the darn 5k, so I can wear the tee I got for participating.
Trivia: In Arizona what can happen on the ninth Tuesday before the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November? Or - "El noveno martes antes del primer martes despues del primer lunes de noviembre" for those that only read spanish. And if you only read spanish, this must be a really confusing blog.
blog note: I'm trying to put my end mileage and the city I did it in at the beginning of each post. Kinda like what you might see in the newspapers.
Update: If you don't read Pokey's blog, now would be a good time to do so. Pokey is one of my running buddies. She's getting ready to run her first half marathon, the Big Sur Half in California. Today she wrote a great post which I'm sure a lot of us can relate to.

Update Again: mile 1032, Chandler, AZ - I felt good around 8 pm at night, so I thought I would test my leg. I got in 2.2 miles and it felt great. I could feel a knot in my leg at the end, but it wasn't bad. I think I'll be ok on Sunday. It was a nice 26 minute jog.

I like the mileage at the beginning of your post. I wish I had kept track of all of my mileage like that.
Now I know why I thought you weren't putting up new posts...your New Times post as a 2009 date on it so it keeps showing up at the top of your blog. I'll catch up now.
Pat -- don't push it on the leg. If it doesn't feel right, it can only hurt you down the road. Don't want to screw with your PF Chang's training.
Thanks Jeff, I read it after I ran. but, you're right. I won't push it, I want to run the marathon come January.
I'm so proud of our Pokey. Wasn't that fantastic??!!
If you are up to it, I hope you will join us for the first ever 8 on the 8th Run: A Virtual Race for Running Blogging Friends. Yes, I just made that up. :D Isn't it cool? I made up the lame logo too! Check my site.
Hope your leg is healing.
Pat, I hope all is well with your leg!! I will see you tomorrow! Karen's post was fantastic!
Happy thoughts for you. enjoy your race and take care of your wheel - you only have 2 so you need to take care of those babies!
