Friday March 20th – Date night with my Wife!

Another great high mileage week.  An old problem has resurfaced.  My peroneal tendinosis on my right ankle has flared up again.  Interesting it does not bother me walking.  It just hurts the rest of the time.  My last flare up in December went away on its own.  I am going to wish this flare up away.  No time to rest it.  Just over one week to the A2A Marathon.  The race day forecast will determine how I race this marathon.  With a north wind the A2A is a good race for a personal best.  A big down hill start.  The course runs 19 miles toward the south.  If we have high south winds I will use the Marathon as a supported training day.  Last year had gusty south winds.  I suffered with ham string cramps the last four miles.  I had a fast start but did not allow for the extra work pushing that headwind.  Lesson learned.
