i'm happy to report that my weekly updates are almost getting mundane. i finished the week with a solid 11 mile run. the whole week felt strong with no real problems and i'm feeling more confident than ever. my biggest problem so far seems to be still not having a good sense for "good" and "bad" pain. i guess injury tends to do that to you, making you pensive and doubting. my best indicator appears to be the fact that i'm not taking any ibuprofin after runs, although i do need to keep up with a few of the exercises that my physical therapist gave me.

next week, i'll keep the weekday runs the same and add a mile to the long run for a total of 12 miles.

interesting. jeff veen discovered a use for his treo during the motorola marathon:

"So as Leslie ran, I cruised around the route on a borrowed vintage Schwinn with my Treo in my pocket. I was looking to meet up with her just after the halfway point, and ride along as support for a while. I pulled up by W's old house, checked the Web page, and saw that she'd be coming by in about 15 minutes. I grabbed a cup of coffee, waited a bit, and sure enough, there she was. I pedaled along side her for about an hour, giving her exact split times every time we passed a sensor, calculating her pace as we progressed, so she could set her tempo accordingly."

this is all the more interesting because despite the fact that i'm a motorola employee i had no idea there was a motorola marathon. maybe i should do a better job coordinating business trips. i'm looking for dorky things to do during the flying pig. maybe i'll snag a camera phone and moblog the marathon. i wonder how the photos would turn out? blurry? maybe i should buy a camera and do some testing.
