So I pretty much dropped off the face of the earth after the SF Marathon. I spent a few weeks taking it easy, but then life got very busy, and I really had a hard time finding time to run.
In late August, I was doing some non-voluntary running (a work thing--chasing a student who was running away) and ended up getting a stress fracture in my upper femur. Ouch. Could barely walk for a few days and definitely needed to take time off from running.
Late October came and I finally got to start running again. I was pleased and a little surprised at how quickly the fitness is coming back. I am presently building up to 40 miles per week. This time around I am going to emphasize running nearly every day and building a much better weekly mileage base. My goal is to get up around 45-50 miles/week before my next marathon.
Speaking of marathons, I am considering the Death Valley Borax Marathon in February as my next biggie, and I have a 5k on thanksgiving and a 10K in mid-December as short-term goals.
