Marathon Training Diaries

Week 8 of marathon training was an emotional rollercoaster. I woke up Monday unable to put weight on my ankle, whined about it all over the Internet, and by Wednesday was pretty much back to normal. Until I skipped second breakfast.

It started out perfect. Hitting the paces, getting in the workouts. It was glorious. The stuff training plan dreams are made of. This week was the week I finally thought I had it all figured out.
