Tomorrow I'm taking a big step, or to put it more accurately, about 1200 more big steps. I'm going to attempt my first 40 minute run since recovering from the stress fracture. This will be my longest run in almost 7 weeks. 40 minutes should put me somewhere over 5 miles for the day. I'm a bit nervous because I really don't know how my leg is going to feel. Running at 30 minutes this past week my leg has felt great but I just don't know how I'll respond to adding 10 additional minutes. I need to make this step and get past the mental fear if I want to make it to the next goal, which is running the opening 10k leg in two weeks at the Akron Marathon. I have a goal in that race of finishing somewhere around 45 minutes. That will be the slowest that I've ever run it but given the fact that I'm still in recovery mode, 45 minutes will be a great accomplishment. I'll post something tomorrow on how it went. That's saying that I actually make it out with all of this rain that we're having.
