I don't know where my marathon training is headed. Had to bag a 15K race today. First the weather was really sucky; second my left side still didn't feel 100% normal. My left ankle and left side of my groin continue to be sore. In lieu of the race I went to the gym and did some weights and surprisingly felt pretty good so later returned to the treadmill, but immediately felt discomfort in my ankle (different spot of course), etc. So after a mile or so moved over to the eliptical for 15 minutes.

I have begun to adjust my expectations and it looks like getting the appropriate level of prep (distance runs) in for the LI Marathon just may not happen. LI is 8 weeks away and I have 5 weeks to get to a 16-18 mile run - I think thats really pushing it given my recent spate of "injury". I may need to settle for just the LI Half. We shall see.
