Yes this morning I got my butt out of bed for only 3.5 miles!! These Wednesday runs from here on out over the next month are going to be very important recover/strength training days for my down hill running legs. I know last years Phoenix Marathon was hampered by shin splints that did not allow me to focus on building these muscles for the first half of the race. Therefore, I'm still healthy at this point I decided to go for it and slide 2x4's under my treadmill so I can run downhill since mine only has vertical incline abilities. I might add some distance as we go but maybe not and hopefully this will allow me to not have wobbly legs later in the race!!
