Uh Oh

So. Picture this: marathon in four weeks. No running to speak of for the previous two weeks.

I needed to get in an 18 mile run. It needed to go well. Neither of these things came to pass.

I ran 15 miles. I stopped early because my left knee was throbbing with pain at each footfall. The next morning my right Achilles tendon was very tight and sore.

Crap. Crap. Crap.

So now I have four weekends until the marathon. I haven't had a good long run in a month. My left knee hurts. My right Achilles tendon hurts. This is not looking good.
