Comments: Rest day. My heart rate is super-high today. :o Woke up with eight hours sleep from vivid dreams. Bit nervous about it, actually. My weight is the lowest it's been recently too, but I haven't eaten anything today yet. Long run tomorrow of 15 miles. Decided to go for it, since I was only off running for about 12 days. Scheduled for 17-18 miles, but am playing it conservative. This is a bit aggressive, but my foot looks good (stopped applying bandages) and I want to see what I can do. Also -- I have a standing invite to walk a family's collie on Sundays. :) This makes the walk more enjoyable. I love pets, but cannot have one at my home. Also -- Mary Button of raceready.com says she wears a Timex Ironman Triathalon which counts seconds after an hour has elapsed, which is what I need.
