My left knee is still bothering me. Sunday I ran on the turf field at the high school... after 6 miles the knee hurt enough I had to stop. Since changing surfaces sometimes helps, I tried running on the road and, mercifully, the knee didn't feel great but felt good enough to run and I was able to get another 11 miles in. Since banking more miles isn't going to do much, from here on I'm going to switch to a lot of biking and get a few road miles in here and there. Hopefully the knee will be right by Marathon Weekend.

Total Miles: 41

Tuesday: 4
Wednesday: 8 (including D5K)

Disney Corrals

The Disney Corral assignments for marathon weekend have come out. They've cut the number of corrals in half and they only go from A-H now instead of A-P. Apparently they are going to release each corral in waves. A lot of big marathons are going with this approach.

Our corral assignments:

Aaron: B (half marathon)
Ethan: B (half marathon)
Ellen: C (half marathon)
me: A (half and full marathons - Goofy Challenge).

I'll move back to the C corral (probably Aaron too) to run with Ellen in the half. Ethan might stay in B and run with his friend Chris.

With the smaller corrals of the previous races I probably would have been in the C corral, so it looks like the larger corrals worked out for me.
