This will be the first marathon I've done in years without my standard New Balance 851s. I've been using Mizuno Wave Riders for short and medium distance and just started using them for long distance. They are lighter, feel better, and I get faster times at whatever training pace I run. My current pair has 308 miles and I just ordered a new pair.
I'm still feeling pretty positive about Ellerbe and my training. The soreness and stiff leg syndrome of the 15 mile run on Saturday are mostly gone. Will rest today and run a hilly 8 mile tempo tomorrow. I'd like to wish my friend James the Elder the best on his run this weekend at the Myrtle Beach Marathon. I couldn't get my butt in gear in time to join him but he did help inspire me to run Ellerbe. It appears that a bunch of the Mangum Track Club Ellerbe runners are going to be at Myrtle Beach this weekend also. Tell 'em I'll see them in Ellerbe for the marathon!
