One dose of Ibuprofen yesterday around dinner due to the aches and pains, but none this morning before our run. The hip and back actually felt pretty good, but my legs still felt dead. I had to make a bathroom stop just before mile 7 and when I went back out, the last 1.4 miles felt really good and I was able to step up the pace. I think I still have some lingering fatigue from last Saturday. I know I am still trying to get some fitness back and the 47 miles last week was only 2 miles short of my all time weekly mileage high, so I think I can attribute some of the fatigue to that as well. This week I am looking to log around 40-42 miles as I will be going into a slight taper mode for SGM. Hopefully the legs find some zip soon as the marathon is fast approaching. |
