Another 8 miles of aerobic base today. Hip and back felt remarkably better today. Have been trying to do a bit more easy stretching during the day at work and maybe that is helping a bit. I know my hamstrings are always really tight so lossening thing up a bit can only help. The temps continue to fall as our run this morning was around 67; a bit chilly at first but just right once you get going. Tomorrow we may do a marathon pace run of about 4 miles plus a mile warm-up and cool down. 8:00/mile is our/my new goal for the marathon but I am having doubts as to my ability to hold that pace for the whole marathon. We'll see how tomorrow goes for 4 miles and maybe make some goal adjustments after that. |
