Marathon Training

I think I ran between a 8:40 and 9:00/mi pace.  I forgot to restart my GPS watch when I crossed an intersection.  It was pretty windy and the last 2 mi I was fighting the wind.  It was good for resistance training.  The back of my right knee has a slight pain while running that goes away after a couple of miles.  I felt it in the marathon around mile 14 and it lasted for a few miles.  It doesn't hurt otherwise; it is just irritating and not painful.  Its probably just an inflamation of my hamstring tendon.  I should have warmed up a little before the marathon.  It was just so cold and everyone was just huddling together trying to block the wind.

Ran 2.2mi with the Trigators at around an 8:30/mi pace.

Skipped the track workout that I usually do on Monday since I am still in the 2 week zone after my marathon and ran an easy 3 mi on my own at about an 8:50/mi pace.

Spent 30 min on my bike trainer.  Trying to get ready for tri season.

I ran with my boyfriend who is trying to get back in shape and beat me at the breast cancer 1/2 marathon in 4 1/2 weeks.

Ran the first mile around an 9:00/mi pace then picked it up a little as the miles progressed.  The last 2mi we ran at about an 8:20/mi and ended with an average of 8:40/mi for the whole run. 

Swam 1550yds.  Did a warm up 200, then 4 x 250yds, 150 drill, 200 cool down with breast stroke and back stroke.

Started out slow and picked up the pace at the end.  The average pace was an 8:26/mi, but the last mile my GPS was showing between 7:00 and 8:00 and some was up hill. 

Spent 40 min on my bike trainer and did some crunches and planks.
