AM - 2.2 mile warm-up then 6 miles at marathon pace with splits of 6:27, 6:23, 6:24, 6:24, 6:25, 6:24. Aerobically, this workout was not challenging - my breathing was under control and I felt very comfortable. At about 5.5 miles, I could feel a little strain in my hamstring and psoas muscle. So it seems that 30 minutes of tempo effort is about the limit for now. I'll take it for now! Did yoga for the first time in about 3 weeks and it was tiring! Stretching is hard. Need to get back on the every day plan again. So sad that Paula Radcliffe had to withdraw from the Olympic marathon. Her statement is worth a read. PM - Ultimate frisbee practice...Garmin had it at 3 miles worth of walking, jogging, and running so I'll count it as 1.5 miles.
