Objective: Active recovery from sunday race

Did the haynes classic training run with dan (2:01 800m runner) and will.  Dan wanted to push but luckily I had my garmin and told him I wasn't going under 8 and really wanted to keep it above 8:15 because of my race yesterday.  I am only really sore around my groin muscles (hip adductors).  So that is good, but I would rather not be sore at all.  This is the kind of sore that might keep going for several days.  I just hope it doesn't hurt my workouts on wednesday and friday.  

Objective met.

Thanks for your encouraging comments on my blog. That was nice to hear.

Your blog about the 30k brought up an interesting question I've always wondered about. The Macmillan calculator can only work with the data from our last performance. But then 2-3 months later, presumably, we are stronger and faster if we are training well. I don't know how to reconcile that unless one is supposed to run a 5K or 10K in the month preceding the marathon. Even still, I'm not trained for a 5K. Hm...

Enjoyed reading through your last few blog entries. Happy running!
