Started out on lead legs for some reason.  I wore my very old/many miles  running shoes on the TM yesterday so that probably fatigued out my legs a bit.  But honestly my legs have been hurting a lot lately.  Lots of nerve pains in my hamstrings and quite a bit in my feet.  I felt like Andrea described about painful feet that you would expect at the end of a marathon feeling.  At least I wore my Brooks Pureflow that feel very cushiony.  Hoping to do another check with this shoe as the cause for my sudden flare of IT band issues last week.  I could feel both IT bands just very slightly trying to act up in the run but nothing currently nor nothing when I ran the last four miles fast.  I haven't run my 18 miler with four fast at the end since before Painters Half.  I didn't feel as good during the four fast as I have in the last two times I ran this loop but I managed to stay on goal.   I told God I didn't want to fail today so please help me out.  I took a gu at mile 9 (kept running) then stopped at mile 12 at the eternal water fountain.  It was running without much pressure so I tried as hard as I could to get some liquid in me.  One mile later (13) I started my 4 fast miles.  Again I run 13 to 17th mile fast as the 18th mile has a nice downhill portion.  I don't want to cheat.  : D.   Today was not easy to stay at the goal pace of under 7mm but I did it and I am happy the effort was there!!  Those splits were 6:50 (would have been faster but the streetlight was red so I had to turn left when I needed to go straight and kept looking over my shoulder to see if I could cross yet), 6:42, 6:45, and 6:43.   AP= 6:45.    Took a long hot shower and got my personal masseuse to roll out all my muscles.  AP for the 18 miles = 7:52.

You freaking rock!!! Nice job Julie. I know for a fact that the fast miles at the end are going to payoff for you.

Are you working tomorrow? If not you should come do an easy (I'm talking 9+ pace) run with me. My body feels like it's been through a meat grinder this week!

Good 18 and solid finish! Those fast finishes definitely, definitely pay off!
