Thoughts:

  • On easy days, I turn off my Garmin voice. I am trying to just run by feel.  I realize that I am all over the place with my pacing, but I am a more relaxed runner.

Thoughts:

  • I probably should have taken the day off. I was mentally not in the mood for a run. I felt sluggish. My strides were less than fast-paced.
  • Tomorrow is a new day, a new start, a new workout.

Thoughts:

  • My marathon pace was faster than I had aniticpated.

Workout: 18 miles easy, if feeling good, run miles 11 - 17 at MP pace. Final mile run easy

Overall Average Pace: 9:52

Splits:

  • 2 mi - 10:16 / 4 mi - 9:39 / 6 mi - 9:45 / 8 mi - 9:53 / 10 mi - 10:11 / 12 mi - 10:03 / 14 mi - 9:41 / 16 mi - 10:05 / 18 mi - 9:18 / 18.15 mi - 9:13

Thoughts: 

  • I ran home after 5 miles because I overdressed. It felt good to not wear so many layers of clothing.
  • At mile 14, I had to stop and loosen my shoelaces. My toes were killing me. They were being pinched horribly. I took Tynenol to ease the pain. These two changes really helped me finish strong and eased my pain considerably.
  • In genral, I was pleased with my overall pace. Managing my food consumption is improving.
