Running Goal for the Day:

  • Just run, no worries about pacing
  • Ensure that knee pain from yesterday was a fluke - pulled my knee wrap up onto my calf just in case I need it

Observations:

  • Surprised that I was not fatigued from yesterday's long run - yeah body!
  • I pulled my knee wrap up to my left knee around mile 5, slightest tinge of discomfort, chose not to risk any type of injury
  • Once again, I overdressed - I really need to get this correct on race day
  • Happy that I finished with the same pace as yesterday

Pace: 9:11

Conditions:

  • 54°
  • Wind N 1 mph

Goal of the Day:

  • Easy pace since tomorrow is mylast long run before my tapering of two weeks
  • Easy Pace - 11:00 (B) or 10:10 (A) / See how I feel after starting

Observations:

  • Decided to do Easy Pace A since my first mile was 10:04
  • Once I hit my stride, every thing goes south mentally - "I am not ready for a marathon." "Why am I running another mararthon?" "Every one else on this blog is incredibly fast even when they lament it was a slow, bad day." Yada. Yada. Yada.
  • Here are my splits - Mile 1 / 10:04 - Mile 2 / 9:32 - Mile 3 - 9:24 / Mile 4 - 9:09 / Mile 5 / 8:52 - Mile 6 / 9:19 (marathon intersection stop light) Mile 7 / 8:47 - Mile 8 / 8:20
  • I don't like when I beat myself up mentally. Comparison is a silly foe. Thank goodness for tomorrows. Back at it with a clean slate!
