Philly Marathon training Day 1! Scheduled was 8 miles w 4 miles at 15k/HM pace. I ended up doing something more like tempo intervals. 1x2 miles (6:53, 6:53) about 4 mins recovery, 2x1 miles (7:03, 6:58) with 1 min recovery in between. Obviously had tougher workouts, but it felt great to be working hard, and hitting the right LT pace... and I wasn't going to try doing the whole 4 at once in 80 degree heat and with the minimal miles I have been running in recent months.Shin pain was barely there (only about a 1 on pain scale) and I formed some gigantic blisters from the superfeet. But overall, felt really good :)
